What a lovely down to earth family, getting to the nitty of gritty of moving. Really helpful. Wish them all the best. Move videos like this Ross! Love your channel.
Another great story, and a very happy and successful journey! They have so much information to share and help others too! A smaller Central Coast town near a beach is an ideal place to feel at home in Australia - clever! Sydney is too busy and expensive, and very competitive! Wollongong has far more uni students and is a younger surfer lifestyle! The family story idea is clever, especially in Australia as we are such caring people, and I would appreciate photo evidence! 🤗
I really enjoy hearing the stories of new arrivals! I'm in Sydney and don't drive due to medical problems. I have some great chats with ride share drivers from all over the world. Hearing how much they love Australia is so inspiring. Cheers
Welcome to Australia from a Welsh expat living in the Hunter Valley.The Central Coast and the Hunter are great places to live .Best beaches un a Australia.Enjoy!!
Welcome to Oz folks. The Central Coast is a very nice area, know it well..I know who LLB is; he was a guest judge on a home improvement show several years ago
@@ThatJohnstonLife Yet what I mean is you traveling to BROOME FROM YOUR HOME. yet back in great Britian travel from the most southern to the most northern of Scotland how long will it take.
I’m a long in the tooth Aussie - in NSW - and I pronounce taco the same as you Ross. All my friends and family say it the same way. I think “tacko” might be a QLD thing. As for data or dahta that is a personal preference. Again I use the same pronunciation as you do. Very enjoyable video - glad to see such great quality people coming to Oz. Keep up the good work.👍
Love this video!! On the senco department in primary schools, did you mean it's just called something else or they don't offer it at all?, I've been trying to find info for support with Autism in Australia primary schools🙆🏽♀️
British won't travel far for recreation, but will commute hours for work. Australians won't commute far but will for recreation. Since moving to the UK I've never driven as much for work.
My husband was born in NSW and his Maltese parents emigrated back to Malta when he was a baby. Since his is basically australian-born, does he technically even nwed a visa? And do I (his spouse) and kids do? Do you know what our options are in this case?
For your husband it will depend on if he already has an Australian birth certificate, passport and what year he was born, it used to be if you were born in Australia you automatically got citizenship but later the rules changes and now being born here doesn't automatically give citizenship, so he would need to check his status. As for the kids, if your husband is an Australian citizen, then your kids would probably be entitled to citizenship by decent as long as you process the citizenship application before they are 16 years old For you as his spouse, he would need to apply for a spousal visa. I'm not an expert in this area, but have personally been through some of the more complicated processes, I'd suggest you discuss the details with a immigration agent, they should know the dates when the rules changed and guide you what applications each of you need make. The spousal visa for my wife took about 2 years, and a few thousand $ with the immigration agent, but most of that 2 years she was able to stay in Australia on a bridging visa, a family member did the process without an immigration agent and it took her 5 years to get her American husband a bridging visa, so the immigration agent is worth every cent unless you don't value your time.
Awh I relate so much to this couple. And I’m currently with down under centre. Can I ask what their instagrams are so I can connect with them? Would be good to connect with them.
Wow the paperwork really has gone up since my parents did it. Mind my Dad's options were which was the first boat out of Europe to Canada, Argentina, USA or Australia. Luckily it was Australia. My wife's father actually personally visited a long list of countries before choosing Australia. The family then cruised down from Hong Kong to Australia as a holiday. Nobody migrates that way anymore. Luggage allowance sure beats flying!
Very interesting hearing this family's journey and hearing their experience. Just some questions whats there Insta account and I love the idea of Design box (cant find the website :( )
Welcome to Australia. 😊❤️🇦🇺

Just a point - the lady called Wollongong, Woll-ongong but we pronounce it Wool-ongong, like Woolloomooloo. Or just the ‘Gong.

I like the furniture company to avoid choosing and arguing idea !
It's a great idea isn't it?
If you live on the central coast, you should go to a central coast mariners match. It’s family friendly so you can take the kids.
Great inspiring video! Thank you
What a lovely family! ❤
They are!
Congratulations,
Your entire family seems happy.
Great chat. I’m currently using Down Under Centre, they have been really great so far!
Hope you make it if you would like to come to Australia I think that’s it. Good luck
We are currently going through the process I’m a fleet manager and my mrs is a child care centre manager just waiting for skills assessment results.

well with Australia there so much to see like going to every beach will take you thirty years while in Great Britain how far can you get in a car
Depends on how much fuel you have I guess

How ironic. I’m from one of the areas (UK) that you mentioned! What a small world we live in lol.
Data is straight from Latin. In Oz we pronounce it as DahTah.
DayTa is the character in Star Trek: Next Gen, because that’s its name.

"Tacko" is a common pronunciation for New Englanders in the NE of America, the rest of us say Tok-O.
Love these vids Ross.

They deliver learning support slightly differently to the UK. It's not called SEN

She spoke a lot for them …
Every British couple is fond of Australia.
