Re: IM BRITISH GET ME OUT OF HERE
Its a pity then that you havent got something a bit more postive to add to the thread
Hopefully our new friends to the forum are out there, finding themselves somewhere better to stay, whilst they begin their exciting adventure in this great country .
Jet lag, being sick. and anti climax can be very unsettling.
Hurry back and hopefully we can hear that things have improved greatly for you, a few good nights sleep will help as well, you will get there

Episode 1. I will try to control my self and not be to negative for others but this is my space and my expression time. Hi all arrived 23rd April 2007. Me me Husband and 4 Children 17, 13, 9, 4. Got of plane in Perth WA, we booked in Motel in canning. Very big mistake one bedroom loads of money no space and all came down with virus which made our flight not good as well. 8 cases up flights of stairs to doom room I wanted to go home at that point, cryed and cryed went to bed children sad Husband feeling like its all his fault. Any way next day doctors for all paid out first lot of never ending pay out. Then got medi card sorted in Perth so we could get back some cash. things could only get better we thought. Wait for next episode if you dare. Got to go and dish up tea for family ( I am still here in WA with family).

8 suitcases up a staircase.
Christ, how did you ever pass something hard like a driving test?

It's true though, if you've amassed 8000 posts over several accounts over 4 years it's easy to know the form.
At least the post was original.

Why is no assistance in place to make peoples landings here a little softer ? Not asking for handouts for anyone, just some means of retaining our status as decent human being.

Re: IM BRITISH GET ME OUT OF HERE
The poor buggers who came out as 10 pound poms were picked up and transported to Nissan huts, they must have been hell in the summer and winter.
If the poms chose to go back within 2 years they had to pay for the fare to come here as well. Many couldnt hack it for the 2 years and paid up and went back. Some never left the hostels ( as they were called) before returning home.
Others got out of there as quickly as they could, and went on to bigger and better things, not saying that they never looked back though.
Some of our rellies lived in the hostels, they praised the fact that their food was supplied and they were given help with employment, schooling, everything. I do feel sorry for people who land here for the first time with no support and noone to turn to. We were lucky that we had family to stay with and show us the ropes. I suppose this forum is a bit of a substitute for the help provided in the past, we can give advice on getting started, and support and encouragement when things start to go a bit pear shaped

Re: IM BRITISH GET ME OUT OF HERE
I'm sleeping in a Ford Falcon Station Waggon. It's not too bad cos' I'm a single guy, but I still can't get over the shortage of available accomodation. I have a nice home in England and can appreciate the shock you must be in right now.

What do they want here ? A bunch of highly trained and educated people running around like headless chickens struggling to scrape together a civil existence until they find something better ? It's hard enough looking for a job without having to contend with day to day survival. I (and all other people who have to struggle when they get here) should be spending our time searching for suitable employment from day one, and the Ozzie government should have realised this. Surely the quicker people can gain employment and sort themselves out, the better it is for Australia ?

Re: IM BRITISH GET ME OUT OF HERE
That's all I need really, a little hut somewhere with a bed, somewhere to wash, and somewhere to cook and eat. This day and age in Australia,with the materials available to build quickly and cheaply, and plenty of land to utilise on a temporary basis, I can't believe that the Ozzie authorities haven't done anything whatsoever to help. I am in WA and the state is awash with money. I'd pay for the accomodation for Gods sake until I could move on.

Well i hope the OP and family have sorted things out. They may even be back in UK, hence why they haven't replied.
