Hi Mary, You've probably posted the answer to this question somewhere but what date do you fly? Were going 14 Nov but it will be return trip cos we haven't had any luck selling the house :(

Sorry to hear you've not had any luck with the house - have you tried using another agent?

We have been here for 3 years - and have qualified for citizenship today!!

Love it here... but we struggle when meeting another brit (which isn't often) its really wierd, run out of conversation in 3 minutes!

With most aussies (there are some exemptions) they seem to ramble enough for you to enjoy the company.

I`m not getting at anyone I hope, just an observation.

Actually our best mates moved from uk to just up the road - we don't really have much in common anymore - shame.
