hi dean and sharon, sorry cant help on the oz side of things, your one step ahead of us , weve never been, just know its the right thing for us to do, yes were worried about getting work & weather we will find the right place to live , if the kids will get on ok, but we think its a risk worth taking, at least we wont regret not trying, i think the adelaide clocks went back and ours forward so its 8 1/2 hrs difference, when they wake up you'll get some better answers, good luck

Hiya Dean and Sharon.

 

I've lived here a while now and seen a lot of changes.

 

It has become much more expensive to live here now so I'd be wary of thinking it will be "cheap"here - if I get the drift of your post.

 

House prices and the cost of living have risen sharply in the last few years.

 

You can have a wonderful quality of life here though and it is a great place to bring kids up.

 

Best be forewarned.

 

Cheers
