Re: Adelaide Hills etc
Hi we sent our 136 visa off last week and according to our DHL tracking it arrived at the Adeliade processing centre today so now the wait begins
, unfortunately we missed the cut off date before the fee increase but what the heck so long as we are accepted.
Me and the family OH 42 an engineer, me a 40 yr old nurse and 4 children who are 17, 14, 11 and 6 and we will be heading to Adelaide hopefully before the end of the year but that depends on the speed of the visa processing at the moment.
Considering the ages of the children and we need to get jobs, they (at least 3 of them)need good schools, where would people suggest we look for rental accomodation to begin with? The children are quite active, swimming,gymnastics etc and one daughter plays rugby at high level and they like a social circle of friends with things to do, rather a long wish list I know but thats what comes with having 4 children.
Any advise would be welcome
