Hello
Been about for a couple of months just picking up hint n tips and thought its time to say hello.
There's me, a plumber, OH full time mum to our 2yo little boy. Skills assessment came back approved from the TRA last week. We travelled oz in '99. and twice on holiday. Loved it from day one. Have our eye on Sydney over everywhere else. Now comes the visa app. Now also comes the chilly feet, cos were a family now. As much as i know its a good thing, the doubt is always there. Coming here usually gives me a boost to hear people cracking on, and have sworn not to look at the going home threads again!
I hope to chat with some of you over our adventure and hope not to bother too many of you with silly questions.

We want to move to WA.

You also have to do a description of everything you have done references etc etc.
