Re: OZ Vs UK
You have to be there a week
And your CO will inform when she is nearly ready to grant visa...and will say you can book flights etc - you have to send all details of flight and hotel etc ...then go...once there you need to make sure you have internet access...as they email when you can go to Consulate to get Visa.
You can go anywhere...as long as you get off Aus soil.

what's happened to your avatar?.. from memory it was different, or am I losing the plot... please don't send the white coat brigade
I wander where most expats go offshore in our situation? We're not going back to the UK [in 2 years time] to get the visa.

Yes fancy Fiji, but like you say most people go to NZ cause its cheap, looks like its a trip to the travel agent, it will be 4 of us so just hope we can get a good deal a month before our CO tells us to book.

Re: OZ Vs UK
We did the Auckland thing mid December... For the second time as well because we were out here on a Tourist Visa initially so had to get offshore in September when we applied for the Business Visa... Auckland's not great at all... We too wanted to try the South Island second time around but apparently there are no Aussie Consulates where you can get the Visa label put in on the South Island...

Oh dear. Sorry to hear that. Will you head back to Gloucs then ?
Is it too rural where you are ?

Its not that rural here, just not much happening. Seen pretty much everywhere within a two hour drive in every direction.
If you are happy with a beach then you have it made here. Personally the beach isn't for me.

Probably back to somewhere in the North West this time...

The North West has changed a hell of a lot in the last 12 years !
We're hoping to get over to Perth and, from what we saw on our recce last year, there is plenty to do ( as well as the beach ). I know it's not to everyone's taste; I just hope it is to ours.
