Re: Return to Oz and scared to death!
Thoughts go out to you too.
We have just put the house on the market (got a viewing tonight) with plans on going back next year. I think we probably did it wrong last time you know panicked and all that.
I think once you get back in the UK the reasons for not wanting to be here come rushing back and this cooler weather don't help either. You are not the first and most certainly won't be the last, good luck and like everyone else is saying ......enjoy the experience!!

Re: Return to Oz and scared to death!
I can so sympathize with the grass is greener syndrome. Myself and my husband have come to the UK from South Africa, gone back to South Africa, returned to the UK, and now wondering where next (very likely Australia) - is that a stupid thing to do?
I wonder sometimes if we will ever settle? However I am glad to see I am not the only one with this dilemma...

Re: Return to Oz and scared to death!
I am sat here in my lounge while my stuff is being packed up! Feeling really strange, not sure why? Is anyone else feeling the same?
I have lived in Australia before for 5 years, been back in the UK for a year because we missed it, now we are heading back. Feeling really guilty for leaving family behind, even though we havn't seen much of anyone.
I know the reasons we are going, but struggling to remember them, why is it that you suffer memory loss when u need it most? Is it the stress? It must be.
Feeling pretty sad, not excited!
We should be flying to Brisbane in about a week, not booked the flights yet! So unorganised I know!
Any thoughts would be appreciated, feel really wierd today!
