just the beginning
hi there everyone
i'm new at this so please excuse.
Have got visa !! hurrah, skilled independant (my husband - he's a carpernter) and i'm a hairdresser We have 3 children 7,5. and 18 mths. We have to have the visa validated by april 2006- as in, step foot in the country which is what we're doing in feb. Flying into Sydney - out of melbourne hopefully travelling everywhere in a campervan. Has anyone got any information that may be useful? places to stay - jobs to look at - info on schools - campervans to hire!! Anyone emigrated recently with children and could give us any tips?
This has all happened so quickly since handing in our application (mar 05) after TRA that we are abit overwhelmed with it all many thanx
