Woohoo!! We finally have our visas!! So happy that it is finally our turn. This forum has been a great help in our journey so far and hopefully will continue to be so as I hear the real hard work starts now?! So... many thanks to all on here

We have to enter by July next year so we are thinking of making a reccie trip early next year to validate and then go for good around 18 months from now, when we eventually sell our house. Still so long to wait!

We had originally planned on moving out to Perth as this is really the only place we have ever spent any real time, we were there for around 4 months after graduating 5 years ago and totally fell in love with the place. However, I am well aware that 5 years is a long time for things to have changed, also my OH who is the main visa holder works in I.T and it seems to be that most of the jobs in this industry are in Sydney and Melbourne? Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I currently work in the airline industry, so whilst I could therefore technically get a job anywhere I am quite concerned it will be quite a struggle for me to find anything at all!

Anyway, for now visa celebrations are still ongoing...good luck to all others still waiting, it will happen eventually!

Thanks for all the congrats people

We were thinking along those lines, being as Sydney and Melbourne seem to be where the I.T jobs are, we are going to see what comes up in the meantime, and then have a look around whichever seems to have the most. I was going to start up a Sydney vs Melbourne debate but thought better of it.

Maybe it's because I'm a bit of a shy bod on this forumI'll start being a bit LOUDER from now on maybe

Thanks again everyone
