My brother is in Strathpine, just north of Brisbane.

Not sure on the house selling front. We really need the money to buy a property in Oz. We would consider renting as we've done it before, but it's not a long term solution for us.

We are just hoping that someone will come along soon. Because we are doing the validation visit in August we have five years to go so in theory we can wait until it is sold. However I'm having trouble holding him indoors down until we go already so lord knows what he'll be like by December.

Good luck with your plans.

Hi, thanks very much, Are you nervous atall about leaving yet? What are you going to do for a living when you get there? It is all very exciting. We only sent our application off about a month ago so we are still in the early stages but we are hoping to go to Toowoomba in Queensland. I am so scared and excited at the same time, we have ages to wait yet but its not lon for you now.

I know what you mean, good luck to you

Hi there, me and Matt are from Bradford, (but we consider Manchester our adopted city, we both did uni there). We are 25/26 and are moving to Brisbane on April 25th. We've just had our last weekend out in Manchester. We went out to the Gurka Grill on Burton Road (West Didsbury, where we used to live) and the Music Box on Oxford Road.
I'm an Aussie permanent Resident, and Matt has been over to Oz before, and now he's emigrating.
Good Luck with your move!

Hi
Yeah, we used to drink in the Met and the Woodstock - when we felt flush! We lived inbetween them on Burton Road. A lot of the restaurants changed down there haven't they? When I lived there it was Felix and Cachumba... Gurka Grill is v. nice though! If we were staying in the UK, I would like to move back to West Didsbury.

Hi, we have never been to Oz before and we will not be going until it is time for us to go and live there. Not long to go now then for you. Do you still have family there? I hope you have a great life there and good luck with the move.
