 Lately I saw alot of posts about unhappiness with the move and the hubby and coping with the kids while hubby is working and house cleaning and etc etc etc. Who wanted to return to SA after a few days or weeks or months and why? Are there any that returned to SA and might go back to Australia? Are there any of you that never want to return to Australia?

The first three months was like a holiday for me. Then I started to miss my family and everything that was familiar. Our container wasn't even delivered, when we started to get quotes to sent it back. Then one morning I decided that I'm going to give Australia a chance. I am now glad I stayed and would never go back, not voluntarily.
We are bussy with PR and will be 2 years in Melbourne in September. I think it's just a mind change, but can understand that some people are not willing to start over. Cecile... |
