Yep we reckon we fit this bill, sold our house as we put our application in and the skills assessment came back ok along with all our belongings apart from some treasured books, cds, dvds and kids toys and moved into furnished rented house. Weve never been to Oz so dont know what to expect except from this web site and what our rels in Oz have told us, and when people look at me like I'm barking I tell them we want an adventure not just a house move, just sad that we cant be ten pound poms and do the whole 6 weeks or whatever on a ship with a load of other likeminded souls, but this web site does give us a sense of camaraderie. Have found out through t'internet that I can get Green and Blacks chocolate in Melbourne though (I do have some standards) :D . Call us rose tinted visioned poms but we dont care, Mel

a refreshingly blunt post, much after my own heart. I can't stand the fact the people go to a place and try to change it to suit what they want instead of going to a place and adapting to it. Take it as you find it.

Dont really understand why whether you are taking your own white goods or not means you're trying to change a place - surely once you're there and fitting in with the way of life / mixing with the "natives" this is more important?

I cant understand, for instance, that family on Place Down Under who moved from Wales to Melbourne, then socialised purely with other Welsh Expats! :confused:

My nine year old son and I were discussing the other day what we would take to Aus. when and If we get our visa (family of 5)..All he is taking is his (mine) XBOX and all I could think of was my swiss army penknife and my new wind up radio...!!!!! BRING IT ON.....

Re: any boll**ks
 

i s'pose you could say that by taking the opinion that the white goods you have in the UK are better than those in Aus could be deemed as a bit barmy and perhaps you should get rid, minimalise and go with whatever you can afford in the country you are going to make your home. Incidentally, I really don't take the opinion that white goods are better in the UK. They are just different, that's all.
