    You both have definitely made the right choice I have a mate who did exactly the same thing as you guys without kids after a year and a bit went back to the UK, should have stayed another year and move to a differrent location in Oz and they would have had their Ozzie passports, but after having two kids in the UK they wish they stayed in Oz especially for the kids or at least had the passports to have that option now that choice is gone forever, I'll leave that story with you.

    Glad to hear you both are having a go. I'm a Canadian living in Australia since the mid 1960s. After 7 years I went back to North America, (I have relatives in both Canada and the United States). With Australian wife in tow, I reconnected with family and friends. What became very apparent to me was that I had changed, and in a lot of ways for the better. Whereas those who I had left behind emigrating to Australia seemed to be 'stuck in place'. After 4 weeks visiting, it felt so good to get on a QANTAS jet back to Aus.

    So pleased you have settled in. Queensland is beautiful but unfortunately house prices have really gone crazy there in recent years. As a born Sydneysider I would advice new immigrants to visit Sydney but look at Adelaide and Perth to settle in. Sydney house prices are ridiculous and when it comes for your children to purchase their first home they are saddled with a massive debt unless they move away 😢

    I am glad you are feeling more at home in Australia now. It is a very big move with lots of emotions along with all the changes you have endured. Well done for getting through the harder times.
    I tend to agree that it is easier if you move when you are younger and without children or with very young children not yet at school. This allows you greater flexibility especially if you have PR from the start.
    Also, given your stage of life and children’s ages, it would probably have been better to sell your UK house so you could buy here as soon as you found a suburb or area you liked. Unfortunately, since Covid began, house prices here in south east Queensland have increased enormously - during Covid we had many people move here from southern states as we had very few Covid lockdowns here and more people were encouraged or able to work from home. Once the international border opened we had much immigration too so it has been about 4 years of continuous high growth and doesn’t seem to be slowing down much! I cannot believe the high prices of property in our area but we are only 6 km from the CBD.
    I agree that the weather does make a huge difference and allows you to undertake many outdoor activities and little adventures with the children. I think that being more in touch with nature and outdoors a lot makes a difference to your mood as well as your lifestyle options. When I travelled the UK and Europe twice for 6 months each time during their Spring, summer and early autumn, I found I really missed the sun and being able to be outside frequently in nice weather. Loved the experiences though and would do it again.
    Best wishes!

    But remember us white Australians who's families have been born on Australian soil since 1780's and the early 1800's are considered native to Australia under the naturalisation act of the Australian constitution of 1901
