anyone else moving over in June or thereabouts?

[Guest Benoli]

ok so the container has gone and the countdown is upon us, never thought this time would come but it has! We're finally moving over in June

 

Got nowhere to live, no jobs etc etc but hey, its all part of the process lol. We've got two boys aged 2 and 4 to keep us young as guess we left the breeding thing til late (39+46 yrs young we are).

 

So......anyone else heading over around the same time?

anyone want a few buddies so we don't all feel scared and lonely in our new life?

thought it would be good to maybe get in touch now so we can have some folk in the same position where we can have coffee, wine and whinging til we find our feet

 

​we're also aiming to live in the South in and around the Woodcroft, Flagstaff Hill, Hallett Cove area to give you a rough idea of where we might be (could end up on the moon for all we know!)

[Guest Benoli]

oh and you don't have to be the same age or have kids, just threw our details in there as it gives people an idea of what they could be mixing with

[Guest Benoli]

sooooooooooooo apart from the couple of PMs Ive got, no one else going over then? lol

[Guest Kel87]

Not moving over yet but just wanted to say good luck! It's very exciting.

I'm just awaiting my skills assesment and then onto visa

 

we'll be in a similar position to you, 2 young kids, no jobs, nothing! Also looking at the same areas as you.

 

good luck again!

[Guest klataylor]

We arrived two days ago. Shipping container left 22 April. We are staying in Hutt Street, in Adelaide and will be looking at renting around Dulwich/Norwood or Glenelg. The husband's job is in Dulwich and after 8 years in London of trillion hour tube commutes, he wants a ten minute drive to work.

No children but same age as you (ish). One persian cat, still in London but will be emigrating too in August and joining us in September. Add us to your contacts and keep in touch.

Hi, We land on 10th July this year - also no house or jobs etc! Myself, my husband our two boys (aged 2 1/2 years and 4 months - currently 2 months old) and my mother. Family are on PR visas (as long as youngest son's comes through in next 2 months!) mum is on visit visa until we can sort her out something permanently. Will be looking for friends and advice when we arrive - did 5 weeks there last summer to validate visas but will be in the same boat as the rest. Good luck look forward to meeting some of you once there. X

[DougM]

G'day guys, well there's quite a stream of you heading this way over the next couple of months. That's great news. Now, how many of you need to be met at the airport. I'm happy to meet and greet, then transport you to your temporary home, FREE of charge. PM Thewhitehouse for recommendations if necessary, met them 3 weeks ago and they are now settling in very nicely. I live in Morphett Vale, that's south of the city, but am willing to take you where ever in the metro area. Port Noarlunga is a beaut place for you to begin your new life, even if you move on later.

 

Here's hope to meet you later, Doug

[Guest cloudnine]

Hi Benoli,

 

We're coming over in September and like you we have left it late with having children. Our 2 little people are ages 6 & 4. We don't have jobs or a home sorted yet and It's a huge leap of faith !

 

Hope your move goes great and wood love to share a Coffee but prefrebly a bottle of wine when we arrive.

[Guest she]

Hi all! So nice to see so many people are coming around the same time and all the kids are around the same age! Really think it will help getting together. Thanks Benoli for starting this thread

DougM such a kind offer thank you very much, might just take you up on that offer!

Port Noarlunga does look really nice we booked our first 4 weeks rental there.

Good luck to everyone! It's going to be GREAT!

[Guest Banksy]

Don't forget us!

 

I arrive last week in July, wife & daughter arrive mid September. We're late 30's, daughter will be 5.

Just waiting for my 457 to be approved!

[snifter]

It seems to be a popular time of year to make the move this year We'll be over around then, give or take a few weeks and living in Glenelg. I'm an older Mum, 42 now and son is 5. Hubby is a bit younger and Adelaide is his hometown.
