Newish to site
 
Hi all, :D
We are sort of newish to this site, having last visited the site briefly Aug last year. So hello to you all. We are in the final stages of our visa and are looking to settle in Tas. We had our medicals last week & it all seemed to go well, with not too much prodding, poking or stripping (thank god!!) Fingers crossed our blood & x-rays results go just as well. Have read lots of threads today some I have to say have scared the c**p out of me re; the lovely creepy crawly things that thrive in Oz, But I have come to the conclusion us Brits are fascinated & obsessed by the things, as we have none! (well apart from the adder) Not sure I like to see pic's of them though! Out of site out of mind Eh!!:unsure:
Great reading your thought's on all Oz matters though!
Ta for now
