Hi, we are still in the UK. We have our flights booked for the first week of May so less than 4 weeks to go for it to become real ! We are flying from Edinburgh. Toowoomba is our final destination as well. Hopefully see you there. How are your preparations coming along?

Thank you @starlight7 @Marisawright for replying. Visa hopefully should not be an issue as the company will be sponsoring us. At the moment our concern is how it will be for our preteen son. I read in another forum that there isn’t much for teenagers to do and that is what is giving me some cause for worry . My son is a sensitive boy and doesn’t mix that easily. I worry that he might be the one who finds it the most difficult to adjust. The post I read was written by a teenager hence the worry that my son would struggle the most if there’s not much to do. Especially as we are coming from Glasgow which is more than 3times bigger in population than Toowoomba. Hopefully forum users from Toowoomba will be able to give me a better idea of the lifestyle and options for teenagers. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Hello all I have read the previous forum discussions about life in Toowoomba with some interest as there is the opportunity for my husband to apply for a job in Toowoomba. We are a family of four with two kids aged 11 & 4. Some of the form discussions about life in Toowoomba are a few years old so I was hoping to get an updated view on how life is in Toowoomba especially related to education, opportunities for children, crime, weather and good areas to live in. We are in Scotland and if all goes through then we might be looking at a move in about 6 months or so. Thanks.
