8 Facts Your Parents Would Tell You About Moving To Australia

[@jenniferharrison8915]

What a great way to spend quality time with you dad! Nice spot! 🤗💕 Black parrots are rare now, lucky! 😃 Plenty of sand traps! 😁 Good advice dad, no worries mate! 🙋

[@Teagirl009]

That was lovely seeing your dad. Looks like he might be half convinced to move here someday himself! 😉 Lotta roos out on the course...which is "par for the course" in Aus. Pun intended

Mr. Johnston, I am so happy to see your dad, Mr. Johnston. For the exact reason that your father stated, I left the UK for Canada after living in the UK for 15 years as an immigrant. Now suddenly, I have an eye on Australia.

@@alandavey3010 You mean, "Too cold" ?

Thanks for this video Ross, I've got some resistance coming from my mother about our move, my father tho is rather supportive. I'm r da lly looking forward for that moment your portrayed in your video.

Navigating the parent visa labyrinthine information is a nightmare…. We’ve just spent a month researching which visa offshore/onshore or non contributing or contributing…. I could go on to talk about Bridging Visas…. and the aged parent visa 67+…. my brain 🧠 is fried…. but we’ve decided to go for a tourist 600 then apply onshore for an 864 (takes 12 years and lots of ££) and then a BVA (bridging visa that allows you to volunteer).

Great video showing your dad's perspective. You look like you had great fun together

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

We did. Cheers Josh

Hope he brought your mum to visit you as well 🤞you can ask her opinions next week 🤣

Those sunnies are killer 😅

great vid

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Thanks mate

My second comment is about moving your SIP pension from the UK to Australia it’s a complete nightmare- you lose 25% immediately and you lose control of your pension in Australia…. more research needed but it’s not looking good. Inheritance tax is an issue if 15/20 years were domiciled in UK…. so you’d miss out on 0%

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Won't be moving mine any time soon then

[@BoninBrighton]

@@ThatJohnstonLife you also can’t pay any money into your UK SIP….

I thought your father said he saw a couple of black carrots .

[@stayawakenhealthy2539]

Yes, he did.😂

[@Her.Serene.Feline.Cuteness.]

He did. What did he mean?

[@LlamaHannah]

I think he meant two black parrots

[@keithkearns93]

@@LlamaHannah You are a genius . I wish I could have figured out what he meant .

[@Gordon_L]

@@keithkearns93 Sulphur Crested Carrots are more common 😁

Do you have a degree? Or your wife have a degree? Is it possible to get a visa without degree or sponsorship, I have ict qualifications and do a job that Australia believe they are short of

living close to a golf course has the risk of golf balls breaking your windows

[@grahamejohn6847]

Yeah sure you let him win. 😂😂😂

after a recent trip to London I must point out that Australia does not do cheese and onion sandwiches. I grew up in NZ where they are common, I miss them so much! I tried M&S but preferred Waitrose....PLEASE bring us the cheese and onion sandwiches!

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Never occurred to me that would be something people miss

[@TheSamleigh]

WOW! Yr Dad plays a great game of golf. ... Oh! ... Good Shot! (not you mate - sorry).

Australia is the best country in the world but the UK is the second best so you can't go wrong.

[@akasetkya6253]

This suspicious Aussie thinks, how much are they paying you to tell the truth?
