Sending you all Good thoughts for a lifetime of Good Health & Happiness living in Australia 🌟😊❤️
@@karekerry4362 thank you ☺️
UK is terrible now so I’m sure you have made the right decision
You guys look happy and I think you know that you've made a good investment for family's future happiness! I'm sure you'll find a beautiful house (not too far from the beach) to lay your roots down! 🏖🏡🐕
@@1BIGFROGGY thanks mate ☺️
Your bravery and honesty is admirable and a great trait to hand down to your kids
@@adamcarrigan5099 thank you, for sure!
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.
@@DavidCalvert-mh9sy love that mate 👌🏻
Biggest mistake you made was Queensland...
Better than communist Victoria
Some area, it was really >10 years ago
Even if you young, you can't even buy property here.
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 😢
@@allanahquinn7277 I hear ya. We did live in Sydney from 2017-2019 but headed back to UK for a few reasons but house prices were one of the big ticket ones.
You both seem more relaxed ... how many UK families wouldn't want the life you've both set up. Well done.
@@Delton05 thank you ☺️
We are from Canada 🇨🇦 living in Brissy on our boat
Australia 🇦🇺 is the best country that I’ve ever been to ❤
@@juliesm1 on a boat, that’s cool!
My family has been here from the beginning, English Heritage; It was better 30 years ago...
@@R0d_1984 I think it’s fair to say most places are vastly different now to 30yrs ago. UK is unrecognisable to what it was when I grew up, Australia is much more appealing
@@clewsosgiag I understand...
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!
@@Ergo-ji8dn thanks for your kind words and insight ☺️
Best of luck in Australia !
@@louisaklimentos7583 thank you ☺️
Its a tough gig moving a whole country. Very hard with kids. I hear you.
Thank you for your honesty. I've no doubt you will achieve your goals because you have the right mindset and work ethic. Pets are worth their weight in gold.💛
Welcome to the colony. I have Irish and pommy ancestors who arrived here in the second fleet. They also decided to stay, they didn't have a choice. We live in the lucky country it has everything from the deserts to the snowys, the best sandy beaches and free to live our lives.
@@grahamematthews388 I hear ya!
Welcome to Australia. Can't wait to see you do another video in 5 years and see how you are then
@@aimeelouise9973 thank you ☺️
So happy for you all. You definitely made the right decision going back. Lovely video. Look forward to part 2 ❤ xx
Central Coast NSW
Great to hear your journey has been mostly positive so far.
Thank you
The more white people in Australia the better ha ha,
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
Not British not European but white Australian ha ha
Republic Australia
Mate wtf are you saying ... Australia is an open and diverse people ... With a indigenous heritage.
@@galahad6001 mate wtf am I saying ha ha,
a historical fact that most if not all white Australians who's families have been born on Australian soil from the early 1780's and early 1800's are considered native to Australia under the naturalisation act of 1901
An we weren't ask or consulted on the mass immigration that took place after ww2 radically changing our demographics,culture and national identity
An a lot of us dont accept it an resent it,
An multi culturalism has destroyed Europe and the British isles,
An Australia will be next if we dont preserve it
Know go away culturally diverse Marxist
White people from another country is diverse enough for me ha ha
just don't bring left wing views or indians here
A few others...
Or Russians?
@@brianandrea3249 russians are fine, they are white
@@brianandrea3249 Nah Russians are welcome, minus the communists,
Honestly I think returning to UK after 2years helped me know where I wanted to be which was Australia.
@@lindaduffell4386 did you make it back down under?
Must be tuff...
Curious about your on-line name 'Clewso', my surname is Clews (from the UK) and I use Clewso as a nickname.
@@adrianclews3778 wowzers! There’s 2 of us 😳. Born in Watford mate. Surname is Clews. Not many of us about!
@@clewsosgiag It's not that common, that's why I asked. I originated from Stafford and been in Perth 15 years. Came out to Aussie when I was 50! Not easy at that age, but lovin it here.
