Never give up. You will always be wondering what if otherwise. Try, Try and Try again.

NO WAY
You have just done all the hard work getting your TRa SENT OFF!
To be honest it is stressfull and confusing you will have days of wondering if its what you want but i think its all part of the process!!
Check out some of my past threads you will probably see i felt exactly the same!!
Its being on here with people going through the same ups and downs that gives me the kick up the arse i sometimes need!!

Be happy

Never give up if you want this, you will always wonder what if!
I nearly gave up so many times, my husband kept my spirits up and he was right, so glad now that i kept going , the most stressful thing i have ever done. We are all here for you, Denise

Believe it or not you will soon forget all this stress and even laugh about all the sleep you've lost etc etc. It's worth it.....and that's not thru rose coloured specs, it's just a great adventure!!!

We moved here in January and for 3 days prior to getting the visa I didn't sleep and was like a zombie sat on this site thinking I was insane for ever applying.....personally I would go thru it all agian if this was the outcome. What you feel is normal, it's a big step but a great one!!

Dont give up Robos but none of us can tell you if its worth it you will just have to come over and find out for yourself. Keep ducking and diving and the day will come.

It's like they say when you have a baby you forget the pain.... I've already got over the months of miserable waiting and wondering "are we going or arent we"?

We had several times when just felt we'd had enough and wanted to give up, but good things come to those that wait...

Yes, definitely give it a go, it's worth it, Oz is a great country.

The key point I'd make is to ensure you pick the right place to move to in Oz, as the consequences of a wrong call on that aren't good. If you are single, then you can just move on, but if you have the full family/children/house thing then it's not so easy.

I have my own view on where to move, and of the 8 state capitals I rate 4: however, that's only my view for my circumstances.

Do your research.
