Re: MR AVERAGE
hi everyone
just a quick answer to my outlook on life in oz(if we get our PR granted).
i am a painter by trade and am normally up at 04.45 on average in morning for work(travel to london and surounding area a lot). then return by about 6 at night.from what i have read on BE oz work is similar.i have no problems with working these hours in oz.we are not looking to make our working life easier (would be nice if it were) just to give our children a better enviroment,but once they have grown up and moved on then enjoy our own time and slow down a bit.is this realistic?hope so as we coming over hopefully anyway!
any feedback greatfully taken onboard
thanks us 5

I think that your expectations are pretty reasonable. Another way to look at it might be - if we remain in the UK, will we be able to slow down a bit once the kids have moved out? If the answer is "yes", then I think that you'll be able to do the same over here.
Bear in mind though, that the costs of moving a family are significant... So you should spend a fair bit of time planning everything as best you can.
cheers

Re: MR AVERAGE
Painters serve an apprenticeship in Aus and a good painter is worth gold. Just try and find one.
Sitting behind a desk fiddling on a computer on forums and other things is not very productive.
Tradespeople make the world go round and we can live without computers but boy its difficult with a blocked loo, no electricity and no transport.
So Mr Average you can have a nice life here.
