Guest EvieB Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 For anyone interested, here is the link to the photos of our recent trip to Victoria. They are mostly of Mornington because we knew very quickly that we wanted to settle there. Our victoria trip: 14 - 29 August 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarlet mia Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Great post loved the pictures and thoughts you gave. Thanks for taking the time and sharing. Also loved your post about your reccie we are loving what we hear about Mornington and is one of our favorites but OH worries it may be harder for him to get a job so we are also thinking of Berwick. It,s just hard to know as we have never been. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest katymary1 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hi, We too love Mornington! We visited my famil in Melbourne nearly two years ago and fell inlove with that area?? We also liked Lorne and Torquay (we live in Torquay) UK, so went there for a nosey!!! We have a job sponsor for 457 visa and have employed an Agent who I have to say is dragging their feet?? We are debating whether or not we change as desperate to get out there?? Would love to keep in touch and wish you well with your application X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EvieB Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Thanks for your kind words, everyone. Scarlet Mia, what does your OH do? We were also worried about the work situation in Mornington which is why we were also considering Geelong. In fact, Mornington proved to be a much bigger town than we realised and Frankston isn't far. Of course, it depends on what job you do, but we were pleasantly surprised. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. I meant to say that before but just as I was posting last night the phone went and I ended the post a bit abruptly!

Guest mollyb Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi, that was a great read! we hope to be in Mornington/Mount Martha next year. We don`t intend to visit before hand either, so great to see your photies and how positive you are about the place. Lesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlet mia Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi EvieB My husband is a sheet metal worker we have googled sheet metal factories and there didn,t seem to be many around the Mornington area. Although we are lead to believe there are many jobs of this kind available so hopefully it could work out. Thanks for the reply x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tam-and-Andi Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hi evieb, Thanks for sharing all your lovely photos with us. Its really nice to see where we are planning on heading to. We have never been to OZ, and through process of illimination (not sure if thats how its spealt) we have chosen Mornington as the place to head for. Thanks again.

Guest EvieB Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Wise choice, Andi! I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't have to work in the CBD. I know not all places suit everyone, but it really is difficult to find fault with it. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X Hi EvieB, Thanks, we are really lucky also, as OH has managed to get a job offer there, well the main building is anyway, I think they have to travel places once they have list of days jobs, but we have been really lucky, thankfully. So any more info, you feel like sharing would be greatly appreciated. We have two daughters 8 and 4. What stage are you at? Thanks again Andi.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EvieB Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hi Andi, my OH has his electrician's Vetasses practical at the end of October so we are still some way off. We are planning on 18 months to two years before we actually go. What does your OH do? When are you going? I've been talking to my sister who lives in Melbourne today, and looking at the photos. It makes me feel very impatient! We will go for a visit again next year, probably to validate our visas but it seems ages away at the moment. I know we are lucky to be able to visit in the meantime but in some ways it makes it harder when you have to come home each time. If you can think of any questions, fire away. We don't have children to consider so not much help on schools etc I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam-and-Andi Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hi EvieB, First of all, good luck to your OH with his practical at the end of October. My OH is a Carpenter, and we would love to go as soon as we can really, just like everyone else I suppose. Our online visa has just been lodged this month, so just have to sit tight, nothing else for it really. If I think of anything I will give you a shout if the offer still stands. Take care, and hope to keep in touch. Andi. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stue116 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Wow, evieB, I remember talking to you early on in the year i think it was, coz we live in hertfordshire and want to live in mornington too. Your photo's are beautiful,and gave me a big lump in my throat as we had planned to travel there next sunday 19th Oct when i last spoke to you, but we have had to postpone because of all this pathway D trouble. We assumed by now that we would be well on the way through our vise process!!! It looks a gorgeous as i imagine. Thanks you Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
