12 months in oz
I am going to oz for 12 months in a few weeks time i think i have everything i would need with me or might need while there can anyone recommend must haves and anything else i should sort out etc.
as im sure when i go away there will be something i have missed out.
also as the time is near to going i am getting a little nervous as to if i am doing the right thing or not haveing time out there for a year, i have already give my notice for my job and will stop this friday the following week i am away.
im not sure if i have done the right thing here but i dont get many people saying they wished they had not, i am 32 on my next birthday and still single so looking to check out the place to see if its somewhere i can live and maybe move back there one day.
who knows maybe i will meet that lady thats missing in my life and not want to come back home.
can anyone tell me there thoughts when they went over for 12 months on a working visa.

Good for you for being so brave!
I hope u meet the woman of your dreams and have a great time out there, its amazing how many people in their 30s are reassessing their life and doing something totally different (OI'm 35 so an old bint!!)

Hey if you dont do it you will regret it , so go for it . Pauls mate at work came out the same as you , and he applied from this end , didnt think he would even qualify , he did and is still here 8 yrs on . Life is to short , we all wonder if we have done the right thing , but i think you have to be positive go for it , dont look back . Good luck .

You have little to lose and plenty to gain from your trip. You are right in that it does not work out for everyone but the footloose and fancy free seem to have a ball out here.
Bundy is another poster who met an Aussie on her WHV and is in the process of going back.
At the end of the day you are highly likely to enjoy yourself even if you do not decide to settle.

Moving back to Blighty for a couple of years in March 2004 as I never intended to stay in Oz forever, love being a Citizen of the world.
Go with what you feel, take every opportunity in life and enjoy!
Best wishes

PS I am 34 this year so never too old to move around and see the world! The world is full of fab people and maybe that special lady.
