i know going at the time that we are will be more expensive ith it being the holidays. but finding a holiday rental seems to be a bit more tricky than we thought.

hi calngary on realestate.com there is no holiday rentals to select. there is only rent, and although they come up with weekly cost am guessing these wont be furnished? thanks

thanks for that calngary i had a look on stayz its hard to narrow it down to an area but i will have a look at realestate.com thank you

hi everyone i am looking for a reasonable priced holiday let from the 3rd jan in brisbane area. all areas considered but would prefer to be somewhere near the coast. thanks for looking and all help is highley appriciated

thanks srg73 whats the difference in the visas? and how you apply and are granted them? we aren't certain of QLD its just as we know a few people who have travelled oz and say they loved it there and couldnt really fault it if they were to move there. and we looked around and just seemed perfect for what we were after, better standard of living, social, more outdoor time, better weather, friendly, clean and tidy and lots to do. the uk is getting worse in our point of view and would like to live life to full and take the opportunity.

thanks for the replies everyone big help. we going to try and look at as many areas as poss when we come over. tbh the sooner we can start the ball rolling to move out there the better. when we go over next year we are going to enquire about jobs we could have (not really wanting sponsorship just for the ties) glad we aiming for 3 weeks so we see alot more and gives us more time to see if it really is for us. looking to book our flights within a month we so excited now.

i guessed that about the rabbits, but fish are imported from oz to uk so why not back? i have a marine tank so nothing could go i.e fish,rock, coral, nothing? bit disapointing if this is the case.

great help gbye grey sky really good idea to do this. how did you work out a budget tho? did you look into what salary you would get and take it from there? i know tina said 3 months before got a home loan and we would be renting for around 6-12 months anyways. is it hectic in january with school hols? i see your planning emigration aug 2015 have you decided on an area? thanks

thanks tina we were thinking a rental rather than a hotel just to see what was like to live i.e shopping and everything, is it better to go just that little bit further out for a rental property thanks i will get onto petair about that thank you

yeah that be great thanks tina. we trying for just after new year. i dont think there much we would want to ship to be honest the fewer things the better, what are they like on taking pets over? we have two house rabbits and fish. i read somewhere these would not be allowed in is this correct? we have put off coming out early this year so dying to get out there soon but we werent sure if to book and stay in one place or move around any ideas which is best? thanks for all the help

is it easy to rent a car for a couple weeks for easier access to look around? david

is coming over for 3 weeks enough time to look around everywhere and see what everything is like? just to get an idea of what life could be like. we just so sick of the uk we want a better standard of living and more outdoor time esp with wanting to start a family sometime in the near future. after we go over early next year we would pretty much want the ball to start rolling if we really thought it is definately for us. been having a look for rentals is just about every area i can see the price variation but dont want to let the price over rule the area would like to have the option of a bit of both. thanks

thanks tina how long did the hole process take from starting your visas to actually moving? yeah i thought that all the photos on the website theres hardly any look not nice. how long is it til you could buy your own place after securing jobs? and is it really expensive? just i have rented before and yes it is nice but nothing like it being your own. there wasnt much we wanted to ship over but the more you ship the more you have to look for a home that would be ok for all the stuff so dont want to be restricted too much. when we visit early next year we will have to look around wellington point i have read a few people have recommended it thank you

thanks for that skani. am not looking for city centre but not too far away for using transport. thank you

thanks for the reply. we were looking at the skilled migrant visa as that what we have been told using my job (sheet metal worker) been told been best for the points i would gain, but also been told working in a hospital is a good point earner aswell. we didnt really want to seek sponsorship just for the fact you mentioned we were hoping to find work when got out there, although we were going to enquire when we go early next year to get a good idea how easy/hard it is to find work. any advice on best areas to try visit to look round i.e for houses, schools, public transport, parks etc? we going for 3 weks early next year and treating it as a look around/decider rather than a holiday. and we would have to rent when moved how hard is this to do with no jobs at 1st? what would we be looking at for a nice house are they expensive? thanks

hi everyone me and my partner both late 20's are seriously thinking of leaving UK and relocating to oz around the Brisbane area. but really need help on where to start in everything really. i am a sheet metal worker and partner is a pharmacy technician. i have been told we be OK for visas but its how long it would take to find a job and the overall cash we would need to move over with we were aiming for 100k after savings, selling house and belongings, but obviously this will also be used for flights, shipping, visas etc etc. we are going over early next year to have a good look around any help with best areas to look at for future areas to relocate to? we have been looking for a while and you always seem to find what your looking for answer wise then you read something else that is the opposite of the 1st. we know people that have been over to Brisbane and loved it but they were just travelling. any help with anything would be much appreciated thanks
