Re: Looks like I am coming to the Oz

Yes I'm afraid no company has enough pull to change visa requirements. Your children are adults now and would need to apply individually or as suggested go for the working holiday visa.

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

Exactly, it doesn't matter how inaccurate the comment is they tell themselves it is true and others will agree sith them, it's baffling. I hear all the time how the UK doesn't make anything any more,...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

It's not true in hour case but what we often see is when someone decides to emigrate the UK suddenly becomes the worst place in the world, it rains every day and when it isn't raining it's grey or...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

I think the answer to that is a massive yes. How many times have you heard Brits complain about the country but often in a way that isn't even remotely true. There was someone on another forum...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

I don't read online papers or indeed the real ones so I guess I don't have to worry myself about those things.
No, there are many many more things than just those you listed oh and the UK was...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

Because much of it is brown, dry and inhospitable. The majority of people dont want to live in a dustbowl in the middle of nowhere.

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

You have to remember that honesty can be seen as negativity. My wife gave birth to twins 16 years ago and the experience was less than positive, left alone after the birth while bleeding, passing out...

Re: Moving money back to the UK

When we have moved over the years we just use the exchange rate of the day, it is what it is. When we moved back to the UK 5 or so years ago it was way down around $1.40ish, pure chance. We just...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

I couldn't imagine living anywhere with traffic again, Brisbane used to drive me mad, awful drivers didn't help.

I wouldn't live in Perth for all the money in the world. Same for Sydney but the...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

I live rural, a traffic jam for us is 3 cars and a tractor. I was reading a few days ago about our old local freeway in Brisbane, a 60 km tailback, I do admit to a sly smile :thumbup:

OK, well I kind of see where you are coming from. Don't ask my wife about her experience of giving birth in Australia :lol:

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

OK, when you first made the decision what one thing was the light bulb moment ? The thing that started you off on the journey to getting your visa ? It can't be a whim like it used to be because it's...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

Yes I get what you are saying, it is almost always in the opposite direction for those people as the UK just offers so much more.
Look at the Australian 'stars' that have moved here permanently,...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

You might be surprised then just how many Australians choose to make the UK their home. There are a surprising number that have no love for the bush and the beach and look for something deeper....

Re: The Cricket Thread

I see Ashes series just going backwards and forward depending on where they are played. On neutral ground these 2 sides would be pretty much even and if played in England then we would probably win.

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

In a nutshell no. If you had asked me 20 years ago it would be resounding yes. It is a very expensive country, not just ridiculous house prices but food and many other things. There is crazy amounts...
