Guest johnosinoz Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi Please bear with us - this is our fist posting although we have been viewing the (fab) site for the best part of a year!! We are a family of four, in receipt of our visas, hoping to head out to Brisbane or the Gold Coast in October. We have two rugby mad sons aged 13 and 10 and were wandering if anyone from the Soton area,with similar aged kids are headed in the same direction?

Guest johnosinoz Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi Thanks for your reply. What made you decide on Melbourne?? We have been looking into both areas but have been undecided so have gone for the area where there seems to have the most job opportunities. Its just such a big country!!!

Guest felixmeg Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi We're in Southampton, no kids just 3 cats! We're heading for Brisbane/GoldCoast area. We're off there in 2 weeks to validate our visas and have a good look around, then make a decision to when we'll make the big move. we cjose the area for job opportunities too as DH is an electrician & the area sounds like a building site at the moment.

KazzE Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi johnos We decided on Melbourne because that is where my sister ended up AND after visiting a couple of times we found we liked the city and general feel of the place etc and we have been to the Gold coast but we found it a wee bit hot for our liking. Jobs for both us seem to be better in Melbourne but I don't think either of us would have difficulty getting work in Brisbane, I am in childcare and hubby fixes frieght trains, welds, sprays paint and has various health and safety skills. that's the good thing about Australia, it's a big country lots of room for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
