...make sure you want to emmigrate because you want to go somewhere, not to escape somewhere is the first piece of advice i would give you

^^^^ Absolutely the best piece of advice anyone could give you.

Beware of the grass being greener on the other side of the fence.

Poverty:
having lived in two different countries I would war you like RR has said, grass isnt always greener, and it could possibly open your eyes that england isnt all bad after all. There is a reason why everyone wants to move here, and its not about the benefits for everyone  :signLOL:

Dont let us put you off though, nothing ventured, nothing gained. The best times of my life werent spent in this country, and I didnt even have a fast a car  :jumping:

I will be leaving at some point in my life also, again.

gaz b:
I went to oz when I was 23 for a year. played semi pro football and bummed about a bit. Really glad I did it (sold my mk2 big bumper GTI to get there). I think if I had family there I would have stayed. as it was I felt a bit homesick so came home a bit early.

Awesome place but a totally different way of life. I was in Frankston just outside of Melborne. :wink:

My company actually offered me a transfer to Sydney a few weeks ago but the wife was having none of it!  :sick:

The constant dripping of rain on my head is slowly driving me mental!

My advice would be to take a fact finding holiday first and scope out the place before selling up here. It's not for everybody! :happy2:

....Wifeys can be so conventional and dull sometimes! Fear of the unknown instead of a sense of adventure, I reckon. I had a similar experience with my (now ex) wife: An opportunity to move to Vancouver and she didn't want to go. English girls, eh! I should have stayed with the Venezuelan one - Filthy rich family too. The exact science of hindsight.

mortygttdi:
i really dont want to bring my daughter up in this sinking ship guys so ive set myself a target which is before she goes to her high/collage school say 3-5 years. I want to be over there and settled, i'm going to look through the trades tomorrow and then see about poss courses i could take?

I'm just in the process of sorting out all our finances, so all we will have left is the mortgage so we can sell the house in the 4th year and use the £50k or so to buy an house and any thing else needed over there.

What am i likely to get for around £50k ??

Darren :happy2:
