Re: We have arrived!
Sounds like you're having a great time.
One question - will Ken not be Rusty Ken any more (because he'll be in the sun instead of the rain?) How about Krusty Ken (sunburn?!).
anyway have some newly-arrived karma

Re: We have arrived!
ok, so we are here three weeks now, but hey! it takes time to get things sorted
We stayed for two weeks in a lovely cottage in Burbank, Mackensie and are now living in Currumbin Valley. The only fitting description is beautiful
We were a little frustrated at the process of getting things like drivers licence, TFN and medicare but we eventually got through the red tape. Bought a car! woohoo! our first car paid for outright! A lovely toyota tarago. The kids are starting school hopefully after the easter break and they are loving it out here. The flights were totally trouble free and the kids were amazing for the whole journey We didn't even suffer from jet lag!!
We have found people to be very friendly and welcoming and the aussie drivers are no worse than the drivers in Northern Ireland! Can hardly believe what we have dreamed about and for, for over 18 months is finally a reality for us, feeling very blessed right now.
Having a great time buying new stuff too, its such a hardship picking a new TV and sound system it is tempting to go totally mad, but have now stopped converting back and slowly turning into a sensible woman with money again, well slowly anyway! heehee
Will post some photos if anyone is interested, but just to let you guys know we were here.

Re: We have arrived!
You are making me turn green with envy! so dont like you very much - only joking
We are hoping to get to the Sunshine Coast at some point in the future. We have been looking at Coolum and Mooloolabah, not been but have been recommended by a few people with us having a 2 year old.
We are still in the early stages of the TRA we have been looking at doing it for years but baby coming sort of got in the way, so have been serious for a few months, time is funny, it seems ages ago since we made up our minds we ARE going, but then again it was really only a few weeks ago. Im now turning into a mad women and want everything done NOW! tomorrow is not good enough,
think the other half is getting annoyed with it .
Any way glad everything is going so well, hope to see more pics soon,
