First off welcome to the site. I origionally came across it by accident and I must say its the best thing I did. It has helped us with the visa process and also I have made many friends here as well.

Congratulations on getting your visa as well. Thats the best Xmas present you could ask for.

Like you we have never been to Oz before and are flying out on the 6th Feb to Perth - One Way :scared:

Hi Lynee and Dal3

Don't worry we'd never been to Oz before stepping on the plane to come here to live but then again me and the kids had never been abroad so it was all new. We're on the other side so don't know what Perth is like and haven't seen much of Brissy. The only thing I would say is get ready for seeing all wierd and wonderful sights and that's just the locals

it took us 2 years to decide 1 year to get all our academic paperwork updated, validated and then approx 1 year to actually get the visa, so once we decided and got the ball rolling it took 2 years overall, but were not in a hurry as saving as much as we can as job wise will be back t basic for us once we move

Hi all were new to the site also. just thought i would say hello. Were cuurently in the waiting for a case officer part of the visa. Nobody can prepare you for how agonising that part actually is. Were heading off to perth. Why does everyone refer to perth as isolated it's a huge city!! With loads of suburbs, beaches and shopping malls what more could you ask for? Any way rammbled on enough speak soon justine

Perth is considered isolated because it is a very long drive/flight to any other city. There are other smaller cities in WA, but in order to go anywhere else it is a long distance. On the east coast things are all within an hour or so flying distance.
