My husband & I came to Adelaide in 1989,we bought our 4 children with us then.Having worked hard for the past 26 years(I retired last Oct after nursing for 26 years here & 18 years in the UK) My husband left British Telecom in the UK but could not get a position here in Telstra so having to work at a job to enable us to educate the children & buy a house,we are now "empty-nesters"! Our children could not settle in Adelaide so when they finish Uni 3 went back to the UK & 1 went to Toronto.One son reurned last year but informed us they will be returning back to the UK after a couple of years. Adelaide is too far & we feel isolated! Plus we have friends & relatives there. We thought if we return to the UK(we have dual citizenship) we might see our children more often then once in 2-3 years?? Living in the UK will enable us to travel to the European countries we have always wanted to visit and they have direct flight to Toronto bypassing the USA. Seems crazy I know after 26 years but I guess as we have no ties in Australia now,so it is now or never for us. Thanks for your replies.We appreciate your comments.

My husband & I are planning to relocate back to the UK after 26 years in Australia. Will we be taxed on money we bring back to the UK,we have already paid tax on the capital in Australia when we were living & working here? Also,how does one begin to plan this move,we are now in our late 60's?
