Being Yorkshire makes no difference at all here ;-)

My accent is very strong and some of the locals have trouble with it - spesh after a few beers!

Ask away..........

It is a whole world different to what you see on Neighbors ;-)
Life can be very tough as you settle at first but it gets better.
Finding friends can be hard,we have been lucky and met some good folk.We also meet up with people from the migration forums now and again.
Recently we have met some smashing people (two families) who I'm sure will be life long friends :-)

We did come out for a reccie trip,the second time I came over I kissed the ground as I got off the plane - I knew it was home.

I normally advise people to come over for a reccie trip (not a holiday) - it does help to give you an idea.But I've met many people who have setttled well without the trip.

Hell - it's an adventure!! - treat it so :-)

I don't regret abandoning ship.

Hi Ryan and other Yorkshire folk, actually any fellow Poms. We have been here in Adealaide a few years now and have never looked back. We are more than happy to meet and share experiences. We live in the South of Adelaide. Come from sunny Sheffield. Never visited before arriving and left all family and friends behind.
Yell out if you have any questions, :lol: we will be more than happy to help.

Cheers

Vicky and Dave
