...Well I want to. I love Western Australia, been in Perth for over a year now and I have fallen in love with a small town in the southwest corner . The plan is to buy a plot and build our dream home
Just need to convince hubby a bit more.

Anybody else got to Australia planned to stay somewhere then decided that they want to move 6 hours down the road, where they only have 1 supermarket, no crappy malls selling the same stuff as any other mall.

A place where the Aussies out number the Poms (heaven).

Ah, good luck to you.

Our plan is to wait until the kids have done school and got jobs etc then we're going to tour Australia and find our little piece of heaven. I'm pretty close to heaven already though

Well I'm OK, my youngest is nearly 8, and there certainly won't be any more!. So it gives us plenty of time to build up some cash.

I like the kit homes, there are some really nice ones about. I like the look of Queenslanders, but the drawback is I'd have to move there (only kidding )
