I came back from Rhodesia in 1980. I truly believed we had a chance here.
I have a son and his family in Australia. What he still remembers is the fact that as a ten year old he had to be taught how to handle a 9mm pistol to help mummy when daddy is flying.
My daughter and her family is thinking.......the usual stuff like crime and education etc.
We now qualify for the parent visa and my forms are going in!
I have tried to retire to my farm but that is another long sad story.
Like mentioned in another post: I too cry for my beloved countries.
