We have only been in Oz for 5 months and are considering moving home. I am as happy here as I was in UK albeit in a worse ‘work/life’ balance job, however my husband is deeply unhappy here. He misses the social life we had, his family and misses enjoying his work (outdoors and really struggled with the heat here).
I also have 2 children (14,11) who would jump at the chance to return to UK. They had settled into school (pre covid-19) but don’t have any friends and miss their friends in UK loads.
We gave up everything to come here, have no savings (could just afford the move back) and would rely on staying with family for a long while before being able to re establish ourselves.
My biggest fear is that it’s just been bad timing but due to only being here on a temp visa we couldn’t return and the chance at Australian life would be over.
All opinions gratefully received
