We are hoping to leave end of Oct, will have made definite plans by the end of today if I get my way OH being rather slow at the mo!
We are also thinking of a few nights in Singapore & Sydney en route. Think I will need a holiday by then!
Do you have jobs lined up? What areas are you looking to live in?
I was thinking possibly Redlynch as the school sounds good but am going with an open mind until we see for ourselves.

rachaey

hi, we are also looking at redlych because of the school we have 3 little ones, i also like kewwara beach and trinity beach but gonna see when we get there, i have a job on the childrens ward at the base hospital i start end of jan, hubby not got one yet he is a plant operator and he is hoping to get in the mines,just sold our house and living with my parents
cheers rach

Sally Simpson

Living with the parents....very brave!

And lucky you as you will have almost 2 months to get settled before starting work. I am hoping to push starting to the end of Nov as otherwise I think it will be really tiring. It's exciting isn't it?

rachaey

yes we are all very excited but also dreading the goodbyes i am very close to mr parents although they might be glad to see me go by then 7 people in a 3 bedroom can be tense at times, are you at the hospital, what ward are you going on
cheers rach

Just wanted to say how jealous I am of all you lucky people moving to Cairns, it's a lovely place and if hubby didn't have to find work (hes in IT) then it would be the place we'd move to without a doubt

Good luck everyone

Thanks Lindsay! Wish you were going there too, we could have been diet buddies

desperatehousewife

Hi rachaey

A meet up round Christmas for all the new arrivals would be good! I've done the last few so hope someone else will take it on next time!

You are arriving just b4 Christmas so I thought I would tell you abt the fantastic FREE firework display on New Years Eve on the Esplanade - we love it! One at abt 9 (for the kids) then another at midnight how good is that!

Take care
Gill

Sally Simpson

That sounds great Gill

Bix da Boss

We'll see what we can do then eh No doubt, I will end up organising it again!!

Or did you mean the fireworks

wardy2

bugger I miss everything. how did the interview go SC we had a thread wishing you good luck we are all waiting to hear

Kaye

Sally Simpson

Both actually! Really looking forward to meeting everyone, will be nice to put faces to names

All went well & they have e-mailed for references. I feel really excited about working there & having a change of speciality. They will meet us at the airport & have offered 2 weeks accomodation which is such a help.
Can't wait to go now, pity we have to pack up our house & say all those goodbyes

wardy2

thats great news, I will keep my fingers crossed it all works out for you.

goodbyes are the worst
