Do not know much about Melbourne but my husband had been 3 times on business and said it looks lovely and sometimes you could have 4 seasons of weather in one day so itll be different to England.
The lifestyle here is great, lovely to be brown.The whole family is more relaxed and the kids love it.It isnt as perfect as they make it on the television but still a lot better then the UK.And personally i'd rather live in the sunshine of Auzz then rain and cold of England.
Good luck with your move, its a great experience.

Hi there, my husband and i are going to the expo in edinbourgh at the end of feb which i'm really looking forward to! sooner we can get to brisbane the better!!
Do they have australian employers at the expo? also if you could give me any nice areas in brisbane to live that would be great! we have a 4year old and an 11month old so are looking for somewhere thats good for families. Also do you think we should start our visa application now or wait to see if my husband can get sponsered through work?
i'm not sure which way to do things,any way i can speed up the process is good for me. Did you rent a house when you got there or buy straight away? we are looking to rent first then buy after a year so we can have a good look around. not sure how we go about renting though? can i set a rented house up from the uk so that we have somewhere to go once we get there?
hope you can help with all my questions,
as you can gather i'm still quite confused over it all!
hopefully speak soon,
