I think once New Year starts we should have a Poms in Tassie meet, Even if we do this every couple of months and choose different locations.
Could even meet up at a Ski resort in Winter and have a Poms Ski meet in Oz!!! :rofl: If people want to come upto Launceston know a lovely pub we could meet up at. Even if we have one in Hobart then one in Launceston, It's a lovely place and gets people out and about!!!! Would love to meet some of you nice people. Regards Gary and Vikky |

Re: Tasmania??
Just been in touch with the Tas Government (again) who offer all sorts of assistance to help us with migrating there!!!! :thumbsup: Really hoping to get the 'On Arrival' service.....especially with 6 of us!!!
Forwarded an up-to-date resume to them (as requested) and hope we hear some news regarding possible employment. Going to have a major sort out in the house over the week or two.......put photos in albums etc.........have to do something while we wait for a viewing :( Think we will be using 'Pickfords' as our shippers..... I JUST WANT TO GET TO TAS ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Beth x x :wub: |

Just being home for a few weeks following our trip and realising that although i love people here - i absolutely detest the area that we live in...... I cannot believe that i now feel this way having spent my 37 years in roughly the same area.... funny how having kids can completely change your outlook on things isn't it? Anyway, we had an ok Christmas in the end....was glad to get into work yesterday to escape the house and any relatives for a few hours!!!! I think i can safely say that we have possibly spent our last Christmas here in the UK! I hope everyone else on the thread had a good time.... Cathy |

Just make sure that any new stuff you buy you take out of packets etc before packing - otherwise customs can charge you for things they think are brand new....
Been looking at Blackman's Bay and Kingston recently........love Battery Point, but we're a few 00's short of the asking price there....LOL So it looks like we're heading for one of these two places........is anyone already living there? :blink: Beth x x :wub: |

To be honest there were quite a few area's that seemed very nice - i liked the area's near to Hobart City itself, probably more so because i love older style properties.... I love character houses. Some area's just seemed to have more facilities nearby which is what we would prefer having the two kids and all.... I'm not as brave as Kezzabird who's considering going a bit more rural :D:D:D But that's probably because i haven't driven for years and need to get back into the swing of driving once we move... |

Sandy Bay and Battery Point absolutely stunning..........just too many 000's on the asking price...hee hee I love the older style houses too........I'd love a garden full of beautiful coloured roses too......and a wooden porch with a swing on.......(watched the Waltons too much as a child :eek:) But hey....I can dream!!!
