pablo Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 HiI 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!

Been to Oz before? Yes 7 times, been all over! From Liverpool,going to Victor Harbor South Australia,where everyones ninety ten years old,but its time for a wind down now,burnt the candle for waaAAAAY too long to be respectable,so quiet is what we want now,been there to validate,and not disappointed at all,theres "enough" there for us/me,few pubs,pictures etc,so it will do for us,IF we ever sell the house that is! Visa type,the old PR 136 bricklayer,had it since july 08,only got till july 2013 to get over there,so counting down...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
