We've now been in Australia for 6 months! Can't believe it, but it's true. but still fresh off the boat, as my new Aussie mates jokingly say...
What you want:
a new life in Australia
What you think:
It's going to be tough, wonderful, adventurous, happy, sad, hard work and fun
What they DON'T tell you:
you're right ;-)
It's all of the above, but not a single second of regret having made the move. Things are, of course, very different. It IS a new country, with a very different culture and ways of doing things, but it is also a civilised, first-world, english speaking, proud, patriotic, economically sound place to live.
There's loads of work if you want it and very few problems compared to good old SA.
To illustrate:
2 weeks ago the front page news carried the headline 'Golf widows unhappy' or something similar.
THAT'S exactly why we moved here - if the biggest news they could suck off the end of their thumbs was that the men are playing too much golf, and it's THE headline of the day, we (Australians) have no worries! I shudder to think what the news was in South Africa...
Loving it! Come on over...

He's right.

Hi,
I am thinking of moving to Oz and was wondering which agency you used and how long it takes to get there. Do you need to have funds in your account when moving there?Eager to leave SA.
No offense to you all, but i wish less foreigners would come to OZ. We have 21 million people in a country where 70% or more live on the coast line. We are running out of resources and the job queue is getting longer because of the world economic situation as it is. I realise that your former home might not be all that great, but i wish that Australia was you last destination interest.
