Congratulations!!!

Does it seem real yet?:scared:

Might get to meet you in Brissie - check out some of Mrs Dagboy's threads - loads about different suburbs of Brisbane, which might help you. Also ABC Diamond has put a lot on about the Wellington Point area.

Cheers Poll.......you've also been a massive support during the "bleak" times. Thank you girl friend

Would love to meet you & other Expats once in Bris. I'm all for a good knees up and a few tinnies

WE FINALLY GOT THE VISA!!!!:PARTY: :PARTY: :PARTY:

Boy I feel like we've just run the "DIMIA Grand National"

Two weeks ago DIMIA awarded the visa to the wrong person in our family [15 yr old son has similar initials!].

This delayed the visa by about 2 weeks

But at last.......it's been awarded

Just got 2 wait for letter to arrive from Oz now. Then get passports posted.

Can't stop smiling

Believe me...we've nearly fallen a few times on the "DIMIA Grand National".

If we can get through it then anyone can.

Good luck to you folks out there still waiting.

Phoenixuk2oz [big grin / still smiling ]
Many Congrats - Good Luck
