why i am doing this!!

Hi there
my son has a blog and persuaded me to have one so that we can share our australian experiences with anyone who is interested!
firstly, i am lizzie (hello)... i am married to jeff and we have an 11 year old son who's called oli... we have been in australia now for 9 weeks and are very happy, albeit sometimes a tad bewildered with processes etc...!
my husband is an electrician and i am a secondary english teacher... we applied to emigrate to australia 4 years ago and it's been a long slog to get where we are. if you want to come to australia you REALLY need to want to come to australia... you must be determined, prepared for plenty of ups and downs and very, very focused on your aim. you mustn't lose sight of your goal as when you arrive all that pre-travel hassle disappears.  It does get replaced by more hassle over here, but at least you're actually HERE... yay!! more soon xx

  2. thanks! i did it because we have - on many occasions - thought, 'i wish i'd known that' and hope that, in sharing our experiences, someone else can benefit from our mishaps and experiences!
