Guest Guest9973 Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 So you are just having a walk in the park at the moment??? Kidding................. It's orrible but worth it. Once you get on that plane you'll be right.. I'm sat here now looking out at wall to wall sunshine over the sea,not bad for December:smile:
Guest koala12 Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Hi McT's. Take a deep breath and calm down!!! As one who has been there, done it, got the T shirt and been in Sydney for 15 months now I can categorically tell you it's all worth it!!!! Once you're on the 'plane and Oz-bound you'll be so excited (and sad too thinking of everyone you're leaving behind, but I won't dwell on that!) all the hard work, tears, stress, etc etc will just fade into the background and you'll be concentrating on your new life down under. All you're going through is just an unfortunate part of what needs to be done to get here......but I'm sure everyone else who is already down under will agree with me....it's so worth it!! Take care and enjoy Christmas..... Karen
The Broughtons Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 And take a nice deep breath... We're not in NSW, we're in Victoria but I can confirm that all the stress and aggro of getting here really is worth it. I love it here - the sunshine, the beach, the laid back lifestyle - well I'm certainly more laid back than I used to be! Your wobbles are perfectly normal behaviour for someone about to move to the other side of the world so keep visiting poms, share your worries with us and let us help you through this bit!

Guest The McT's Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 needed a bit of reassurance,,more logical today. Had meant to have a full day clearing out but oldest has managed to walk into a wall at school...just don't ask....so had to drop all to get him checked out. roll on summer.

This was me three weeks ago, I had major wobbles about doing it all by myself. Well, here I am in Melbourne, have found a house to rent, bought a car and a few basics like a fridge and an air mattress, and discovered how much easier things are here than in the UK. HONESTLY. Stuff gets done, people are nice and friendly and so welcoming. You'll be right, mate, as they say. And the weather even here in Melbourne is glorious. The last bit is definitely the worst, I thought I might die, what with the sadness and all the hassles, but hang on, it's true that about an hour after you're on the plane and no longer crying, a sense of adventure comes over you, and that carries you through the next exciting bit. Good luck!!
