Welcome manx's. We are only 2.5 weeks in, and things are starting to fall into place. Need to look for jobs now, boring :D

Hi guys,
We are in Redland Bay, and are having a meet next Saturday afternoon, if you all fancy coming along. That is if you aren't too busy.

Had our first Aussie barbie even though the hosts were a bit out of sorts having a barbie mid winter!!! They were wearing jumpers we were wearing light weights.

All on track and first impressions are really good, everybody really helpful and cheery, even the local bus driver drove us to the nearest car hire but he insisted we use an alternative business which turned out to be sound advice as we saved $30 per day, always listen to the locals!!

Just applied for TFN online successfully but unsure about visas. Do we need to visit the DIMIA office in Brisbane or has the visa been validated on entry.?

Any advice greatly received.

Going to check out the local suburbs for rents and interviews for jobs set up for tomorrow, so going well.

Post again soon, but anyone out there still unsure as to take the plunge, our advice - DO IT!!

Manxfamilyxxxxx

Good luck you all!
Glad you had a good journey (with well behaved girls!! :D )
That's the bit we're dreading most!!!!
We are arriving in Brisbane on the 19th August with 2 little ones!!!
Let us know how you are all getting on :D

So glad you are there, and through the long journey ok! The early morning wake up call is a lot to get used to, but I love the sound of the birds warbling and the kookaburra's!

Welcome to Australia! :)
