How much was it to send your dog over

Australia is a British colony and full of English people running away from the UK for the longest most can trace thier history back to England and Ireland lots of pommes in Australia 🦘.

Majority of Europeans in Australia are originally from England and Ireland most are pommes and convicts from the UK and many trace thier history back to the UK ,those Australia have adapted thier own way of life and are not as tolerant and open minded , so many English people are leaving the UK for the longest to Australia to get away from the mess in the UK.

Just subscribed. Love your journey. We live at Lake MacDonald on the Sunshine Coast just up the road from you. Was born in Scotland and came with my family when I was just 7 years old. Best thing my mum and dad did for our family. My daughter ended up doing university in England, met her future husband and now lives in Manchester. Life is a circle. Good luck to you and your family. Keep us updated.

The "wildlife" is a fallacy.....spiders,snakes where you are ? Look for weeks you won't find any. Big spiders indoors will be harmless Huntsman.Leave them alone,they won't bother you. Mothers groups are good networkers. Once school starts friends are made easily by the kids.

All I’m gonna say is Australia isn’t the country u think it is through the pics u seen were getting so much immigrants and people coming over since the past 2 years that the country is getting over populated ur gonna see the real Aus through the news and I don’t wanna stay here anymore it gets boring this is coming from a born and raised Aussie Australia isn’t what it was before anymore and I’m thinking about wanting to move out the beaches r everywhere in any country but if that’s all ur after then it’s abit boring or it will get boring for u

when you go outside slip slop slap .. slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen, slap on a hat .. skin cancer is rampant .. especially for fair-skinned folk

Could you try to speak more clearly? I find it difficult to understand what you are saying.

Know lots of people who have made the move they all say they are never going back.

A brave thing you youngsters are doing, I commend you for taking the plunge. Aus is a great place to live, and doing it with the kids still so young is the best way to do it. I wish you all the best, and I'm sure it'll turn out great for your family. I'm a couple of hours south of your new home, on the Gold Coast. Ironically, having spent some time (18 months) in the UK while I was in the Australian Navy, the only other place I would live if I couldn't live here would be the UK lol. Good luck 👍😁 Subscribed!

Been checking for updates. Hope your family is adjusting to & enjoying your new home & all is well

Having been in the RAAF, 1970-1991, moved all over Australia, lived for 3 years in Hong Kong, 1981-83, I know what it's like to 'relocate' to somewhere different, in my families case, 14 times over 21 years. I commend you and your family for doing what you all are doing, a very daring, courageous, and challenging decision. We adults usually cope well, but, we found that our two pre-teen/teen boys quite readily adapted to their new circumstances. Welcome to Australia.!.

It's an incredibly courageous thing you two have done!. SO many 'things', incredibly beyond my knowledge!. But, I'll say this, VERY BRAVE , Very Admirable!.

Would you be able to tell us with relocation agent you used who helped you get a rental accommodation, we are going through the move now and dont know who to use

Did you need to have a job offer already sorted to get this visa?

Gday guys & Welcome to Australia my name is paul & im living in Adelaide. you will love it here in qz land its the best country by far. very freindly pepole beautiful weather lots to see & do. so welcome once Again enjoy your stay & have a great day !!!!!!!!! 🤠🤠

Hi guys Loving the videos, how much did it cost to take your dog out with you ? Thank u

Great vlog! Thanks for the updates and it’s amazing seeing how well it’s all going for you. Very inspiring x

Sunshine Coast is not really regional... it's practically the far north suburbs of greater Brisbane, so good luck to you. Mt Isa or Cairns is regional. I hope you have a great time.

Alicia, Aldi sells Chef's instant roast meat gravy powder, so quick and easy.

Omg it looks amazing why do u have to let the tyres down? Xxx

That's great value 👏 👌

You guys will have an Aussie accent soon. Was this video taken on Rainbow Beach? Looks like a great day out. It’s been on my list of things to do.

Wow you guys are amazing all day I'm sitting here with my thermals and 4 layers and a buff and a heated jacket and you guys are sunning yourselves on the beach. Which would be ok if I was in Canada but I'm in Sydney wth.

Looks like some people are tired from a day at the beach. 😉

Really awesome! You guys made the right move - outdoor lifestyle, more space with sunshine is really great, esp for kids and growing up 👌🏻 takes a few months to really feel settled/find one’s feet. Just keep moving forward. Shopping seems same prices as UK I grew up in South Africa and Australia looks very similar (minus the crime and political dramas in South Africa)

I was hoping you guys were just really busy, good to see things are moving along, coming from the other side of the world is a huge leap of faith and I'm sure there will be some bumps in the road. Trust yourselves and one day at a time things will work out and settle down.

To setup car rental, utilities, broadband, accommodation, etc from UK - did you use email or WhatsApp calls… did you just Google places from UK?

What got you guys to choose Sunshine Coast over Sydney or Perth or any other place?

Nice vids guys - especially as they recent! What Jobs are you guys doing? How many years of work experience do you have? What your ages? Which area were you staying in in the UK?

You won't see any snakes on mowed lawns or in the cooler months, anyway. There are a lot of spiders on the Sunshine Coast - certainly in the hilly areas. But they aren't poisonous and just wibbly. Hit them with a shoe and they die. They would not creep up on you on the grass. You would be more likely to find them on the wall or ceiling of your house. Not many in winter, either. Feed the wild birds in your yard and the birds will hang around and also eat the spiders. Re private schools: a Catholic friend from teh Sunshine Coast said he regretted sending his kids to a Catholic high school. He said it was really rough, they had a pervert teacher showing them nudes, and he said he could have saved money and probably had fewer problems if they had gone public. I don't know if there are any Adventist schools there (when lived there my kids were old), but I sent mine to one in a small Qld town many years ago, and it was wonderful. It was small, and they were very focused on making kids feel good about themselves and encouraging them. It was not cheap, though.

Welcome. We are sure you will love it!

Love seeing your new adventures continue and seeing you settle in. I’m so keen to get there and start our new life down under. We are planning on moving to the Sunshine Coast. What part of the Sunshine Coast have you moved to?

Don’t worry about the snakes they keep the rodents at bay. Nothing quite like trying to get to sleep when there’s a huntsman on the ceiling. As for the spiderwebs they make great hair nets.

We also land on Sunshine Coast in 4 days, reassuring to see you guys settled ok, anxiety is crazy at moment 😂

Get ready to earn some serious coin out here mate!! You guys are gonna love it. I live 30 mins away from the sunny coast. I’m actually surprised that’s classed as regional. Everything you guys said in this video is correct in regards to your expectations AND you’re doing it the smart way; compared to how my parents did it 21 years ago (almost to the day)

Welcome to Australian from a former Pom, now Aussie :) Just fyi . You’re sitting in the Yard …… it’s not called the garden anymore 😂😂 People here will think it’s a veggie patch or a flower bed etc. They will know what you mean, but it won’t be the image that first pops into their mind if you’re having a conversation.

Go to the beach this winter because it wont be long before you acclimatize, and you will find it too cold for a swim in May to August. Generally tourist swim this time of year and dedicated surfers wear wetsuits. enjoy while you can.

Welcome to Australia, honey you need to get out of the sun you are getting sunburnt. Our sun is very strong, you won’t feel it until the sun goes down.

Nice to hear some Aussie birds in your yard.

Welcome to Australia guys hope everything works out for you all 😀👍.

Australia is a long way away but left Earth 😂 bless, too cute 😊 Welcome to Oz ❤

Snakes are rarely seen. They are rare in urban area environment. Spiders are more common, but you will get used to them.

Welcome to our beautiful country ❤️🇦🇺

Welcome to OZ!... May your sweet family find happy reasons each day, why it was was worth leaving "earth" for your new adventure!... Once you make new friends, you'll realise HERE is home too! :)

Welcome! Love families taking new life here in Australia. I hope it’s better than you had both imagined.

Congratulations on your move down under. Seems like your have a blast there. Hope you and your family enjoy your new way of living. Look forward to your vlogs and updates!!

Welcome to Australia, Alicia. It sounds to me like you are already very committed to your new country, although Ross from That Johnston Life did a video about 'ping-pong Poms' which is interesting. The biggest problem for women is the loss of contact with family and friends; it can lead to really strong pangs of loneliness which can become overwhelming. About three months from now, you will experience serious homesickness. You are already taking the right kinds of steps to fend that off. The mums and bubs group, the playgroup, all those people will give you a sense of being part of a local community. Don't be in too much of a hurry to spend that $5K on a private school. Australian public education is really good, and there's not much difference between areas. There are no ghetto schools, so the fact that a school has to use portable classrooms is actually a sign that it is in demand. Definitely have a look around, but you may not be getting much more than you would in the public system. From the parental perspective, Australia sets great store by the concept of 'confident learners'. They're much more interested in helping your kids try and fail, and then get back on the horse again. In Grade 3, our son was running the school assembly, reading out the notices, and introducing other kids playing the guitar. There is definitely not a focus on passing tests or things like that. They really let kids be kids, and that continues into the earlier years of secondary school, when you get to that point. Girls, in particular, learn not to take shit from anyone. Back to my earlier theme of not feeling cut off, the parents of your kids' friends will become your friends, and that, as they say, will make all the difference. I think you will find your feet very quickly, and there will be many surprises and discoveries along the way. And since everyone else has said not to worry about the spiders, it might be a while until you get your first huntsman spider in your house, and they look very scary, but as everyone will tell you they are fantastic hunters of cockroaches [which are huge in Queensland] and mosquitoes. It's been years since we had a snakebite death, but we've just had a shark death in South Australia, the first for a while, but we had almost 40 people drown at surf beaches this summer. Make sure your kids learn how to swim at a surf beach; there is a program called 'nippers' run by the Surf Life Saving Association, and it's well worth drown-proofing your kids. Kids love surfing. It's an Australian tradition!

you should go back to the airport and go back home imediately

Yeah Australia is another planet 😜😂 Don't stress about spiders and snakes. They leave you alone if you leave them alone. It's all good. 👍
