Welcome Back Y'all! Congrats on the Move 🎉🎉 😎 Sunshine Coast looks Gorgeous

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Thanks mate! It really is 😁xx

[@KindaAustralian]

So glad to see you back on YT! Sorry the move was so stressful, but happy to hear you're all settled in your new Aussie home 😊

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Thanks lovely, we’re living the easy life now! Xx

[@scottsheppard4332]

Nice one Maz , you're right about all the beach / park / bbq locations , all are fantastic . I reckon I've been to 50 plus kids parties at Tickle Park in Coolum 😎 Top spot !!

[@TheBAMFamalam]

It’s such a great party location, we’ve hosted some there ourselves xx

[@TheBAMFamalam]

We would love to hear your advice for any of our viewers questions today, pop it in the comments below xx

[@markyore86]

Currimundi Park has a BBQ and you can pick up stuff from the Currimundi shops on the way. There's a good coffee shop across from the park and most importantly it has beach AND lake access so if the kids aren't used to the ocean the quiet water of the lake is really good for them.

So awesome to see you popping up on my KZbin notifications again Maz 😊 I have missed you all so much ❤

G'day Maz. Good to see and hear from you again mate. ❤❤❤❤❤. One heart each.

Awww thanks! Good to see you back here ❤️

The GCSE won’t count mark wise but could influence which subjects she can choose because the prerequisites for the senior years are covered in the junior years. I’ve known many people who have come over and faced this issue, and I’m also a trained teacher and have been an education consultant since 2007. HSC = certificate IV and a tertiary presentation certificate at TAFE takes less time and is less stressful so know that if school is in anyway a disappointment, you have a backup for that certification, and universities prefer the tafe students because they’ve already been in an adult education setting, and they are not burnt out from the stressful final years. A certificate II at tafe is technically the same level as an O level, although in practice a Certificate III is better regarded and still less work than the O levels. And certificate IV is recognised for uni entry so you can study the subject you want to take further and be at an advantage. Education here has many more exit points, and no leaderboard in the manner the uk has it.

[@TheBAMFamalam]

This is awesome, thank you so much for this insight xx

[@paulboyd9171]

@@TheBAMFamalamMaybe Ross from That Johnston Life could help with that question.

[@marianjeffrey8684]

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

[@Kimjourney222]

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.

[@realityflyer3155]

Great to see you back (Sorry - not on instagram)... Looking forward to your upcoming instalments.

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Thank you xx

[@RJS4287]

Watford Lady - Mas you were right. GCSEs would not be much use here. In many States there used to be an external Year 10 School Certificate - but this has now been downgraded. Years 11 and 12 are the most important as is the HSC - no Year 13 like UK. Given Uni expansion you will get in many degrees with an average ATAR / HSC - but not Medicine, Law, Vet Science etc where you will need to be in top 1 or 2%. So I would be tempted to get daughter in Australian system asap to prepare for Yr 11/12 and HSC. A primary teacher visa probably OK but parents need to make sure kids will be classed as domestic not international students as international student fees are very expensive.

[@markyore86]

Woohoo - you're back! ❤

[@TheBAMFamalam]

🫶🏼 feeling that LOVE! Thank you xx

Aww good to see you back here, thank you 🥰🥰

Welcome back. And your skin is glowing 💛 It would lovely to see your new home 😊

[@AussieFossil]

I enjoyed your video very much Maz and I'll definitely be going back through them. People coming from the UK, specifically Anglo-Celtic Brits, need to know about SUNSCREEN, especially for children. I grew up in Australia and over the years I've had what are called 'pre-cancerous lesions' removed five times, neck X 1, face X2, back X 2. The person who asked you about getting a visa for their a grandparent may have a great deal of trouble getting one, if at all :) I worked for Medicare until relatively recently and I've dealt with several people who applied for Parent Visas 15, 20 or even 30 years ago and still don't have them. The cost is enormous, in many tens of thousands of dollars and they are very limited in the numbers granted. I'm sorry if this is insensitive, but to get further up the list in waiting for the visa, someone else has to withdraw their application or die. Australia is a hard place to get to to live. Even Australian Citizens, not just permanent residents, but Citizens, have to provide documentation to prove that after five years of living abroad that they are coming back permanently before they will be issued a replacement Medicare Card. There are a zillion things that people need to know and an officially registered Immigration Agent is imperative. Sorry for rabbiting on for so long.(that's Aussie for being a bit of a windbag) 😊

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Please don’t be sorry, everything you’ve written is so useful for our viewers. I also had a pre-cancerous one cut out a few years ago - those skin cancer checks are also incredibly important xx

[@jasondilworth2767]

I'm glad you are back , often wondered what had happened to the bamfamalam.. With the last question I think they will find it's easier to get visas etc between Canada and Aus than it is from any other country and Aus due to some deal between the government's , definately is with working holidays , but am sure I heard it's similar with permanent visas as well

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Thanks for joining us again :) That's great to know, thanks for sharing the knowledge xx

[@jenniferharrison8915]

Yes, Canada and America do have access to priority visas here!

[@MarkJessop-hq2uo]

hi mate. happy you are back on KZbin. this may be a silly question. do your kids still have pommy acentents. or do they sound more aussie now

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Brits think they have an Aussie accent, Aussies think they have a British accent, so I’m not really sure 🤣🤣xx

[@whymeeveryone]

its good to see again😁😁😁😁

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Thank you, it’s great to be back xx

[@alexradojkovic9671]

Thanks for explaining the reason for leaving that nice property. (But I would have hated mowing it) Hopefully you made a little profit with the sale. That was a good emigration rundown.

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Funnily enough mowing the lawn became quite a passion for Ben, he loved it 😆

[@AussieFossil]

@@TheBAMFamalam Well, with 4 women in the house, who could blame him? Just kidding 😊 I used to visit my sister's farm so I could go around on the tractor harrowing the fields. It's the sort of mindless relaxation we al need. 🙂

[@petertimp5416]

Good thing about Perth is that if you like travelling it’s a hop skip and the jump away from Asia. I’m on the central coast of NSW..

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Yes! That's a great plus for Perth 😁

[@quintinrichardson6691]

Keep up the you tube please it makes my day a guy from sunny coast cheers q

Shall do 😁 thanks for watching xx

[@TheBAMFamalam]

You are welcome, that sounds like a great plan xx

[@kjlovescoffee]

I'm glad to hear all is OK with you. I was worried you were divorced or dead!

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Defo neither divorced or dead 😆 xx

Welcome back. +1 for house tour.

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Thank you 🥰 It’s been a popular request for the last few months 😁xx

[@TheSamleigh]

Good stuff - Glad you’re back. Time for you to jump in the car and take us with you on a drive to anywhere on the Sunny Coast. Sure I’m only 100 minutes or so down the Rd but I’m lazy & like to live my life through others. So back to work! Chop Chop 🩵 love Sam

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Haha I think you’re right, we could do with a car trip! Xx

I would love to hear an experience of a single parent with kids that have emigrated to Australia

[@courtneylenkeit1455]

Haha thank you for reading my question (last one on the video) first name is Courtney 🤓

[@TheBAMFamalam]

Haha oh my gosh I’m laughing so much 🤣🤣🤣 I love to read names out because it makes it more personal, but this one stumped me and now I know why 🤣🤣🤪

[@courtneylenkeit1455]

Hahah no worries 🤣 you made my day by including my question. I jumped up for joy and showed my kids 😂💗

[@jeremyharris4415]

Wow thanks for sharing awesome video I’m glad you and your family are fit and well. Hey Quick question I have heard from some people that’s it’s very hard to get into a Rental property in QLD at the moment. And also I’m wondering if I need a Visa if I live in New Zealand and my children are Aussie 😊. So looking forward to seeing you next Saturday

[@TheBAMFamalam]

It's a lot harder than it once was to get a rental, we have got some tips for you here 👉🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4ibga18isRroLMsi=ZZPewEveDvxe2mSD You would need to check on the department of home affairs website or with and emigration agent - I have a feeling that as NZ citizens/Aussie citizens you should be fine xx

[@andymadine4756]

Hi guys. Can you give us some advice on how to find a house to live in? We are planning a move from Uk, going to holiday first visiting Sydney. How do we find a house to live in? Can you help with places to look?

I was going to unsubscribeas i thought after so many months you wouldn't return so what a pleasant surprise to see you both again!!!!

We've been up to all kinds of shenanigans off line 😁 We're on the coast again now xx

[@JordyJayHomer]

Are your kids getting Aussie accents? 😄 If so, does it feel weird?

[@Brimfulofbeauty]

I don’t think teachers are treated well in Aus from those online. In fact it sounds worse. Would love some teachers to give their opinion.

What is a recce?

A trip that you go on to explore and see if you want to move xx

Dear Mag. The UK is sinking...so many things going wrong...more dirt and crime.. Islamic threats...stupid royals and privilege embedded... Stay safe on the Sunny Coast.. Queensland alone has so much to offer...if things get too difficult try going fishing to calm the nerves as well as to enjoy a fresh bite. And great Ozzie meat pies...be well

[@TheBAMFamalam]

It’s certainly not how we remember it over there, which is a terrible shame. We hope that things bounce back. We’re certainly quite happy where we are back on the coast, we’ve got it pretty good 😁
