Another one off to Darwin
 

After a gruelling interview yesterday, my OH has been given a lateral transfer sponsorship with the oz army. WE had hoped to get Victoria, but beggars it looks like we are off to Darwin.
I would like some info on uni's as im hoping to do a graduate entry nursing course, as it looks like we will be there for 2 years and i might as well get some usefull ozzy qualifications.

Well firstly congratulations Mandy. Second - you might find Darwin is to your liking. And thirdly, if it isn't, you'll have a foot in the door and can move on once you've on the ground. ;)

Hey Mandy, thats a Bernese Mountain Dog in our avatar isn't it? Nice dogs, but they might find it a tad warm in Darwin if you're bringing one!

As Hutch said, you'll have your foot in the door, and at least Darwin is close to asia, so you can have lots of nice holidays to Bali, Singapore, etc....

No idea what sort of dog it is Johnny, just like the pic lol.


Im taking a springer spaniel so im hoping he will aclimatise to the weather.

Large Army and Air Force bases in Darwin.
Army are doing you a favour, much better here than Victoria. You will wan't to get some sort of accomadation allowance though, otherwise property will be a major expense.
And the climate's not as bad as you might hear, you do get used to it. We had a cold morning today when it got down to about 18C, ;) now a lovely 30C.:thumbup:
