Thanks snifter and doubter, I have been in touch with an employment agent who has offered to help while I am still in the UK but we have decided we are moving in June regardless of whether I have a job offer or not. Taking the leap of faith....

Thanks doubter

Thanks Emmie I appreciate it

As the Aussies would say "Good Onya" for leaving. If anyone has anything constructive to say I would still like to hear from you. I haven't got the option to move to any other city because my wife's family lives in Adelaide and that is the purpose for our move otherwise I would stay in London.

Hi All, I am planning on moving to Adelaide on a Spouse Visa from London with my wife who is from Adelaide in May/June and have made a tentative attempt to find a job as an insurance broker. I haven't had much of a response although I have over 25 years experience in the industry. I would love to secure employment before I arrive but some of the feedback I have had is that I probably won't be taken seriously until I arrive. So I might have to take a risk and migrate without a job offer. Does anyone on this forum work in Insurance or can anyone recommend a reliable employment agent particularly those who specialise in insurance or financial services who might be able to help me Thanks in advance Paul

A bit warm - massive understatement. You are so English

He seemed slightly coy and said "it takes a bit of getting used, but it's ok"

I met Eddie years ago and my mum said to him "Do you like being famous?" He is a lovely down to earth guy

Thanks OKMorris that's very helpful.

I'm booked on one of those flights but haven't heard anything from Malaysian Airlines yet

Hi, I've flown Emirates twice from Gatwick in the last 2 years. No problems at all and no complaints from me, better than Malaysian who I went with before. Also if you can time the flights to land in Adelaide in the evening local time it helps to alleviate the jet lag.

That is definately where i want to be living

I am applying for the same visa and I have been told it takes 9 to 10 months. I applied in July and I am expecting it to be granted in April. So if you apply now Suzy you might just get the visa by the end of this year

There was talk in the press of Adelaide United playing Liverpool in an exhibition match in July this year. I am planning on leaving behind my football loyalties in England and following Adelaide United when I move over. I went to see a game in February when I was visiting and loved it. Great atmosphere and a good standard of football.

Thanks for sharing, lovely photos
