Hi Paul,
Thanks for your kind reply to my post.
Interesting to know that you've lived in the Netherlands. My wife was born in Poeldijk which is a part of Monster I believe. You'll be very familiar with the typical landscape of this region full of greenhouses
I went to the xpdite forum, they have very interesting posts, specially lists of things to do before leaving the Netherlands, as my wife loves to make lists of everything .
Pomsinoz site seems to have a massive community with very active users which makes it also nice to use.
Good to hear that there is a prominent Dutch community in Melbourn. Sometimes, it's hard to convince our family with very good reasons to move to Australia. Our arguments are mostly like, the weather is so nice there and we'll have plenty of nature and room there.
I am curious which other reasons are there for Dutch people to move to Australia.
Additionally, the visa requirements, process and costs are overwhelming, is it really worth moving.
Our response is generally, if you'll not do it, you will never know if it is worth doing
I would love to hear what others think about it.
Groetjes and Thanks
