If you could turn the clock back!
If you knew what you know now, would you still emigrate?
I'm just curious of other peoples thoughts.
I have been here 11 months now, still not sure how i feel, a bit like being in no mans land at the moment.

Probably not. Not that I don't like it here, but it is a can of worm's that I wish I had never opened and it feels like being on a rollercoaster. Dying to go back to UK on holiday, but scared I won't want to come back !

Re: If you could turn the clock back!
I dont think I have been here long enough to know, but so far I have no regrets at all, although I must say I really didnt think I would be one of those whinging poms moaning about the aussie tv, but my god ITS SOOOOO BAD! And aussie big brother dont even get me started.
Also had very strange feelings of nostalgia watching the travel show tonight in Mumble and Temby (not sure if thats how its spelt) and I have never even been there.
But no I love Aus and so does my husband.

They both look great from afar, but believe me when there are mass brawls most weekends (during the daytime) from Stag/Hen trips when I'm trying to take my little girls for a walk, it can run a bit thin ! Hang in there !!!!!
