Luke and Robs Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi Everyone,I also seemed to miss the introduction part of the website but have been so intrigued by some of the info and comraderie!We started our enquiry into emigrating in November 2007, were accepted by Teaching Australia in July 2008, and are hoping to have our VISAS lodged by the end of this week so we still have a long way to go. Another 10 months or so but we are so looking forward to our new life in Aus! We are hoping to do a rekkie in June next year.Luke and I are ex-teachers (like most teachers in SA). Luke has an architectural-draughting business specialising in CAD etc and I work for Pam Golding Properties as a property consultant. We are not sure whether we will go back to teaching or not but will cross that bridge when we get there!Thanks for your inspiration and knowledge. We look forward to a long and happy journey with you all!Luke and Robs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Fellow KZN- and "one of them")We also have a chocolate brown lab who is the light of our lives! We are trying to find a happy home for him and his sweetheart, Hayley (Wheaten). Don't know how we are going to part with our babies! They are madly in love and inseparable and need to find an enthusiastic ball thrower and owners who will spoil them as much as we do. Any ideas?
