http://www.policerecruit.qld.gov.au/alternativeEntry/ "Applications are invited from current and recently serving police officers from other Australian and international jurisdictions" It might be worthwhile contacting the above. I do notice that there are some forthcoming seminars https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/queensland-police-recruiting-8421222788 this month, you could possibly consider booking another flight to Oz !. Who knows where this might lead!

My opinion for what it is worth is that there is discrimination in all societies whether you are in your own country or here in Australia. We must not forget that Australia is a global mixture of all colours and creeds and "usually" people tend to fit in very well. If you show you intricate into your chosen community I foresee no problem whatsoever, but if you choose to only mix with Asians and the Asian communities then I could envisage a dichotomy of cultural problems. This also applies to other nationalities as well IMHO. My motto is whilst embracing my own culture and its merits I embrace Australia and the opportunities it has afforded my family and I and my loyalty lies with the latter! Had I moved to China, I would obviously have the same concerns as they would exist if the boot was on the other foot!

Good info there, and if people can find a job not a bad place to start life here in Australia. Launceston to Sydney is 1.hr 35 mins and Hobart is 1.55 mins. I love flying over Sydney, such an awesome city.

Richmond, Surrey, to Tasmania

My husband FIFO's and quickly reached Platinum One status for Qantas and Platinum for Virgin. As you say your points add up. I pay for everything rates, electricity , shopping by card (paying the card off every month /no interest) and they certainly accumulate. Perks, free upgrades, access into some stunning airport lounges, complimentary food and drink, it just makes travelling a bit more special.

Good luck with the move Bound4Tassie, google Evandale images, that will give you a good idea of what the town/village is like. I hope you are very happy in Tasmania.

Thank you Ali

It is a beautiful European town Jock, lovely European pubs,, bakeries etc. close by the airport, we love it. Have fun tomorrow a great market with wonderful fruit and veggies.

Hi Jock, A nice part of the world, I love the foreshore of Devonport, beautifully kept gardens! Nice to meet you. JJ

Hello Forum, I stumbled upon this site and see it is not predominately a migration site. I live in a small village near the airport in northern Tasmania, migrated here about 8 years ago. Currently in Indonesia . Nice to meet you all!
