Damien commented on Stephanie Bennett's blog post 'Wanted Down Under BBC1'

Hi Caroline. Sorry about the rant, I think I was just disappointed about what Perth has become after being there recently. I left there 9 years ago, have been back there a few times in between, and was planning on going back to live with my wife and…

Interesting to hear Damien's comments re Perth. What a shame that what was a gorgeous little city (we went about 10 years ago) has been so over developed, and is now so expensive that Aussies can't afford to live there. This is not something you'd k…

I'm an Australian living in the UK. I watch the program and it makes me laugh at how inaccurate it is and the quality of the areas they show. They must be in cahoots with the Australian Government to encourage more people to come over, but as a Pert…

It would be interesting if they did a revisited programme to see how many people actually ended up making the move and the problems they encountered on the way. It would be a more realistic look at the process.

Steph, Practice makes perfect. If you got a 6.5 last time then I'm sure you can get a 7 next time. Keep plugging away. There's no limit to how many times you can take the test (provided you can afford it).

Stephanie Bennett commented on Kay Lyness's blog post 'Anyone know once you get a visa how long do you have timewise before you have to actually emigrate?'

You have to activate a permanent visa within 9months of its date, so you'll need to get all your families visas stamped. You then have 5 years to actually move over there. Steph

I watch it everyday and also have watched all past years series too, when the one lady was a nurse it really interested me. The work out there looks fantastic, they made it sound very appealing and that jobs are very easy to come by....great!!! But what they're still faili… Continue

IELTS test over with...phew!!!

Hi everyone,

Sat my IELTS test yesterday. It was vile!! The academic test is brain numbing...and having to not talk for nearly 3 HOURS!!! The actual test wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the time constraints, especially when they keep telling you how much time is left and you're not even half way through the questions!!!!!!! The speaking part was easier, 15 mins of talking about why I like shopping for clothes and friendships. But it's amazing how a topic that you could normally talk easy ab… Continue

Changing Driving Licences to Australian

Hi! After reading several pieces of information and other peoples comments, it appears that you have to switch your British Driving Licence to Australian within 3 months of obtaining your visa. Can anyone shed some light on this information please? What happens if you can't get over there in the 3 months, or your house hasn't sold, or the timings not right to leave within the 3 months stated? What happens then? Would you have to complete a full driving test again then if its over 3 months??? I'm… Continue
