Husband going on ENS. As most of the people we knew were in that area - thats where we had our reccie, thats where we (the royal we - i wont actually be being a Sheet Metal Worker!) got the job.....so that's where we are going.
We've warned the kids though that we'll be sitting on plastic chairs and sleeping on airbeds for a few years :scared: ....but .....(and its a j-lo)
we'll be able to go for walks on the beach!
Just hope they understand the trade-offs.
And like you - whos to say in a few years we can't move.
So again thanks for lettin me know.

Nice photos Soapy and Linda Lushadi really exciting scenery and even the motorway looked exciting! Sorry to hear you will be leaving Sydney Soapy as we were looking forwards to attending one of your meets, I hope they will continue.
I completely know what you mean about the living costs L-j, I was getting really excited about buying a house out there but worked out what the stamp duty would be for a family house and it would mean saving for an extra year at least just to afford that! But like you the trade-offs are well worth going out there for.

Have you tried the royal national park, you probably drove past the signs for it, thats a nice place as well.
Luv the lagoon for swimming.

your kids will settle down and forget the things they miss from the uk. doesnt take long, even with teen, well my lot anyway
