Default Where From and Where to?

Hiya All,

I am curious to see where people are from/are and where you have decided to settle in Australia.

Also, what type of visa and job you are going to do or doing.

We are from Beverley, East Yorkshire

We are starting in Adelaide to see family and then thinking of Brisbane area to settle. We are coming out on a 136 Visa as a hairdresser.

We are from Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire and we are planning on living in Bungarby, NSW (approx. 2 hrs from Canberra, so very rural!).

Going out on a 136 skilled independent visa, hopefully end Aug/Sept, just waiting for the house to go through!

Hubby is IT Network Designer, but made redundance just before our validation trip back in Feb/Mar an I have my own wedding stationery business (internet based) which I'll setup again over there, but we're going to have some time out and Dan doesn't want to do IT any more so maybe some farming ......!

If I can presuade my OH to come to Canberra then I will. He doesn't fancy it at the minute.

I have a basic plan at the minute, but we will probably take it as it comes and just go with the flow.

Hi Chief

We are at the wait and get on each others nerves bit Application lodged Dec 05. Case officer assigned April 06. Medicals done, pccs done and bond lodged with Centrelink. These final bits were done and sent off 26th April so hopefully it should be any time now (If its much longer my sanity or liver will be in grave danger )
