Hi everyone,
We are Craig and Nicky, we're thinking of moving to Oz with our 3 children
(15, 13 and 10) and four dogs!! No idea where yet, possibly Perth area.
Don't really know where to start or what to say, no visa application as yet, we've toyed with the idea of emigrating before but nothing came of it, this time we've made our minds up this is what we want. (Scottish winters do strange things to folk!)
Anyone offering advice, info or just to say hi would be appreciated.

Hello Craig & Nicky,
We are also new members to the community, (Harry & Yuni). Having said that we are almost 10 months into the application process. We live in Indonesia and have had 3 great holidays in Australia in the past 7 years. Good luck and remain patient.
Kind regards
H.

Re: new members
We are new members also, hoping to go to Brisbane with kids 14, 12, 10 and 6, application went in last month, waiting for next stage meds etc, feeling a bit down as we seem to have been thinking, planning, and applying forever!!! but hopefully just 4/5 months away from getting visa.
We are hoping to go on 175visa, had to do RPL for ACS accreditation and do Ielts for points required, also applied for permission for kids, one my OH and three mine.
I think its going to be the best move we could make, dont get me wrong i dont think its going to be a case of sunshine and champagne! i am sure we will have to work hard to make the move work for the whole family. OH has been to Aus but me n kids have never been, but looking forward to having Bali on the doorstep though!
This site is great for reading you can lose hours n hours reading other posts which mostly are really helpful and informative, go for it what do you have to lose!
good luck
