Well, that was fun........
Just had our medicals; bloods and x-rays done. Easiest way i have found to deplete the bank balance; and i haven't even got anything to try on!!!!
I sent the visa form and the immigration form 3 days ago, so now we wait!!
For some weird reason, even the rubbish housing market hasn't got me down today!!!!!
Woohoo, Australia, here we come, hopefully!!!

Thanks Tiff,
we are going to Adelaide, SA. On a 457 visa, so sponsorered by my employers. Not quite as exciting as some other places, but we have fallen in love with the place. Of course, the Barossa makes up for that!!
Where are you headed?
J
We are headed to Perth. I think we will end up in Geraldton north of Perth. Though I heard there was someone killed on the beach there last Christmas.... So are keeping our options open
Cheers, Dolly.
I am so excited. I really expected a bit more hassal than this, but so far it has been relatively simple.
I have started watching all kinds of Oz programmes, not though neighbours or home and away!
Crime scene Australia has become compulsive, as has Nothing to Declare. The immigration guys are fantastic; and the information on what i can or can't take in has been really helpful. I tell you, i will not, repeat not be liberating that ham sandwich off the plane now, .
Tiff, wester australia has crocs!!! Box jellyfish!!! Or was it something on 2 legs that killed that poor person? I I guess even in Oz the world's gone a bit mental!
Put all thoughts of such events out of your head, lovey, i know i am.
Take care

Just signed onto this website for the first time and saw your posting. We left SA and settled in Adelaide in 98. Give me a shout if you need any info and I"ll be happy to try help.
BeenThere,
you are a gem!
We don't know anyone there, so would really apreciate some insider knowledge.
I will be working at a hospital in North Adelaide, the kids will need schools; the eldest will need a job,( i check the Advertiser regurlarly, but we don't really know what he will actually be allowed to do!); the husband will be a stay at home dad, until he can find work that fits around the family! Which really means he will want someone to play golf with, go cycling with and share grocery costs
Looking at renting initially, perhaps you could suggest a decent agent???
My e-mail is janeeedwards@msn.com.
Thank you so much for your kind offer.
Hopefully see you just before x-mas/ new year
Jane
