Re: Ok How did you find this site????
i found it by accident and the last twelve months have shown me all the reasons why were now not probably not moving to Auz. Have learnt loads of stuff, but also found some of it a bit clicky and mainly a chat room. Sift through that and theres some great information posts here and discussions. Dont get me wrong, im not complaining that a lot i have learnt is negative, i needed to know before i committed myself, so for that reason i thank Expats. A very useful resource. but for me, alas, the prospect of bad paid jobs, expensive housing, expensive everything, Medicare, no maternity, no free banking, Hooligans, etc have change my mind. But thats my case, i have a good std of living here, for many im sure Auz will be a great move. Oh and the weather, you got me there, but I love the rain and cold wind

Unfortunately by the time I found it I had already moved from Scotland to Aus.
Even so Ive met some great friends through it & more to come I suspect.

G'day... G'google...
I was looking for info on the 163 business visa and - hey presto - found all the info I could ever need here.
Now I spend my nights trawling the web picking up stray 163'ers and indoctrinating them into our society....
No guv, we're not a cult... honest...
Thanks Expats.

Heard about BE on AdBrits
Was wondering how people managed years ago without the internet, and without the help and support we all take for granted as a member of these forums ?
