confused.poms have arrived!
 
If you see a family of 5 pasty looking individuals in the Gold Coast/Bayside areas, walking around like startled fawns, driving very slowly, turning left when they should have gone right, then that is us.

After one of the most stressful weeks of our lives we have finally made it to Oz. Now we just need to find a house, a job, schools, a car etc etc.

If it's a midlife crisis then buying the sportscar, boat would have been easier and cheaper!!!!! :eek:

Welcome, you have arrived at the best time, weather-wise.

Just don't complain it's hot now or you'll never hear the end of it :D
