Good question! My next post was going to ask you all the same thing.
Where are you now and why did you pick that particular area, and what are
the pros and cons of the area that you picked.
We're probably looking at Perth at the moment, just as a start. Can't
believe how cheap property is out there!

Well, we are headed fro the Gold Coast in Queensland! Many reasons.....
lots of good jobs for my hubby (he is a Head Chef) and also my mum &
stepdad live there..... so BABYSITTERS GALORE! hehehehehe pnly kidding!
I haven't seen my mum more than 6 times since I was 14 so it will be
LOVELY to have her up the street!!! (long story).... plus my mum & i run
a business on the Gold Coast too. www.goldcoastsmile.com
so the question now has to be asked..... why Perth???

Why not? Seems to be where the majority of Brits head for. I'm not a sheep
but it sort of makes sense to head for 'familiar' territory. Have been doing
loads of research on areas ,schools and work. Think my 'mouse' hand is on
the way out :) Some of the houses out there are just 'obscene' in size,
considering the price. It seems a bit pointless buying a, what they call,
'entertaiment' house, when we'll have no-one to entertain tho! Maybe I'm
jumping the gun a bit here; haven't sent my TRA off yet! Hard not to get
excited though, now that we've FINALLY made the decision to go!!

Hi,
We're still in UK but are heading for Brisbane. Applied and recently
got a job. They've given me a start date of July 2006. Have our visas
so only need to sell the house....fingers crossed. We chose Brisbane
due to a number of things. The weather for one, close to holiday
destinations that you don't have to spend half the time in the air (have
two kids 7 & 4 so traveling too far wasn't something we wanted to do)
and have friends in Sydney so we can fly there in next to no time.
Cheers
Ginny
