We are in south Australia. I am having trouble finding something about it on the residential tenancies website. Hmmm

Hi, quick question.... We are looking for a place to rent and like 2 places (neither one is perfect but either one would be sufficient). Obviously we could apply to rent one and then have the owner not select us to be the renters and then we miss he deadline to apply for the other rental because of waiting to hear back on the first. If we apply to rent both.... And hypothetically they both select us to be the renters, can we turn down the acceptance of our application or by applying to rent are we bound to rent the place if they accept our application? thanks

Thanks for the ideas to everyone who had something helpful to say, I appreciate it. I really like the idea about the children's books....that is just what I was looking for Thanks!

Hi all, My husband and I will be relocating to the Adelaide area (from Canada) in Sept/Oct 2015. We are very close to our nephews who are 2 and 3 years old. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or suggestions for how to tell them that we are moving and they won't be able to come over and play with us on a regular basis anymore. We are moving out of our house this weekend and the 3 yr old is very upset that we are leaving our house and going to be living in an apartment because he "loves our house". We were thinking that we would just be straightforward with them and tell them what is happening (not until shortly before we leave though!) but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this, should we buy them a gift of some sort (suggestions)? It is hard on us to be moving away from them, but I know it will be even harder on them since they probably won't be able to fully understand it because they are so young. Thanks in advance

skyeman - I live in Saskatchewan, and yes, winter is very cold....colder and longer than Edmonton and Calgary. Obviously houses are built to stay warm....but you still have to go outside to work/get groceries/be social...you can only stay inside for so long. That 2 minute walk out of the grocery store to your car/loading your car in -50 in bruuuutal. That being said, some people love winter and snowmobiling, skiing, etc (although you still cant do those things a lot of the time because its so cold your skin will freeze in under a minute, haha)

Mike and Sarah. Ages 33 and 31 moving (from Canada) to Adelaide on a 190 Visa in Sept 2015! We are excited, but nervous about the move! Life is an adventure...

That is since the date of submission. We had our medicals and police checks uploaded about 2 weeks after submitting. I guess we got lucky, I thought it seemed pretty quick. Yours should be coming soon !

our wait time was just over 6 weeks for a 190

GRANTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I am a little happy!) ...best Monday morning ever Lodged Dec 3/14, Medicals and Police Checks done Dec 10/14

We flew with Philippine Airlines from Vancouver to Manila a year ago (14 hr flight) and it was the best flight I have ever been on (granted my overnight flights have only been with Air Canada/West Jet before). It was on a new plane...the seatback entertainment had movies, tv shows, games, music. Food was excellent, seats were comfortable. Legroom/seat size was good. We also flew with them from Manila to Honolulu (9 hours) and it was on an older plane that had no seat back entertainment (which we didnt realize when booking) so if you do decide to fly with them, just check what plane you are getting haha. The older plane was still comfortable seats/legroom and the food and service was still excellent.

Bump

Thanks guys! We are very very very happy! I can't even express in words how happy we are. @Allie, My advice is to figure out a way to prove that you do every bullet that they list for your occupation. That is what my husband did, and it seems to have worked! Good Luck with your reassessment!

@Allie POSITIVE OUTCOME! Yaaaaaaay!! .....only took 4 MONTHS for the reassessment, haha!

beckdownunder - what business/career are you in ?

Apparently the assessment is completed...we are now waiting for them to send us the results. I don't think I have ever been so stressed in my life. I don't think my husband and I slept a wink last night!
