Hi

I thought it might be a good idea for people here to say in very brief format where they are currently living in the UK and where they are moving to (or hope to move to!) in Oz, and maybe how far along they are, circumstances etc in order for people to maybe meet and chat with people in the same boat and who knows - possibly make new friends for life! So I will start us off
