Hi, I am hoping someone out there might be able to answer a few questions or us! We are finally about to make our move to Melbourne from Ireland within the next few months. We are looking at the end of march for our two babies to be granted resident visas. Myself, my partner and our 7 yr old son have visas and they are activated as of sep 12. We came back for family reasons and since had 2 more baby boys! and so we have had to wait through the whole process again. Anyway, cutting a long story short!.... my partner is a Software Developer and I'm a stay at home mam. We are moving to the Melbourne as we agree that the culture and lifestyle of Melbourne is for us and we loved it while visiting. We are considering moving all of our furniture.... beds, sofas, bikes....bundles of toys....... Has anyone moved all there things with them? can you give me some advice? is it worth taking them compared to the price of buying everything new from scratch! Also... I am now getting completely anxious about the whole move.... I realise that its a big move and like everything, things fall into place.... but I am worried that making friends is going to be hard especially as my partner will be gone all day. Can anyone recommend any family oriented suburbs to live with a close commute to the CBD? I have been looking into our options for going on a year now and I guess I am just so flooded with information that I am going into Panic Mode! My partner is flying out first and myself and the kids will join him shortly after. He is going to be roughing it for a while, job hunting and hose hunting , while I sort out Logistics!! If anyone out there has been in the same or similar position would you please fill us in on how you got on ? Thanks so much for your time:chatterbox:
