Guest Sharon & Mark Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hi....from my experience, it is a difficult making the move with older children. My eldest 2 daughters will have finished 'A' levels and my youngest her GCSE'S......at some time or other 1 of my daughters decides that they dont want to come....my eldest 2 daughters its boyfriends and friends and the fact they are both to start uni in Sept and with my youngest it has been the thought of leaving her horse behind. Unbelievably, at the moment, the 3 of them are ok about going, hence the pressure to get this right for them. Its either all of us go or none of us go!

It has to be all or nothing for us. Sadly, i lost both my parents young, no grandparents alive etc. so if any of my daughters dont want to go we would have to stay in the uk. There would be no family support network for them and I could not bear that.....I do believe that all three of them will give it a go and we are so determined to make this work. I hope my daughters feel the same as yours did...that would be bliss. How old are your children? Did your 17 year old go into oz education.....if so how did they find it?

Guest Sharon & Mark Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hi! Thanks Lesley, that would be very much appreciated... Will be making the move as soon as we get our visa.....can't wait! We were hoping to be there around Aug-Sept but with the way things are going, may be the end of the year. Our 175 visa application went in at the end of Dec. I hear that some are getting their visas granted around 7months and others it is taking about 12 months. Just playing the waiting game...we are on the csl, Mark is an electrician.

Thought this would be a good place to start with the girls...plenty to do etc. Depending on how things go, may then decide to move to Jimboomba area as my dauhgter wants a horse, so will need a bit of land. Are there any stables in the gold coast area or do you have to move more inland....any other areas you reccommend worth looking at?
