we have arrived in brisbane
To one and all
we arrived on october 28th and still cant believe we are here it is fantastic. weather is brill and so far cant complain about anything.
we waited along time for this and to think we are here well is unbelievable.
mark is a painter and decorator and phoned for a job 3rd day we were here and starts monday he is doing a health and safety test today and away he goes. so far no home sickness but it is early days yet.
anyway will write more soon if anyone is interested.
goodluck everyone its worth the wait.

If you are interested theres a Brisbane meet up in the first couple of weeks of December, theres a thread Polly started yesterday, but as rachels said, if you need help with anything before then just yell.

Glad to hear from another new Brisbanite!
Please do keep posting as you must remember what a long, difficult wait it is from this end. Any comments on how you have found your new life are welcome.
It seems like Brissie is THE place to be at the moment- I can't wait to join you!

Liz and Mark,
Now you can change your location under your user name to one a bit more exotic than Taunton. Are you missing the Zider yet?

Hi, we have been here just over 3 months now and boy does it go by fast. We too were lucky to find jobs straight away which takes away some stress but the weeks fly by and you don't get much time to visit.
Well done, it is certainly worth the wait.
