York
We have been granted our Visas and plan to be in Aus by the end of the year, if the house sells. Have people found the York show benificial? 0r is it prodomently agents adverising their services. We are in Warrington so its only a £25 train trip (Its only me that will be going) but still dont want to waste the day.

Scary to think we may not be here by then :scared:Blimey!!!! that does seem weird!! bit of both really - im hoping we will have progressed to at least waiting for visas by then and so maybe shipping and pet carriers will be of some interest. HOWEVER will not be staying at monkey puzzle as i havent eaten such shi** in my life!!!! BARF
