Would totally agree with this....we have learnt a lot from the experience and didn't want to be sat in the UK in a few years wishing we had tried something different.

BUT!....lost a lot of money, gave up a good job, caused a lot of stress to relatives and ourselves......and are now skint, and finding it hard to settle back here!!!!

We're still waiting to be told to go for our medicals but....

I'm not worried at all even though I've never been to Oz

I'm not worried about getting a job, moving home, leaving friends & family behind, getting paid less money...................anything really.

I'm looking forward to the great weather, outdoor activities, discovering a new country & having a more laid back way of life rather than the stupid keeping up with the Jones' mentality of this cold & overpriced little rock.
