agree with 24609. Some posts on here, particularly in the beginning were quite negative and would have been easy to doubt a move to Oz was the right option. However, it does seem to be the same naysayers (which the UK most definitely has itself). The job is the job and i think you'll stumble across both new and the same issues/opportunities as you do back home. Which leaves the only variable in my mind of whether i want to live in Australia or not. I dont think anyone of us would have applied if that probably wasnt the most appealing factor in all of this
