hi just wondering how many people moved or are moving to aus without visiting?

if you do a quick search, last week there was a thread, and there have been a couple of polls in the past as well.

There are plenty that went "blind"

I've been only briefly, the rest of the family have never been.

this one for example :

Hi,

We moved to Australia 19months ago, from the UK without ever visiting. The only time i had been on a plane was to go to italy in 2004!!

We were lucky that we had a relocation package, so were in a hotel until we found a rental.

Still scary, to start with.
