Leaning slowly to going
Hi all
Well having put in on the backburner for a while I have more recently leaned stronger and stronger to going to Australia
I'm studying away for both IT qualifications as well as equestrian ones so that the chances of my getting a job if I go would be better.
I've set a target for myself of applying this time 12 months should I decide to go ahead as I would have more the sufficient funds by then. In the meantime I want to research all of the pros and cons of the main cities to see which would be suitable for me.
I suspect I'll have my nose in a book until the moment I step on the plane
I'm also looking to see ALL the good and bad points of going down under and hopefully avoid some of the pitfalls. Despite living here in Dublin I have'nt put down roots here which would make it a little easier to make a decision as to where would be right for me.
Expect me to be regularly here from now on with 1001 questions !!

Brissie - my "home" city so to speak. OK I was born and brought up in Grafton but 75% of rellies live in Brisbane, so ..... Nice city, but a bit humid. If we hadn't had a family fallout I would maybe have moved here.
Sydney - a few rellies live here but you couldnt pay me enough ....... (nothing to do with the rellies though)
Melbourne - even worse than sydney ! and have you seen the weather (I may be biased here cos visited Melb when I was 11 and it was the first time I saw sleet (altho I thought it was snow at the time)
)Perth - been living here for a year and love it, so am def biased
