...but we're in the same boat. Long term job opportunity has us looking to move to Oz NOW without ever having been there even for a holiday visit. Melbourne area is our target (well, maybe further out in Victoria somewhere), but we're most likely be making the decision final, putting the house on the market and making way within a week! We haven't even told our 5 kids as yet!

We're studying, researching, googling, as much as humanly possible ...trying to absorb and integrate information as best as possible. Any info about Melbourne area, schools, housing, transportation, cost of living, etc. is well received and appreciated.

Thanks and best regards,
Ric, Martha and kids
