    I moved from the North East of England to Cyprus, we lived there for 3.5 years and returned to the UK last December. Came back for schooling and I want to go back to Uni. We loved it and I would never let the fact you have children put you off. I did it with 4 children and at the time they were 2,4,6,7. We wont stay in the UK for good......we will move again but who knows where !!!!!

    Yeah, kind of a "niche" group of people. You were really specific in your original post.

    Have you tried finding some Ex-Pats websites/forums? I'll bet there are all kinds of Interwebz forums for people trying to immigrate from one country to another.

    Or, keep bumping this one. Things move off the "recent" page pretty fast on this forum.

    Can you try to learn a skill that would be needed in Aus? Then move when you are both done?

    We cannot afford to give up our jobs to get the experience and the cost of doing them courses are so much :(

    You do open up a big can of worms when you emigrate. Grass is always greener etc.

    It is generally a bit easy to get in to NZ, which is seen as the backdoor to Australia. Once you are permanent residents of NZ, you are free to move to Aus.
