Tomorrow, I’m going to put minutes on my phone so I can call a few places there this Social Security office landlordsS

I want to move there. I get SSI from the government here in USA. I will have to sell everything. Just take my clothes, laptop and guitar, but I want to make sure I’m still getting ssi over there just live somewhere affordable. I’m single with no kids age 42. I’ve been thinking that I might have to live out of a hotel until I can find a place all the hotels I seen over the Internet are way out of my price range, but I am cleaning on moving there. I want to take a flight probably American Airlines.

Very nice

We love your channel, your inspiration for us just starting out ❤️

Great videos guys

I like these people common sense aussie

Are you guys ok? No videos for 4 months!! I am sooo curios to see your new house back in the coast!!😊

This is not a video about raising kids in Australia, this is a video about raising kids in Queensland

I spun the globe and placed a finger on the globe where I will work to change my life and move to one day just like the movies and it landed on mooloolaba I can’t even pronounce it right but omg God was with me when I made my choice!!!!

Nice to see you again Manildra violet sterilises

My dream since I was a kid

I want to move to Australia from Nigeria

OMG just caught up with your videos. I've been here over 40 years and love this country. Can't believe you said people watch Aussie TV shows when they want to emigrate here. I did that in the 70s, Certain Women was the show i watched, Neighbours was in the future. Make the move you will never regret it. Love Australia

I came here in 1977. I had to work for a year at a hospital in Melbourne and then they paid my airfare back. Hated the hospital but made life long friends from that place. Got a job at the Royal Melbourne Hospital after my first year and loved it. Never looked back, also met an Aussie man. Still with him in 2024 and a grandmother. Love this country.

Hello from the US! We heard Australian immigration laws just changed- stricter- which might be actually good for Australia- stricter screening. Australia needs families like yours! 😊 Any chance we could see your new house? Is it a Queenslander? I am originally from Northern Europe, came to US via marriage- I am Registered Nurse and work for US military- 3 max 4 years, and I will retire. Probably will go back to Europe. Australia is my dream - to retire in Byron Bay 😊 But my only option is yo find some long lost relative advanced age to come yo care for, or- to marry some older Byron Bay resident 😂 I am joking 😊 I looove your vlog! Keep it up!! I want to see more of Australia un your blogs, your town, other towns, your new castle, too😊

Your videos are truly inspirational!!

Hello !! Thanks for the videosss!!! Could you tell me is the home crisis and economy crisis so bad in Australia as they present it in the news ?

Thank you for your KZbin channel. I now have a clearer understanding of the law of attraction ( vision board ), and I also learned more about Australia from your educational content. I really appreciate your videos, and I hope that in the future you can create more high-quality videos about daily life in Australia.

Thank you for your channel, which has been tremendously helpful as I prepare to move to Australia with my beloved. Everything in Australia appears entirely novel to me - it feels like a second birth. Your channel has been an invaluable resource, and I am truly grateful. I sincerely hope that my new journey in Australia will be beautiful and filled with an abundance of good fortune.

So glad you’re still doing videos guys!! I’m coming over soon!!! Ahhhh

You seem really great couple, like made for each other. Just unrelated question, was Lily’s father OK with her moving to Australia?

Where are you in Australia?

Please stop talking in that hybrid accent.

Cute

Thank you for sharing this informative video. May I please ask you which state are you in and how big is the land? We are in a process of buying a 4 acres land in WA but not very far from CBD. We know nothing about how to maintain but wanted to have a peaceful life and a bigger space for our children. We need to start from the scratch😊.

Apart from farming, what are other possible sources to generate income residing in a hobby farm?

English people are always running away to Australia for the longest and think its a bed of roses, Australians are not as tolerant as you british are and they are very outspoken and direct. Australia has thier own way of life .

Come back to youtube 🙏🙏

Just got a job offer and in the process of ahpra/visas/all the paperwork 😅 can't wait for this view ❤

It’s been 2 months… when can we expect another video?

People in the UK think the grass is greener on the other side as many English people are running away to Australia, Australians are not so tolerant and open minded they are very outspoken and more direct than English people even though most in Australia can trace thier history back to England and Ireland they have thier own way of life and traditions . Australia has thier own issues with high rent homelessness and high cost of living and many in Australia are fed up of new commers .

Magpies are the absolute true terror of Australia. Snakes leave you alone if you give them some respect. Magpie season is the true terror!!!!😂😂 Aussies eat chip butties too, you’ve just got to be 50 plus 👍

you need new pants

Where's this

Best thing I ever did was get a piece of dirt. Retired on a government pension, skint and happy as Larry. Time flies by, never enough time to do everything, - so let it go. The stuff to be done will still be there tomorrow. Best advice I can ever give is start collecting machinery that will lighten the work load. The older you get, the less physical lifting you can do. I bought a property that had been left derelict for 20 years for less than the GV. First up was a 3 ton Kobelco digger that had seen better days very cheaply. 3 years later and the property is cleared of the regrowth ( some 60' high trees rooted out). Then came an old 25 y.o. 30 hp Kubota tractor for a song, but it had a slasher. The grass is easy to maintain sitting down and just driving. Next up was a disc plough that wasn't really necessary so sold on for more than I paid. Then came the rotary hoe which got beaten to death and paid itself off in the first year by growing peppers and chillies., enough to buy a new one. The shelter belt trees are long overdue for topping, 30 year old casuarina, excellent firewood, so a 40 ton ram wood splitter keeps the cook happy and in pocket money selling firewood at the gate. Just invested in a 70hp Lovol orchard tractor as we are putting in a fig orchard. Man is that a beast! Does everything from slashing, rotary hoe, log hauling, post hole borer, spraying you name it. Easy to buy new. The payments are the same as smoking a pack of fags a day, so gave up smoking. No brainer. The one other thing on a lifestyle block is having friends. I mean real friends, you know the type, a friend in need? When they need a hand,- over you go. When you need a hand, they turn up and bring the barbie and beer too. So what if it is half an hours drive? You make a day of it and bring the kids too. Ever seen the joy of a 5 y.o. operating a digger? They all make a beeline for that tired old darling . Heaven - under close scrutiny. Live off 100 bucks a week and lack for nothing. Lonely? - no chance. In fact visitors are a PIA sometimes when they drop in at the wrong time. They know that I have not got time to stop and natter. That comes after they have given me a hand to finish the current project. They love it and keep coming back for more. Living off grid is liberty in its purest form.

Here's my tip for anyone considering an international move: first determine how your going to split up the things you have now (1) take with you(ship) , (2) storage in home country (paid storage or with relatives) (3) sell. then buy coloured sticky note pads (post it notes, come in different colours) and a note book and some clear packing tape, on the first page write what each colour means, i.e. pink=sell, blue=store yellow=ship. then on the next few pages write a colour at the top of the page, when you assemble a box stick a sticky note on it with the correct colour, write a number on it with a thick black marker, then cover it with the clear tape so it's well secured to the box, write the box number in the book and everything you put in the box write down next to that number in the book. - When the shipping company or movers or whoever come to your house you to help you move stuff, just tell them take boxes with this colour to storage / shipping etc. - When you get asked by the shipping company tells you the destination countries customs needs an inventory, you just photocopy/ scan / photograph with your phone the pages for the colour tags of the boxes you shipped - When the boxes arrive at your new home in the destination country (because this will be 3-6 months later), you know if all the boxes arrived (or which one is missing) and you know exactly which box has which items - when your emptying out the stored boxes in your original country in a few years time (because your sick of paying storage fees or your family member wants them out) you know before you get there what is in each box so you can have a plan what your going to do before you get there instead of having to open boxes to remember what you have stored

We have been here almost 2 years. It does take time to settle. Leaving family and friends in uk was difficult but they have loved watching our journey settling in to our new life

You're immigrants not expats. Seem liek very nice of a couple but it's important to acknowledge that.

Good morning 😊. I'm in NZ 😢 and use Woolworths Everyday rewards. Every week we get boosts and Gold card for pensioners. We only started this process in January this year. I have literally saved hundreds of dollars and received so many $15 vouchers. I think its about six now 😊. I buy only specials and boosts. The boosts this week are phenomenal. 10xpoints when spend $15 or more on health and beauty. 200 points on spend $10 or more on fruit and vegetables.❤Boom🎉. Another $15 dollar voucher thanks. That's two in my kitty for next petrol day. I love my everday rewards 😅❤😅. I make all my own bread and baked goods. Grow and preserve most of my fruit and vegetables. The bottling side of it all I am just in the process of learning 😊. This has saved me so much already 😊. Thanks for all your tips. Have a great week 😊.

G'day 😊. In answer to your very last question. We moved to Australia twice. 1987 left 1990. 2005 left 2005. Why? Family and so-called mates back home. We wished we had never left Australia 😢. WE LOVE ❤ AUSTRALIA 🌏🦘🌏. We would move back to the Sunshine Coast in a heartbeat, but we're retired now and the cost of moving back would cripple us😢😢. We're hoping to go back for a holiday and maybe catch another John Williamson concert. Last one was 2019 in Caloundra. Thanks for this 😊. Enjoy your amazing life 💖.

Returned home from Australia.missed home too much.missed football with the lads,pub with mates ,all of Europe on my door step.and the history and architecture of Europe

Why do people always think hot weather is preferable ,I prefer cold weather even in U.K. I’d rather have winter than summer.

My neighbor has a plant growing along the fence & every summer it smells like super glue.

Hi, you'll get no stick from me about transport. Its still pretty poor in Australia. Really a driving country unfortunately. Obviously our size doesn't help. Within the cities its ok, but regionally its terrible still. I'm an Australian who is returning back to Brisbane next month after 20 years and I needed you two to help me think the move will be ok. Different from moving from the UK as was your story. I've been in Vietnam, so it will be super different. Thanks for your channel.

Good list. Bundy is definitely worse for driving. Always has been up there

Love watching your videos guys! Really open and honest. Waiting to find out if my company are going ahead with setting up in Aus. 🤞🏻 Perth in the next 12 months

It was a lot better in the 60s than it is now.but that goes for most places then.

I'm a Canadian who emmigrated to Australia in the mid 60s as a 16 year old. I agree with your statement that the younger you are the quicker you adapt and settle in. I also observed, both in myself, and other immigrants I have met, that when you have lived in Australia for more than 7 years, you can't go back to the country you came from to live. Sure you can go for a visit. But family and friends you have in your country of origin will find you both familiar, and a stranger. You don't belong there anymore. And the proof of this comes at the end of your visit, when you get on the plane bringing you back to Australia, and you can't wait to get back to your Australian home.
