No idea what to do about s/term accommodation when we arrive - On Arrival Accommodation seems a bit hit and miss.

We should have been flying out on 5 July - instead and I will now be stuck at work in the UK. Ho hum.

Still - the only things in life worth having are those you work for

All those going to Australia imminently - good luck - you sods!
That's awful, Hopefully things will change soon and the buyer of your dreams will turn up. We're just starting the whole house selling thing which I'm dreading. We only bought it 18 months ago so are likely to be losing money on it as well which is a bugger as we'll need all we can get but hey, if it just sells I'll be happy!
Good luck with finding a buyer

P.s can anyone tell me what this karma stuff is all about - I've sent you some but no idea what it is /does!!!

Thoughts with you

Good luck to all of you...

Just as a teaser.....

It's been a perfect winter day here today out in the Adelaide Hills. A little bit of rain earlier followed straight away by clear blue skies. Ideal for a gentle walk into the local town to buy groceries at the very old fashioned general store then back to feed the chickens.

This evening it's been cool enough to justify firing up the woodburner and open a bottle.

You've made the right choice - it's not bad out here.

Hiya MM

Long time no chat...

Yes, we're out at Meadows and both gainfully employed.

Loving every moment of it.

Thanks for all your tips over the last few years by the way - would be a pleasure to buy you a beer or two sometime...

Perry & Sarah

I don't mind looking stupid! Although as for an answer no-one seems to have come up with one yet so maybe it's an undefinable (sp?) quality. Let me know if you ever find out !

Keep at it and keep your expectations realistic... I'm sure that the reason we're having such a great time is that we didn't come here expecting too much, so everything that comes up roses brings a great feeling.

Yes, it's been a bit chilly - but nothing like back in the UK and the rain over the last few days has almost had people dancing in the streets.

Good luck to you all, keep it real...

BTW I'm not on the Expats board that much these days - living the dream reduces the amount of time that can be spent talking about it, but I'm always willing to help if I can. Feel free to stick me on your contact list - I may not see a post but I'll always respond to an an email or PM.
