1st WEEK IN OZ
Hi Everyone, well this has been quite a week. We arrived in Melbourne last saturday ( 19th aug), I found myself a job on Monday started work on Wednesday & got paid on the FRIDAY 
.
Obviously it's early days but things seem to be going great. My sister, who we're staying with has been treating us like royalty. She's said that we're not allowed to rent & that we have to stay with her till' we can get a mortgage & buy our own house, how blessed are we!
Were hoping to enrole our eldest son in college next week ,he's loving it, my wife loves it & my youngest son is having a ball as well.
I was always going to embrace our new life down under because I knew more or less what I was getting into, but the fact that my wife & kids are enjoying it makes me feel like I've won the lottery.
I have to pinch myself at times because it's all going so well, as I said we've only been here a week but we've been due a bit of good fortune after all the hiccups we had with the visa process ,once again good luck to all trying to get a visa & thanks to all who helped us get ours best wishes from Pete & family
