I'm not unhappy with life here, I worry for the future of the UK for our kids, that's the pull, but it has to balance on the scales! You've given us a lot to think about, thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. X

You may be right there, thanks for all of your suggestions and for taking the time to answer, some pretty selfless people out there! X

Great advice again thanks! That 'what ifs' a killer isn't it! We actually made a decision to go about 6 years ago but after seeing the devastation it caused our families, (both sides burst into tears) we cancelled, so we know the difficulties. That seems a good idea to go with a 2 year plan, we'll give that a lot of thought. Is there a general life feel good factor for us poms in oz? And what do people think about the future of the country for our kids and future gens?

Thanks for your advice, if we were to make the move I'd go with every positive thought in me, I'm just eager to make the right move not just for myself but my kids and future family generations, it's always a tough one whenever we discuss it. Sometimes we''re out with friends n family n say we wouldn't get this if we moved but then winter sets in and we're stuck inside for 6 months and we're talking about it again! Maybe it will never go away unless we take the plunge

Hi, we're a family of four, daughter age 7 and son age 2, and we're undecided as to whether a move to oz is worth the obvious upheaval! My wife and I visited for a month pre kids and loved it, but we're not sure whether a move is better for us than staying in UK. We have a good life over here with great friends and family but the thought of moving to oz is never far from our minds, now more than ever with all this Isis stuff going on and the British government's inability to see the danger on our doorstep. Has anyone got any opinions on this either way, we would really appreciate your advice, thank you!
