Hi, we are in Livingston, but used to live in Edinburgh, and hopefully heading for Perth. Kinda lost heart in the process just now, the waiting just for a CO is depressing . When we do get CO, that will be a different story . With all these scots going to melbourne thought we could be swayed!!!! There will always be someone to have a with eh?!

hi there,

noticed your thread asking about Frankston, i have a friend who lives in Mornington - its a lovely place, really nice, Frankston is ok for shops & stuff. We have been to oz twice and lived with a friend for the 3 weeks of both trips. Its a lovely place - my friend has 2 small kids & has no problems with nursery or schools at all. Nice place to live

cheers

Sounds great, Hubby has been back to work for 6 months now, we have not yet applied at any hospitals, but hubby did mention Frankston Hospital, are your sister and BIL nurse too?
Cheers Jac
Let us know how your meds go, will have everything X'd for you both, all will be well

we're in Perth. Have been for 2 years now.

Had no real problems with leaving the folks in Glasgow. No beating about the bush it was tearful leaving and still is when we have rellys and friends over and its time to take them to the international departures.

Have no intention of going back to the coldest of god's own country.
I'll settle for second best here in WA.

why melbourne? God help you if you join Bordy and his Essendon Scallywags

Thanks for that, that's good about schools, always a worry. Are you planning on going?

Sure will... when we eventually get there...sooo much to do

YES - VISA TYPE 138 (THE IT TAKES FOREVER VISA) APPLIED NOV 2005 WE HAVE NEVER HEARD A THING AFTER THE ACK LETTER. ITS REALLY ANNOYING - THATS US AT THE 5 MONTH MARK - WAS THINKING ABOUT FONING TO SEE IF WE HAD A CO YET ? !!!!!!! NO POINT IT WOULD JUST PUT ME IN A DOWNER

EVERYTHING IN YER LIFE SEEMS TO BE PUT ON HOLD - WAITING TO SEE IF THE VISA IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

WE HAVE A FEW FRIENDS & FAMILY LIVING IN OZ - BUT PERSONALLY I LIKED BRISBANE MALOOLABA ITS SUPERB!! BUT THAT WAS A HOLIDAY, ITS A DIFFERENT MATTER HAVING TO LIVE & WORK THERE.

I know...we have been at it for months (researching) and we are only at the first hurdle
Maybe you can send an email to see how your application is progressing....5 months is a long time to only have received an acknowlegement :scared: ..no requests for meds or PC yet?
good luck and hope you hear something soon

WEVE FRONTLOADED THE POLICE CHECKS & MEDS, BUT HAVENT HEARD A THING.

DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN?
WE HAVE 2 SON @ 21 YRS - DAUGHTER 17 YEARS
MY SON HAS SAID HE AINT GOING - HE LIKES THE THOUGHT OF SPENDING 6 MONTHS HERE THEN - OZ WHEN HES SKINT -

HAVE YOU PASSED YOUR TRA?

Hi.

Wife wants Melbourne cos it has 4 seasons. I'm milk bottle white and don't think too much sun would agree with me.

Nice to hear from people who are still over there as read lots of posts about unhappy people wanting to come home.

Hi.

We're only weeks into it but already getting frustrated.

Looking forward to with all these Scots.

Steve and Sha.

Don't believe that we don't get to much sun, we get plenty of 30 plus days & a handful of 40 plus days throughout summer.
Three months of Winter can be a bit dreich but the other 9 are great.

Wouldn't live anywhere else but Melbourne now.
