Received my pr visa grant today so looking to be off to sydney in june. Only me myself and I going, so no reason to delay too much.

Just wondering if anyone else is heading that way? Likely to be staying somewhere near a surfable beach - I know a few people out there, but be great to catch up for a drink and share some of the initial daunting aspects & the excitement.

Best of luck to you all.

well somehow I dont think the $2000/week one would be classified as reasonable...may have a slight issue there trying to explain it to work!

I think I'm around 4-6 weeks from grant, if not less. At the moment I'm feeling inclined to find a job out there before i go, and I'm also dead excited about the summer coming - which is putting me off going over to the aussie winter *too* quickly. So I'm not feeling as desperate to go as I was. I think I'll be wise and try my damndest to get work, then go. But there will come a point when i can't wait.

of course, all of this is made much easier (& harder?) by the fact i've just started seeing someone. But she knows the score, so i think it'll work out fine. She may even be tempted to come with me! At the moment i'm not thinking about the future, and enjoying what i've got.

Congrats on the visa grant MTPockets! See you in The CBH soon!

Scuba Steve, mate you need to knock some heads together soon! It's shit being out of control isn't it! But i'm sure it'll come together.

Pony: I'll see u out back chick! We'll be needing a team van?

Doc: well done on the vetassess bro, nice conjugation of them there verbs!

everyone else: you're ****ing awesome! :)

much love from a loved up Dan x

looks like we're in a similar boat I should only be about 4 weeks from grant too and started seeing someone a couple of months back (always happens when you're not looking)
