Hi Lynn, were fom ashbury, near kilmaine primary off the ring road. Its small world. Good to hear from you. Thinking of heading to Perth, originally thought of sydney but need to go where electronics jobs are at mo. Do you miss very much -apart fom the family? its a big undertaking but if we don't do it now we never will I think. Did everything go to plan for you all when you got there?

Hi Lynn, no kiddies yet. maybe in a few years though. works not great anywhere at mo. but at least youve got something and ur all happy. im working but am looking for new job here too while we get some money together to get behind us before applying. if i could i 'd do it 2moro, but just in case need the money in the bank. and a bit of time to get house sorted. did u use an agent? R you renting or have you bought a house just yet?

Hi Andrea, good to hear from you. small world eh? great youve started the process. where r u headn? were keen on perth, mainly cos of engineering for OH. Just hope there are jobs out there. Its a big step. Is your 175 going well? have heard quite a few people are changing their 175 to 176 because of delay in processing?

Hopefully heading to Melbourne I have a brother and sister there. Have tried for State sponsorship but OH occupation isnt on the list, so we will just have to wait it out or consider another state. On a positive note maybe by the time they start to process 175 not on CSL, the house prices may have risen again.
