Yep, hubby going 27th January Emirates via Dubai, we will follow on once he is settled
Hubby made redundant in May, house sold November, had visa 4 years and 10 months,
Me and kids don't need visa as we have the good old blue passports
Hoping to go to Cleveland area, but job will determine that.
See you all on the other side

Good luck to everyone heading this way. Pissing it down with rain at the minute and a bit chilly - 20 degrees today, jumper and jeans on.

Re: Who's heading to Qld 2010?
Hi we are in the process of our 175 just done medicals and PCC's which were asked for by our CO. All things going good and fingers crossed the house sells on time we are looking to move to the Sunshine Coast around July 2010
I just wanted to start this thread so I can start talking to other families in the same boat as us who are heading to Oz next year!
If anyone wants to share there timeline, info, dates, what part of Oz etc etc etc... I know that people have there timeline etc already noted on here but the threads and different rooms makes it a nightmare to scroll through
Thanks
Lynz

Almost the same scenario as you and yours, we have just been granted visa's and are in the process of attempting to sell house. we are also heading off to the Sunshine Coast (Caloundra) around june?July 2010.
Very excited about the prospect of our new life in the sun, but can't help feeling slightly anxious about everything.
best of luck with everything.

Hi
We are a family of five and leaving on 7/1/10 and heading for the Sunshine Coast.
We have not however managed to sell the house but apart from that things are going to plan (roughly). There is just so much to do!

Re: Who's heading to Qld 2010?
We are heading for outskirts of brissy. Loved ashgrove on our reccy but a no-go for us due to having only the bus journey in. Heard too many horror stories about the traffic - so having a rethink an will prob go north.
Did meds and police checks last week - hopefully all will go well to head over in July.
Am interested to follow this thread - good luck all!

Traffic is heavy - but T2 transit lanes speed up buses and dedicated busway improvements in the city have seriously helped speed things up.
