Hi just thought I would join in - hubby and I are planning to go to Brisbane. Hopefully either later this year or early next year. We have our visas, just waiting with baited breath on the house sale going through, fingers crossed it goes ok. PLan is to rent somewhere for a couple of months after this, then move out late dec, earlyu jan

Good luck with all your visa applications.

Fremantle hospital is great I worked there in 2000 for 3 months on various wards and departments for an agency. I loved the place. Loads of british expats work there. They are so friendly in Freo. Have you been before? Just thought I'd let you know how great it is.
Good Luck Marie

Hi Marie, thanks for the info. We haven't been to Freo before. Infact we haven't been to Australia before. Infact i have never flown further than Dublin (and i only did that last year!!). It looks fantastic on the TV and we were up for an adventure. If we don't do it now we may never do it. Almost every person i have told has told me about somebody they know who has done it and loves it and never wants to come back. That many people can't be wrong!
We decided that even if we hate it (as if!!)we will stick it for 2 years.
We have 3 boys and they are really excited too. They mention it at least once a day.
How slowly the days go when waiting for a visa!

You go for it. It's the best thing you will ever do. It's the best place in our opinion to bring up children. We have a 12month old boy. We plan on having 1 or 2 more babies once we settle in Oz, but for now we are just trying to get there. I just wish we could go to WA, never mind once Neil gets Ozzy paramedic experience in NSW or Queensland we should have more chance getting to WA eventually.
Just don't let the first few months put you off! We hated Oz for the first 2 months, I packed my rucksack a few times saying I'm going home, but we stuck it out and loved it, we didn't want to come home but we were only on a WHV and we had a house to sell in the UK, so we went home got married had a baby and sent in the application, now just waiting to get there, we are hoping to be there April 2005 if all goes well. Well thats our story anybody got their stories to tell?
Hope all goes well for you Good Luck Marie

Sorry, only just seen this post. We're hopefully going to settle in Kalamunda/Lesmurdie area as we are hoping for a particular school, but who knows where the wind will take us?

That's a real bummer, Jez. I'm so sorry you're having to do it all again. Hopefully, they will speed you up because they mucked up!

The only problem is that I can't get anyone to admit to anything! It's all quiet at ASPC, and don't want to piss them off too much (yet)!

I'm thinking of phoning tonight and see if i can get any joy out of them ... but I'm not holding out too much hope of that !
