Personally I do think you are mad. Is your life that dreadful in the uk to want to move to the other end of the earth with your son and leave behind family support and friends. You'd still have the same daily life routine here. Same **** different country as such. I've been here almost 2 years. I live in Sydney and I do like it for diversity, city and beach life along with the stunning Blue Mountains. On the other hand I miss the beauty of the U.K. Local woodlands beautiful countryside. Culture and depth of history. The build up to Christmas, coming home to snuggle up in front of the fire. Which you can still do here June-August. I'm in a new build now but still miss having double glazing and insulation. I'm lucky as we haven't put down permanent roots and both wish to move back home at some point. But for now we are appreciating Sydney life as its a great City in my opinion.

I haven't inspect any as yet. There's only 2 of us so we're not too worried about space. It's temporary accomodarion we kept our nice house in England. The ice heads who moved in opposite us in Oatley put us off! On the whole it's a nice suburb not enough going on there for us. There's been an incident this week with a guy trashing parked cars and shouting at the owners to come out and fight.

Balmain is a nice suburb in Sydney with close up Harbour Bridge Views. We've been checking it out. We can get a 2 bed apartment some with pool and gym complex from $575 to $650 which is quite reasonable.

Happiness and contentment developed along with jobs a nice area to live and family support with the little ones. Happy mum happy thriving children. A good husband or father would be able to see that and make the decision to stay for his family. That alone should make him happy and content. Tricky situation and I don't come on here to argue I offer support.

Hello, please please stay put. You couldn't possibly have predicted what would of developed in those 2 years. It sounds like you are happy and you have work along with help with your children. Surly your husband must of realised how you were in Oz compared to how you are now. If he loves you he should support you and except that the UK is where his family is happy. How has he been in the uk? Has he suffered depression?
