Yes I guess so and I guess that is selfish i just want what I feel is best for us especially our daughter with the UK as it is today

Thank you for all your comments and on that note I didn't really explain myself in the opening post , the plan was to come out in March 2016 have 3 weeks in Perth , Adelaide and possibly Sydney with a view to how we felt after that , and if we felt it was right for us we would then move quickly on sorting everything out ie renting our house out, giving up our business and finally moving with no pressure of a long stay and with us saying if it works it works and we stay if not we come back to the UK she'll do the holiday but no more than that which I now feel would be a nightmare if I like it and she doesn't but she's not willing to try it longer term at all and that's where the problem lies really !

Thanks cafp06 I know your right but my wife doesn't want to go and I do and that's the problem I font want to look back in 10 years and wish I'd done it and didn't we have a beautiful daughter too she's 6 it makes it harder

Hi guys just joined the forum just sounding out really and feeling debased to say the least I'll try to cut down the story I'm a 42 year old UK male married , my wife and I have a beautiful daughter aged 6 it's always been my dream to at least try Australia with hopefully the feeling of liking it and moving lock stock out there full time , it's pretty much constant from my point of view that it's Australia Australia ! After year of being together it has now come a head that I would like to try and she's been quite forthcoming with the idea our home life here isn't bad really we have a lovely 4 bed detached extended home with s big conservatory a good revenue as were self employed and she's now hesitant and has burst my bubble ( her words ) that she doesn't want go go at 42 and 46 this is our lanst chance I'm gutted has anyone else been in a similar position and how did it go ? Sorry for sounding off !
