Hi Tia - glad to know there's someone else out there who is new to this - I think I logged on on Monday night and can't keep away! Never knew something like this was happening and its so helpful AND comforting to know people are going throught eh same crap and headaches as yourself!

Where are you heading? How far along in the app are you? We are hoping for Syd or Melb and waiting the reply from TRA. Fingers crossed.....:scared:

Welcome to the site Kerry.

You're right it is addictive on here. Very helpful and informative too. Sometimes very funny.

Don't think too bad of yourself for not knowing where you are going. We had our visas granted in March and still don't know where to go - Perth or Brisbane we think. Are visiting to activate visas in July.
Hope things go well for you. What trades are you in?

Hi Kate

Hubby is a graphic designer - we don't kow if there is much about in Melb so may go for Sydney. Am reading up - its very very mad, deciding on a city in such a vast country. Don't want to be too out in the sticks - if only had pots and pots could travel country in style for 6 months to suss!!! No chance..

kerrylm

Lucky you! Your sorted!!! did you use an agency or do it yourself? What made you decide on Perth?

We did it ourselfs as we had done it before 11 years ago so we new what to expect but they were a bit stricter this time.Also my 2 sisters have lived there for over 20 years and i have visited them a few times since we lived there 11years ago and we still loved the place.Our last visit was 3yrs ago and thats what made us apply again,we havnt been to any other part of oz so i have nothin to compare it with but the weather is lovely,nice people,lovely beaches and my kids were happy there and of course my family.My sister said sydney and melbourne are similar to london here very busy and perth is more laid back...
