On Our Way
Sooooo excited but slightly nervous too as there seems to be so much to do!
I saw a post on here about six months ago which gave a Things to Do list which looked really helpful but I can't seem to find the link to it now can anyone point me in the right direction please?

This one is geared to the US but contains lots of stuff you might do before you leave. It's from the wiki section:

Re: On Our Way
Good luck Elizabeth! ... and welcome to Oz! You may have days where you get homesick for anything from home, but try to remember..... you have to give it a go to know if the grass is greener on the otherside! Enjoy!

Re: On Our Way
Good luck and enjoy the trip.
Welcome to Oz and remember 3 important things;
1. Try before you buy (e.g. rent in a suburb before you buy a house there)
2. They do not speak the same language, it looks the same but they have their own idiosyncrasies.
3. Never use the phrase "Yes but back in the UK..." it never helps your argument!
