The cost of living is certainly higher than you think it is when you are living in the UK. With the exchange rate everything seems cheaper when you are are holiday from the UK but it's different when you are earning Aussie dollars.
Some people are homesick for the families since there is an adjustment period and that has to be expected since it takes time to settle in and find new friends. The fact that I can talk to my parents and see them through Skype for free has made a big difference. We've set up a free blog where we put our pictures too so family and friends can still see what we're up to.
I know nothing about the Army here but moving to Oz is the best thing we've ever done.
Regards,
Karen
