I challenge anyone to read through this entire thread from start to finish, as I just have done (spurred by a kind of morbid fascination), and not feel depressed at the end of it!

Guest lizzy Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hi Where u live a pound is a pound, a euro a euro, a dollar a dollar, i think people think they are going over their to make huge amount of monies, but this is not the case, basically u r going over for a better quality of life, espcially if you have kids, and i know not all area,s but a lot of area,s you will get more house for ur money than in the uk, but dont think you are going to go over and become rich, it dont happen. you do really need to do your research on the area u r going to, especially if you are looking for a specific job or trade that u r in, also schooling some area u will pay for schooling which if like me u have 3 kids, aint gonna be cheap, also what sort of climate u want to live in, as it really varies, and can make all the difference to ur life out their. lizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluzee Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 They say home is where the heart is !! if your heart is in the UK then you'll always want to go back. The cure is sometimes all you need, when I say this I mean a holiday in the UK. Then come back to Aus. if you still feel the same then return to the Uk. So many get homesick & go back, then regret being back & want to live in Aus again, only they can't as they didn't fullfil the visa criteria. The money you spend on your holiday may seem alot but its nothing at all really if you can find out where your heart really is. A little thought & waying up the pros & cons is aalways helpful. good luck guys whatever you deside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zambezi15 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Lets see the lighter side of this. Maybe Immigration selection should be through Gene Pool, to ascertain if you have the Immigrant Gene. Checking if any ancestors travelled or worked in any of the Old British empire Colonies. On 2nd thought maybe not, that gene pool is already in Oz, USA, Africa as many preferred not to go back home. :biglaugh: England is just as expensive, ignore what the goverment says, most food prices have gone up 45%, gas prices are over the top,external house designs are still as unimaginitive, and wow its rained all year, with dull grey skies. :chatterbox: Hospitals are riddled with e-coli and MRSA If this is the place for you, and you are just not up to making the effort to adjust to Oz, then do something about it and get on the plane and come home.

Research as many web sites as you can find. I've lived in Perth 9 yrs & love it, I lived in Brissy 6 months & hated it, I went to England for a 4 week holiday & couldn't wait to get back home to Perth. I've never looked back in 9 yrs, I have had 1 trip back & that was to see my brother get married June just gone. Sure I miss my friends & family, but they all come for hols & I have made new friends. The internet & telephone keep us intouch. But you'll find as you live appart you grow & become yourself, your not living for your family, brothers, sisters,parents, your living for yourself & your Wife/children.

Guest YellowGecko Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Having spent many occasions in NHS A&E depts and on wards and also in Oz, I have so far found the hospitals here to be cleaner. Ok, I mean the Gold Coast Hospital, really, as that's the only one I have stayed in, here. I liked the fact the bed didn't have someone else's blood all over it and the fact the cleaner mopped the entire floor in the ward.. not just parts of. I also liked the fact a dirty, used syringe (used on someone else) wasn't left on my bedside table for a whole day, with all the nurses ignoring it. I was dumbfounded. At the end of the day, I pointed it out to a nurse who did remove it, finally. One thing that scared me, though, was a young Asian doctor (not long been qualified), who tried taking a blood sample from my arm. SHE WAS SHAKING WITH NERVES!!!!! She completely cocked it up and tried several attempts, leaving both arms black and blue. When I asked her "Have you been qualified very long?" she shook even more. The GC hospital also does all its own catering at the hospital and they do serve up some really nice nosh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest caznik Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I lived in melbourne for ten years and came back to the u.k. with my 4 kids and hubby, mainly because I missed my family. The trueth is I would go back to oz today if it was possible, but I have come to realize that if you allow it, there will always be a reason to stop you returning to oz. comes down to prioritise. life is what you make of it, sometimes you have to be a little bit selfish to get what you want, so be sure what you want and go get it. its not a rehersal. carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
