Ha - we flip between saying if / when. Don't want to tempt fate by saying when but want to be optimistic and plan for our move to Oz.
Being welsh - there is also the joke that I need a passport to get out of Wales!
Done that an moved to Hampshire - surely only a little further to Oz?!

Re: Who's heading to Qld 2010?
We move into our rented house tomorrow. we complete on Wednesday, Managed to sell to cash buyers within 6 weeks all done and dusted. Its all a bit too early for us........we thought put the house up for sale and it will be a few months before we have to think about moving. we sold to the first couple that came along.
Any way we are heading for Brisbane way at the very end of 2010. It will depend on where my wife gets a job. We have state sponsorship and my wife has an ANMC skills assessment and QLD nurse registration. We cant actually apply for our visa till next week as my wife is newly qualified and completes her years experience next week. She started a new job on a surgical ward today as she was advised that this would give her more scope when we get there.

Re: Who's heading to Qld 2010?
Plenty of shopping ot be had in Brisbane (if that really floats your boat):
Lets compare
Basingstoke Centre: Shopping area 102,000m2 (Festival PLace)
Brisbane (pick one suburb) - Chermside: Shopping area 123,000m2
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_Place
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westfield_Chermside
Of course theres no accounting for quality or value in this comparison

DadAgain,
What's Kenmore like seeing that you are close by?
What's Kenmore High School like and how long is the commute to the University in St. Lucia?

We will be heading out spring 2010 to the Gold Coast, not decided as yet whereabouts, but most probably Robina or (I would love) Mount Tamborine.
It would certainly be good to meet up with you guys, so add me to the list!
Good luck to everyone
