Hi
My husband and i came to oz end of dec06 with our 2 children, i studied hairdressing at TAFE...

we had (i say had) cos we are now back home in the uk...unfortunatley!!!
we had a brill time we sent the kids to school and had a wicked year.
We came home mainly for financial reasons, we really struggled with only being able to work 20 hours a week it is very,very hard to find an employer just for these hours.
the school fees we had to pay were killing us it cost us 16,000 for the year on top of the fees i had to pay for my course

all i can say is i wouldn't change the eperience we had for anything but i would advise people to think long and hard it is not a walk in the park.

we are home now and are applying from this end and feel we will get a better crack at the whip over there on the right visa.
This is just my personal experience DON'T let it put you off in anyway just do research before you go
