Yes, Robina is a great place to live. There are lots of changes, shopping centre undergoing massive renovation, when completed will have a new David Jones, myers, Big W and lots of new restaurants.
Hope you manage to return soon and good luck on looking for jobs.

Hi

I have heard about all the changes - can't wait to see them all. Do you live in Robina or the surrounding area? Have you found the work situation difficult? My husband is a builder/project manager.

Re: moved back and not loving it

This is my only worry about returning, I love my job and my work colleagues,plus its very rewarding, not money wise but helping ppl. It would be extremely hard if not impossible to get this job in Perth, ive tried emailing them etc in Perth but they say they get advertised if theyre ever available, btw im a smoking cessation specialist (community based)

Hi again
Yes we live in Robina, just over a km from city centre.
There is a lot of building going on .. and on seek.com.au there seems to be a fair amount of project management positions advertised fro 10m time to time.
We are very happy being so central to everything.. and take advantage of being only 10 mins from the beach..
I was fortunate enough to get a job with the company I was working for in the UK over here (I am in Sales) my husband is now doing something completely different job wise.. and daughter is happy in her final year at school. Good luck and all the best with your plans..

hello, was hoping to find a topic like this, didnt think it was gonna happen thow because i didnt think many people would move back from australia! lol.. well im new here anyway, my names ben and ive not long turned 18, i moved back to birmingham in november 07 after me and rest of my family decided to come back last july well around that time anyway. i felt like i was just settling in at that time thow after i had missed mates and things back home a few times before then. anyway we lived in helensvale, gold coast for 2 and a half years, got citizenship and everything which is a big bonus for moving back, my parents have only just come back in march thow as i came back early because i missed it here alot. but now i have been back i feel like ive realised why my parents wanted to move there in the first place, and i really want to go back but my mom and dad are happy back with their family, well, i think they are, and since im so young, its kinda hard to financially support yourself to go back alone as you could imagine. the good thing is i wont have to go through visas and everything again thanks to citizenship! not sure if all that made much sense as im just typing what is on my mind haha, just looking for any advice if anyone can help? cheers.

Hi there benji wenji,

Like you said the great thing is that you have got citizenship, at least if you aren't able to make it back in the immediate future you will still be able to at some point in your life :thumbsup: I'm sure you would like to be back here asap by what you have said but its still very early days with your folks, you never know, they may well be wanting to come back too at some stage, do they know how you feel about it all? It must have been very hard to have gone through moving back and forth, especially so at your age (I know for sure i wouldnt have coped with it very well at that age) I really do hope you get where you want to be in the near future, very best of luck
