Hi it is a few things OH work is very slow and not what he is used too carpener schooling for the boys is very different and the cost of living is going up every week house prices are so expensive so in all it is a few things, If the education was fine then OH would be able to get something else or we would sacrafise other things but with the boys education that is the big thing and the important one,We will miss going to the park and the out door life but that lasts only a few months,when the winter comes OMG it got so cold we could not belive it everyone told us winter in oz was like uk summer yes it would be if you had central heating and double glazing :eek: have never been so cold and we came from scotland:rofl:,It all depends on what you are looking for we are just looking for something that is not here right now and are a bit mixed feeling We do love oz for somethings but not others but i would say think about what you are looking for as the grass is not always greener hope this helps Kate:wub:

I think a lot of people feel the same way, some things are better some things are worse. Well as long as you feel you have given it a good try, how long were you out here for?, I have been here 4 years now and still not decided wether to stay or not :)

We used Jetta Express www.jettaexpress.com.au

Great service and reasonably priced too. Our baggage got picked up the day before we left and arrived back the day after us.
