Been viewing for a few months now.
Time to join up and say hello. Everyone is right, this site is really quite addictive. Hopefully moving to nsw sometime next year with my wife as main visa (hairdresser), but because she's been unable to work for a while (no-one to help with the children, so she has had to stay at home ) she has to work at least 20 hours a week for a year before we can even apply for the visa.
Started off convinced we needed a holiday in nsw first, but now feel i should just go for it. The kids slowly coming round to the idea,i myself can't wait ,but although i have owned a reasonably successful business they won;t look at me
her uncle from near newcastle is coming over in october so i'll give him a good quizzing over a guinness or two.

Hi,
We are off the the Sunshine Coast in August (hopefully!) and we have not been there before either, there a lots of us on here who are doing the same thing. Probably not the ideal way to do it but worth the risk I say!!
Welcome to the site and good luck with everything.

Hi to you both. We thought about just emigrating without a visit and everyone thought we must be mad, but such a high percentage do. I must admit after the amount of money our reccie next month is costing i wish we had done just that. All the best.
