we're off home! thanks everyone
If anyone remembers me we arrived in Brisbane six months ago and really not settled. Anyway we're going back home next month and so can't wait. Just wanted to say thank you to all those who've given advice and helped with getting our animals over and my homesick rants. Good luck to all those coming over and don't be ashamed to admit defeat if you hate it once you get here! Many others wouldn't have had the bottle to try and for us it was a very expensive try! but at least we gave it a go.... all the best xx

Oz isn't for everyone and it isnt for us at the present time either so we're also going back to the north west in June.

Best of luck! I hope at this point you have a chance - knowing that you are going home - to enjoy your last couple of weeks there
No defeat at all......you gave it your best go and it just wasn't right for you....just common sense in my opinion!!
take care,
Miranda

At least you were brave enough to give it a go.
Now you can enjoy your life back in the UK knowing that Australia wasn't for you.
All the best.
