I know exactly how you feel, am the same. I would leave in the morning but my husband's line of work means there is only certain countries we could move to (broadcasting engineer). Don't worry about distance the world is a small place now and its a great feeling visiting the UK but its even better when you get on the flight out.

I met alot of Aussies when I was an expat and I have never met a nicer group of people and would love the chance to live in Australia.
