Tracey Walker Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi All, just heard this morning that our Visa's have been approved. We are a family of four, two children a girl aged 11 and a boy aged 9, hubby and myself. Hubby will be setting off for Sydney first, we will join him in June. Any advice on rentals, Catholic schools etc will be great. Look forward to starting our new life in Australia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
