Thanks guys, after waiting so long trying to find different routes into oz, to finally be given a way in is amazing.
Although intially i was worried about going to be living so far from where i thought i would be. Now ive accepted that the door has been opened and i will enjoy the adventure of living some where most people would not choose to go. I know eventually we will get to Victoria, but i shall enjoy the ride for now.
Ive just got to finish my degree now and graduate, which takes me to December, then after that im hoping we will be on our way.

Ive got to crack on with my next assignment and then i can concentrate on my final end of course assignment.
So it will be back to the books for me on Monday.

We've just been posted to Darwin so will be moving up in January. Not the best time of year to be moving, but don't have a lot of choice!

Gonna be a long drive from VIC up to Darwin but am so looking forward to it! May not feel the same at the end of it though!

Keep in touch and may catch up with you when you come over!

Congratulations Mandy .All good things come to those who wait (even if it's not by choice )

Hey Mandy congrats sounds exciting and like Hutch says you can always move later if not to your liking, bit like us really we could only get in via state sponser got our citizenship now but still in Tas its a little slow but it grows on you

really chuffed for you

Well that MUST be warm then!!!

Best of luck good attitude

welcome Mandy
we've been here 3 years now and loving it! I was(is?) a lateral transfer and having been around the great country of Oz on courses I can say this is the best place to start and as a nurse they will bite your hand off! Anyway if you want more info to the real side of being here as a lateral please PM me and I'll give you some info.

Congrats Mandy, great to hear its finally happening. xx

We are also moving to Darwin in January,

we were really dubious about moving there but after 6 months of researching and talking to 'Darwinites' we can't bloody wait. We were going to just last there a few months before moving on but it turns out there is so much to see and do we may be there considerably longer.

Now counting down the days, only 134 days to go!!

Thats a helluva long drive, im glad i aint doing that. lol
Still waiting for the formal offer to come through, the others who were interviewed the week before us are now starting to get the offers through so i reckon next week we shall know if its definatly Darwin.
Look forward to finally meeting you and sharing a drinky or three.
Take care
Mandy xx
