Thank you!! 😀 the workplace has actually changed so Oli will only be 20 mins away from Chelsea now so we are looking it that area for sure as so many people have said what a great area it is 😀

Thank you we are so excited

Thank you 😀 will definitely visit Queensland

Thank you 😀

Hey, thank you for watching 😀 you can book one day through undercover tourist

Thank you so much! 😊

We will definitely visit Brisbane and Sydney as they look amazing! We can move states with the job so will see where we end up but we want to try Melbourne first 😀

@oko_adventures I'm probably harsh just for personal reasons. Who knows someone voted Melbourne city the most liveable at one point. Good luck 🤣🤙🇦🇺

Haha thank you 😀

Thank you 😀 a lot of people have said that to us haha x

Hopefully we will find some good stuff off Facebook marketplace 😀

We have looked at Emirates the premium seems good value for money we are leaning towards flying with them over any others

It looks like a stunning place, where would you suggest we visit?

Emirates does seem to be the best and the one we keep looking at. Is Singapore airlines abit more basic? Think there’s more to do in Singapore

We didn’t know that. We have seen a few houses with separate rooms for washing machines and an extra sink. That’ll be nice to have. 😄

Hey, thank you 😀 we didn’t know that I can imagine the prices increase over them dates will keep that in mind

Thank you 😀 I think we are leaning towards Singapore

@@oko_adventures I have done both a few times we lived only an hours drive from Dubai in Sohar Oman for a year and often went to Dubai for weekends. , If you only stay in the airport Singapores Changi airport probably has more things to do to keep you occupied. Both are great places for a longer layover as there are heaps of things to do in both including for the kids. I dont think you could go wrong with whichever one you choose its more about whether you prefer to do the longest leg first or second. Singapore can be hot and humid and Dubai although it probably gets hotter is more a dry heat and not as uncomfortable. Travelling at this time of year both those cities are in the northen hemisphere so its probably not going to be an issue. Doha would be my 3rd choice and then only if I was in transit. Whichever way you decide to go the decison to have a couple of days layover travelling with young children is definately a wise one - good luck and safe travels.

@Davo-i1s thank you this is really helpful I think we would wanted to get the longest part of the journey over 😅

We both want a automatic so that’s good to know 😀

Thank you so much for this message we are definitely going to embrace the way of life in Australia 🇦🇺 we will definitely be carful with the sun we always wear factor 50 even in winter in the UK sorry to hear about your friends nephew x

So excited to get there and explore 😀

Thank you 😀

Thank you for watching 😀 that weather sounds perfect 👌

They do look pretty from what we have seen excited to explore when we get there 😀

Hey, thanks for all that information 😀 that’s useful especially about the weather and Medicare will pack some winter clothes. We have checked with schools luckily there will only be small fees no more than 1000 dollars a year

Thank you 😀

From what we have seen on KZbin it looks a lot like the UK very green and lots of parks and gardens which look amazing! Excited to enjoy the lifestyle 😀 thanks for commenting nice to hear that from someone who lives in Melbourne

The great ocean road looks amazing! Excited to explore the beaches

Hey, thank you so much for all that information 😀 we haven’t looked into the west of the city yet but will check it out and add it to our list of possible suburbs. We need to remember that about football as our son wants to join a soccer team not football 😅 thank you for watching and commenting we are getting to know so much more about Melbourne and where to go etc 😀

@@oko_adventures oh don't get me wrong, football (soccer) is extremely popular as a participation sport, it is just that we have a fairly weak national competition, that can't compete with AFL or Rugby League in the Northern states. He will have no trouble finding a team to play with. I only mentioned the west, as it has been a bit maligned for years but a bit further west than we are, is the fastest growing area in Australia. Where I live we are on the largest coastal wetland on the bay that stretches for about 50 k south to Geelong and the housing is about 200k less than the same type of suburb in the east on the bay. Also the roads are much less crowded. Anyway will watch your channel with interest. We were all migrants to Australia once and for you guys to move halfway around the world is to be admired. Good luck with the adventure.

@geoffmaloney2717 We never thought about that area of Melbourne before as we don’t know much about it but will check it out for sure 😀 thank you that’s so nice of you to say we really want to make this work wether it’s a temporary move or permanent 🇦🇺

The only problem with the west is going to be getting to Bayswater for work i lived in Werribee about 10 minutes south of Altona and I worked in Altona , during peak hours it would take me anything between 45 minutes to 1 hour to get to work considering you would still then have to negotiate the traffic over the westgate bridge and out the other side i wouldnt recommend the west for your current situation .Nothing wrong with the west just the traffic can be horrendous particularly trying to get to the other side of Melbourne . A couple of spots that might be worth a look would be Frankston 49 minutes to Bayswater and right on the beach . Or another approach would be Rowville a lot closer to Bayswater not so close to the beach but has cycle paths everywhere even up into ferntree gully and puffing billy ect .Also as someone said the beaches in the bay are i guess what you would call almost safety beaches no surf just small waves in most cases a gentle slope into the water ect very good for young kids but not for surfers lol .Hope things work out and im a new sub so looking forward to following what you get up to .

@@arfyseal oh didn't realise the work was in Bayswater, you are correct, would be too far.

So excited to visit both them Queensland and Brisbane 😀

Everything about Melbourne sucks, but especially the people 😅

Thank you for all that information 😀 it really helps. We have sold our house now as really don’t want the hassle of renting 🏡

@@oko_adventures Just to be a bit nerdy as someone who travels several times a year to Europe when you book your flights try and get an A380 on all legs - Singapore, Qatar, Emirates, Qantas and Asiana all use them for some, not all, legs here. Qatar, BA and Emirates squash an extra economy seat in their B777s (3,4.3) unlike Singapore (3,3,3). Check seat maps on Aerolopa. BA only fly to Sydney. Join Qantas or Velocity (Virgin Australia) frequent flyer programs. You get Velocity points on Singapore and Qatar; Qantas points on Emirates, BA, Qantas and Qatar. If you sign up for a Woolworths rewards card Qantas FF is free. Velocity free any way. You might get enough points for a cheap eastern Australia flight. I always break my journey in Singapore -bit expensive but most organised, cleanest and safer countries in world. Great, cheap food in hawker centres & great public transport. Breaking it in Dubai for me is too close to Europe. Just an opinion.

@RJS4287 thank you so much this is so helpful! We were looking at where to stop whether we stay in Singapore or Dubai for a couple of nights also we having been looking for flights with extra leg room so that really helps us 😀

@@oko_adventures If legroom is critical & you are feeling adventurous I always fly to Europe via Singapore. I use Singapore Airlines budget subsidiary Scoot from/to Oz to Singapore. Their Scoot Plus seat is same size as a Premium Economy (38 inch legroom) but for an economy price. But v average food and byo video. Then book a fare onwards from Singapore but always leave minimum of days break plus pay for $40 flexibility option. Economy fares to Europe on full service airlines have come down but you pay at least twice for Premium and 3 to 4 times for business. KZbin has an experience video on every airline and plane..

@RJS4287 thank you we will look into that 😀 we definitely want extra leg room with it being such a long flight. What do you think go Scoot?

Thank you 😀 that’s all so helpful especially about winter clothes. We plan on visiting Sydney and other states as much as we can while we are there 🌅

That’s amazing! I think that’s why we chose Melbourne we had a few options of different states but once we did our research we all thought Melbourne would suit us more 😀

Thank you 😀 sounds like an amazing place with so much much to do! Will also look at them places you mentioned ☺️

@@oko_adventures l live in a western suberb called (taylors Lakes) easy to drive around 80klmph roads 2 lanes each side no traffic jams and everything you need .check out on maps. taylors Lakes hotel and (watergardens shopping centre) 224 shops and services .

Thank you ☺️ they are called Ernest and Young

Thank you ☺️ will definitely visit Queensland it looks stunning there

1 million apparently left due to dictator Dan and COVID Nazis 😅

Hey, thank you so much for watching and what a lovely comment 😀 made us both feel happy reading that thank you ☺️ we are looking forward to the sport for sure 🏏

Thank you, where did you move to? Not a good time to be in Uk at the moment either

@ i am in Croatia now. Good time to start any business here at the moment. Labour shortage in all sectors. No competition.

¨Dobrý den, odkud jste prosím? Vaše řeč je velmi zajímavá a při vší úctě ji nemohu nikam zařadit.

Hi, we are from Nottingham in England

@@oko_adventures Tak to je gól, já nemůžu určit ani angličtinu a za to se Vám moc omlouvám. Opravdu ale, nejprve jsem si říkal, že je to angličtina ale to jsem záhy zamítl že ani nevím proč. Opravdu omluvte moji nevzdělanost a přeju Vám hezkou a krásnou návštěvu České republiky.

Thank you

@@oko_adventures You´re welcome.

what are they going to show you , some sheep in a paddock .

@ Bad behaviour

Welcome to Australia🇦🇺

@hyacinthperalta8349 thank you 😀

@hyacinthperalta8349 thank you ☺️

Avoid Melbourne entirely 😅

Thank you so much! That’s so helpful 😀

I am an European who lived in Mordialloc, Chelsea, Carrum Downs 15 years long, when I came in 2005 it was very nice area to live, after Covid this area become to overcrowded, expensive and with the expensive and terrible overcrowded trains was not nice to commute from CBD every day anymore. The ocean is always cold so it is good just for walk around but not really to swim there. In 2022 I was so frustrated from Melbourne and its wokeness that I sold everything and moved to Brisbane and I like it here! Melbourne became a place not to be, full of 3rd world immigrants, expensive, homelessness, corrupted government, terrible traffic, changeable weather all the times, you need to heat your place at least 6 months, huge tax and diying CBD. I do not suggest to you to move to City of Casey, Western Suburbs as you will live in little India, the Bayside is most likely the best, however the best is not even be in Melbourne! This city is done, however good luck! This is my view as an European not as an Australian as Australians might be not able to see many things as people from Europe. Good Luck in Melbourne ! I warned you!

@@oko_adventures no problem! I currently live in Frankston South so familiar with the areas along the bay :-) Goodluck!

@@jeanvonbarberode2377 great to hear from a Europeans prospective. I’ve lived in variety of suburbs in Perth, Sydney and down on the Mornington Peninsula / South East of Melbourne. Maybe I should try out Brisbane 😎

@@jeanvonbarberode2377 I loved Cairns even though every thing eats you alive we were told!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So excited for Kmart 😆

That sounds like perfect weather 😀 thank you for watching and commenting x

Hopefully not too long now 😀🇦🇺
