Right ok am ave had a few wines,

but aint this forum like a big life circle, people keep asking the same questions, going through the same motions and the 'oldie posters' on here can say 'here we go again:lol:'

and at the end of the day we are doing the same things a million people have done before us, the 10 pound poms etc, etc, we have all had the same, hopes, dreams, :o


I dont mean to sound corny, but its just a bit circle of life really!!!!!!!

of course this is a well beaten track we help the newbies as we were helped what goes around comes around.

I'm always pleased to answer the same questions over and over as others did for me :thumbsup:

It does make you feel good to be able to give back some of what we have all received.

Be nice for a few more thank you's for all the posts seasoned posters and agents reply to though............

I think she was commenting away from BE and more about the stress and tribulations of migration. The forum itself is like grand central station with people passing through - some exit once arrived never to be seen again, others stay around helping others off (others wave frantically to stop the trains coming:rofl:)

Giving comfort from the knowledge millions of others have sat up at 2am in the morning boxing crap to tired to throw it out (feels easier to throw it in a box and leave to clear at the other end) (okay maybe it was just me:o).

And if your marriage isn't challenged during the move .... Your not trying hard enough. or its a bloody financial arrangement:D

Enjoying the initial weeks/months new sights/sounds/smells starting a fresh.
:ohmy: I can see something disturbing in that last line:sneaky:

At least in this circle of time its only a 24 hour flight and not a week at sea and oh how easy is it for information gathering with the internet. Can't bear too imagine how frustrating it would be waiting for either Royal or Oz mail.

Too true I say, this is a journey of life and the "elders" share their wisdom with the young coming through who will hopefully carry on the tradition.

Having sites like BE bring us together and make us realise we can achieve our dreams and have support available to us from others who have "been there and done that".

I love how everyone is so helpful to each other on here and try where I can to play my part.

Well said!

I don't think I would have come as far as I have if it wasn't for the encouragement from folk on this site. Plus reading about other people's experiences really makes you want to give it a try.

We fly out in about 8 weeks, and if I have moments of doubt (which I'm having quite a few at the mo!) I just log onto this and I'm ok again!
