12 WONDERFUL MONTHS IN VICTORIA
Landed at Tullamarine June 9th 2008,exactly 1 year ago today.
Still here.
Wife and kids like it ,i'm really ambivolous about the move ....dont like or hate the place so far.
On a positive note I much prefer the climate here ( although it feels bloody cold at the moment )
3 more years and the kids can apply for citizenship.At this point in time i really can't see me settling here permanently but time will tell.
Thats pretty much it.
Heres to year 2

Being in your position is about right for one year..
I reckon it will pass, the more you settle make new friends, discover more places, it may appeal more..
Melbourne is an awesome city. do you recall when you were "stuckinblighty" ?

Hi
Goodluck for years 2 3 and 4th. You will love it. Been here 2 and can't even think about going back.
Just a suggestion have you not tried Queensland. Its amazing here. I have been all over Australia with exception to Perth and Gold Coast is easily the best place to live, not the cheapest but the best.
Good luck any way

Re: 12 WONDERFUL MONTHS IN VICTORIA
Blinking flip, I can't believe you've been here a year already !!!! I admit, I felt exactly the same as you this time last year. I was on the fence as to whether or not this was a long term move. This year, it all feels more settled. I still say never say never, but on the whole, I could actually see me staying her forever now.
Here's to many more happy years to you and your mate

Hi SIB and Herrchook
We have been here now 2 years and 5 months. Australia is now right for us but still indecided about Melbourne. We might investigate Queensland soon.
I firmly believe that it takes a while to get the feel of a place but there is a point where you think 'mmmh this isn't it for me', we are getting that way with Melbourne.
