update and huge thank you to all kind souls at BE who've helped
Just wanted to say I tried to email you all individually for all the kindness that you have showed. Am totally overwhelmed and very humbled that total strangers and people I've just met have cared enough to try and help us out finding somewhere to live and kind words about our dog problems. I really appreciate it but am so weepy that it will start me off again, just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
The good news is that we ahve secured a rental in The Gap as from tomorrow. It's about 200 dollars more a week than we wanted to pay but will take the pets, has air con (for the babies!). and a pool and we feel very lucky. To all those still looking so much luck that you get somewhere. Can't believe it's so hard. All I've learnt if it helps anyone is just to put in as many applications as you can just hoping that one will come through and not and sit and wait like eejits like us that the one we hoped for would (it didn't but we found somewhre else!) Also if the agents insist on twelve months and you want a six months, gird your loins and insist! To all i met on the roma parklands a bbq will be imminent, once we get plates to eat off as all we've got to our names is clothes, two oven mitts and three pillows!
As for the pooch and ehrilichia nightmare, we're looking at taking another test for our dogs (thanks to a kind sould on BE) who advised us and hoping that gets her through. Our cats and one dog are now in the air and should be arriving I hope at syndey quarantine tomorrow morning.
I just wish everyone out there all the luck in teh world and if we can ever do anything for any of you please pm me and I will send my new address and mobile number. All the best us x

Was it difficult finding a rental property online in the UK? We are hoping to be moving to the Gold Coast and we need a 4 bed + pool + we have 1 dog ( Small whippet). We will be in a position to pay for 6 months out right (450.00 per week). I want to be sure that we have somewhere to live before we go. Where the agents helpful? Your advise would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Lovely that you've got a pool...
Good luck and keep us updated.

Re: update and huge thank you to all kind souls at BE who've helped
so please you gave us an update ms liverpool, i have been worried about you.
you will look back on this in about 6 months time and smile, smile and wave boys, smile and wave ........ 
you other dog will get over here soon as well, i can feel it in me water. there's nothing like the feeling you have going to quarantine to pick them up. just keep on having the test until it passes.
the pressure is really on isnt it, looking for a rental. we were getting stressed and we were staying with my sister, so wasnt too bad.
bonus though, a pool .......
nice one

ps, let us know whats happening with the other pooch.

So glad you've found somewhere to live. That's a huge hurdle to cross. Well done at last!
I really hope the pooch makes it through the next check and can join you in doggy walkies on the beach.
Keep your chin up: onwards and upwards and all the rest of it!!

Ruth, now you've got ME started!!!!! SOB.
So happy you've secured somewhere but even happier that there is actually another test that can be done for the pooch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd never have known that until I read your post so that's some hope for others facing the same problem.
Have hope and trust in getting her to you asap and it will all come good!
Thinking of you!!!!!!!!

Oh, brilliant, that's so good. You'll probably get a pay rise soon, so won't even feel the higher rent.
You'll be very pleased about the pool soon, too...
Good luck with the other dog and you know what you gotta do now, don't you - drag family to beach, sit back, watch that horizon, wonder how in earth you made it here... ENJOY!
