i would start learning to drive quickly. i think you will struggle living somewhere like cairns with 4 kids and not being able to drive. the public transport here is very poor and unreliable. sometimes the buses simply do not turn up. waits of up to an hour are not uncommon. i would choose very carefully where you live. smithfield or redlynch would be good options for schools, shops etc.
Looks like Redlynch has the thumbs up so far :thumbup: Beth x x :wub: |

Actually Liz your application is for a Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme visa and the position has to be approved by a Regional Certifying Body which in Cairns case is the Cairns Chamber of Commerce, Commerce Queensland or Gulf Savannah Development.
Not that I'm pernickety or anything. :p I will get your Mrs to sort you out if you are pernickety again!! or I may have to! Liz |

Can't figure out if all of my girls would go to the same school or not :blink: They are 12, 11, 8 & 3 years old. Anyone know? I don't think it works the same in Oz school years.....so don't know what year they would be in school. Beth x x :wub: :D |

Not sure how young they start at Redlynch State school but the others would definately could go there. My eldest was 12 in December and she's one of the youngest in year 8 and the other is 9 (10 in June) and she's in year 5.
:D My eldest was 12 in November......so it sounds like my older 3 would be in the same school then :thumbsup: How are you finding things in Cairns? Any horror stories I need to know about.....apart from meeting Bix or WW....LOL :rofl: Beth x x :wub: |

Don't think any of the Cairns folk have met WW he's a very elusive character! No horror stories to report, it's been quite a stressful few months just with finding rentals and the drama of our UK house sale but that is all resolved, work is good and Nigel now has an old ute and his tools and kids are getting themselves to and from school on the bus which is good!
Even the weather has been kind, no cyclones (yet) just hot and humid but not unbearable. :) I'm not looking forward to fighting over rentals.........houses do look fab in Redlynch though :thumbup: Still have to sell our house in the UK.......been on the market for 10 months already!!!! EA said it's spotless and modern....just need to wait for a buyer who can afford it :unsure: Think I will email the school to see if I can put my girls' names down ready to start school in May.
