Default where do i start?????????

There's myself my wife and two sons.I work night-shift as a supervisor at a leading sports company(hate it)my wife is the professional and then there are my two sons ones sport mad and the other gun mad.We have our meds next week and our sponsor is waiting on his interview with CentreLink so not long to go fingers crossed.We will be going to Queensland probably nearer Brisbane.My wife has been before and has always wanted to go back i need to change my life by"getting a new life" working nights can be hard on your family because it disrupts so many things so i am up for the move.Then there is the youngest bless him he likes BB guns, at the moment he has a British Assault Rifle(£65)BB gun i might add, ddidn'thave them like that when i was a kid it looks bloody good though. All he is interested in is can he have a pool and lots of woods to play in.The one we are going to have a problem with is the eldest 13.He is sport mad very good at any sport he tries.His cricket season has just ended and his rugby season just started.Cricket is his first love and even as his dad speaking he is very good and thats the problem he loves his local club so what we said is that we would go for a holiday try to get him some practice sessions with a local club over there to hopefully change his mind.There is Ellie the Saint Bernard she will be coming Molly the Persian cat hopefully won't be coming and two guinea pigs Smudge and Fudge definitely not going (by the way the dogs mine)i just seem to clean up after the others.So that is a small introduction into my family and hope to have everything completed soon.I'm not used to typing it took me a long time to do this.

Welcome from one Newbie to another!! (Though I notice you have been registered here for a while).


We too are Brisbane bound but we are at the early stages of the process, awaiting an answer from the TRA. I'm sure there will be more and better facilities for your son to play cricket over there than there are here and the weather will certainly be an improvement.

Good luck to you!!!
