Sold the house today!!!! Now where should we head....
Ok, sold the house may be too strong a phrase but we have certainly accepted an offer after nearly 6 months!!!!!!!!
I've not really posted much in the last few months as kind of lost all hope in ever getting to Oz, but just goes to show you never know whats around the corner...
Now I could do with some good advice and tips please :
We got our visas in July and we are hoping to head out in March 06, with hubby and 2 kids, at last!!!! :scared:
We are hopefully heading for the Gold Coast but still really not made our mind up at all and now is the time for serious research Property prices are a major factor as we are not going with a huge amount of cash compared to may people on this site and job availability is another concern, I work in education and hubby is a joiner.
I would really welcome any advice on where to start, a rental organised from this end or Oz? Bank accounts, can you get one in this country? Any practical advice please on anything would be greatly appreciated.
I've done a search but lots coming up is some months old and I was hoping to get some totally up to date help.
Thanks a lot, Donna xxx

there are also a good few on here who left for aus with very little money and settled very well. I know that at HSBC and yorkshire banks, you can open accounts here for aus.
if you havent already been on it, ourbribane.com is a fantastic site with tons of info that should keep you busy for a while.
good luck
