only just been talking to my o/h and were both agred on moving to aus when financially sorted here 2 years i know its a long way till then but there are alot of things to do to prepare for a big move .I talked to some family members and mum and dad said go for it they will miss the kids but they know its a better life for us all,my sisters on the other hand said it was a bad idea and is trying to put me off .She said she knows a family who moved to aus and the people where nasty to them so they moved back home.From what iv heard on hear and other expat sites is that aus is great the people are nice. iv always thought the australians were freindley people.IS it just family trying to keep us here .?

is there much work there for qualified joiner/kitchen fitter?
and also my o/h has a national deploma in public services
any held would be gratefull thanks in advance

It's certainly not a given that life is better. Life here is the same in most of the ways that matter. Not trying to be negative , just realistic.
For me it has worked out well, others not so. Only one way to find out and it is costly on more than one level, especially if it doesn't work out.
Think long, think hard and think again.
Aus is great and the people are nice by the way
