Guest NIGEL Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi everyone yes i am new to the site, My Wife Karen and two sons Gareth aged 16 and Adam aged 13 on our way to Brisbane not sure whereabouts as yet, Just been told that my visa 136 has just been accepted should get it back in a weeks time the whole process has only taken 7months from start to finish which was great we did go with a migration team a bit costly but worth the no hassle. Still not sold the house been on market a few months hope it goes soon as it is delaying things It is all a bit scary as we have not been over to oz or have any family or friends over there.

Hope everything else runs smoothly Hi Koala K Thanks for the reply just read your introduction ,the oz life seems to suit you and your family. My eldest son is really looking forward to his new life (SURFING AND BEACH) but the younger one is still unsure as long as it gets him out in the fresh air and away from the playstation will be a good thing.

Guest ragner Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 G'day Well it looks like you have a very exciting time ahead of you.We have been here for 4 months and we live in a outer northern suburb of Brisbane and we love it.When we came out we knew nobody at all it was just me ,my wife and our 2 boys(14 and 12).Our youngest didn't want to come out here (Didn't want ot leave his mates)but once they got into school and met new mates they have really settled in and enjoying it,and nether of them want to go back.We live on the coast so they spend a lot of time on the beach or lagoon.Everyone we have met have been really helpful and friendly.So anyone that thinks it is scarey coming out here and not knowing anyone ,well it is but if you are prepared to socialise and merge with this way of life ,nobody in my oppinion will have a problem. To all that has and is getting their visa good luck and welcome to the sun. Cheers Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the price of rental property for a 3/4 bedroom house like :?: , hope you don't mind me asking it is so hard where to decide to go with never being over there. Currently getting quotes for shipping my belongings over to oz, 20ft container with Anglo-Pacific came in at £3,800. Brittania coming in the week, this is for the Manchester region and they seem to take 5weeks on the sea but you have to allow 6to8weeks but they go every Saturday which sounds good. Changed Estate Agents today see if they can do any better selling this flaming house :evil: . Kind Regards Karen Nigel Gaz and Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
