Blimey..! I'll stop whinging now then. It must be pretty nice there

My husband is a diver. He could work from Singapore but this still isn't Australia and would mean he was away for longer periods, 5 weeks is long enough...so its North Sea or nothing and it is where he wants to stay. He isn't trained in anything else.

I wanted to do a 2 yr course in brisbane which is why I chose that area but the academy say they don't sponsor students. They've said I need to have a visa sorted beforehand...

My sister and her family are moving to NZ next month, which is another reason we started looking into moving ourselves, so we could be nearer to them. I also have a cousin in Oz who is married to an Australian but they aren't really in a position to sponsor us..
I'll keep going, it might be a case of catching the right agent on the right day that makes a difference..

cheers
