Love these long podcasts, perfect for when your driving along dreaming of your future 😁

[@vvaleriepergaud240]

Thanks for the postcast, that was very interesting !

[@JoshAnderson-fn5yp]

Awesome video, so glad to hear a different perspective from the regular guest ❤

[@marcinakamartin619]

Give me a picture frame! Great insight! Thank you Guys for sharing your thoughts. Best wishes for you and you Ross❤

[@SomethingNick]

Definitely a good shout on bringing it up early on, my last relationship ended because she didn’t want to leave London ever and I definitely wanted to return to Oz at some point! Now I just date Aussies in London as a backup 😅

[@naomihavemann2193]

Been waiting for something like this. About to listen. I am an Aussie expat getting ready to move back After over 20years abroad and 18 years in South Africa. Pretty scary

[@terencemccarthy8615]

18 years in South Africa sounds scary to me…well..the last few years at least

[@naomihavemann2193]

We lived as expats in South Africa and Mozambique for over 4 years you think Australia is scary place to live you have to be kidding.

[@naomihavemann2193]

The scary part is that I have been away from home for so long I am worried how much everything has changed. It’s a very strange feeling. I am looking forward to it though.

13:04 probably a Statutory Declaration (Stat Dec). 46:51 Ergon are terrible for customer service, most times. There is no competition, so they do things in their own sweet time. 53:02 that was great. Matt and Mel are 3.5 hours south of me. I’ve been to Bundy a fair few times. Nice place to live.

[@user-bi8wp6wy3l]

I often hear the comment from immigrants that although Australians are grenerally friendly and welcoming its hard for them to form closer relationships. There may be a reason for that if I migrated to another country and continually highlighted all the things I thought were better back home I probably wouldnt end up on top of the guest list. My advice is to only voice opinions like that if you are asked, show people that you are willing to accept differences (in a country you chose to move to) and try to get involved in things like sport, social or group activities. Aussies are pretty laid back but they are also proud of their country and dont like people whinging about it. If you are someone who likes to complain or avoids getting involved in activities I doubt Aussies will be unfriendly but they probably wont be spend too much time trying to include you in their closer circle of friends.

We had the same with my partner’s visa, thought it would be two years before we moved and eight weeks later it arrived 😆

[@marcinakamartin619]

Wow. They did what we did. We also could not imagine having kids in Au as we would not be entitled to any financial support...paid mat leave for a year, free childcare from age 3 till school age...ect. We r in the UK and frankly it depends what services you choose and where you live. We had a great birthday at Chelsea and West and then a home birth with our second child supported by Kingston Hospital nurses!

[@jotauzzieify]

Great video, im in the same proceso with the visá form for my wife, and going crazy

[@karenley7356]

I sense Matt is not as settled as he imagined he might be. Wishing you both the best with your new life in Australia I hope it works out for you both.

[@deliawallace4426]

I also moved back to Australia after 16 years abroad with my European husband, the picture thing is so true, having to trawl through so many photos to show us in the same place together over the years - usually one of you takes the photo. We had friends supply a few photos so that we could show ourselves together. I think Australia Immigration know more about my relationship with my husband than anyone else.

[@Smart_Tamaha]

Mr. Johnston, Every time I see your new video in Canada, I get mad at you. Because you make me envy of you because my Australian dream did not come true in the 90's in the UK, instead my Canadian dream came true in 2002.

[@dogsbollox2]

Melbourne is way in front of Brisbane in property prices

[@boymum_murphyyy1710]

I met my Pommie husband while living in London, late 90s. One of our early conversations was that I had no intention of living there long term. If he couldn't see himself living in Australia, then we may as well say, See ya 👋 right now 😂 we've been here for 23 years, and he'd never go back to live, loves it here too much.

[@staceybaileymeyler9678]

Any link for the picture frame that lady was talking about?

[@setters_oz_adventure]

It’s in the description 😊

[@nanisethistleton7831]

WOW! I can 100% relate to everything in this video! I'm Aussie and my husband is British.. we lived in the UK for 13 years and everyone would ask why I'd choose to live over there.. my response was my holiday isn't over too! For me covid changed my perspective on things so we sold up from a very comfortable life in the UK and made the move back to Brisbane 10 months ago. The cost of living here at the moment is extortionate! A roller coaster of emotions as the lifestyle we once dreamed of is now in a far distance in Qld! We've considered moving somewhere else cheaper in Australia e.g Adelaide or Perth but we want to live near my family so no point leaving Brisbane. Adjusting back into my old life here has been difficult.. old friends have moved on, making new friends as an adult has proven more challenging.. our kids are ages 7, 5 and 2 years old.. the school that my 2 older kids attend is fantastic! So ideally we would want to stay within a close proximity. My husband had an awful time with medicare too 😂 and my kids we're gobsmacked about people going barefoot to the shops too 😅 after decluttering our UK home, I could definitely get use to living a more simple and clutter free lifestyle! Tiny living and being off grid seems appealing 😊 if we lived closer to Bundy we would love to be your friends 😃

[@setters_oz_adventure]

Hi Nanise, it does sound like we share the same story. Love that. Well, Brissy is "only" 4 hours away. Maybe we can meet up next time we are down.

[@nanisethistleton7831]

@@setters_oz_adventure Yes, that'll be awesome. Let me know the best way to connect with you both 😃

[@StuartWischhusen]

Hi mate, my wife and I and our two daughters (12 and 19) moved back to Sydney last September after 17 years back in the UK. I’m English and she’s Australian. It’s been a good and weird experience so far, let me know if you want to have a chat sometime. Cheers, Stuart

[@setters_oz_adventure]

Hi Stuart, a chat would be great. Let me know how we can contact you.

[@StuartWischhusen]

@@setters_oz_adventure for sure, don’t have an email I can send my details to?

[@mckaypaterson2519]

The best way to get a handle on what are the true values: check out McDonalds prices in Germany and other countries to that found in Australia. I knew of a bloke who claimed to have eaten at McDonalds in every European countrys' capitals, Russia, and the Middle East.

[@marieravening927]

I'm an Aussie but I found her more easy to understand than her Aussie husband. Her diction was much clearer.

[@finlaydavies7760]

Germans speak incredibly good English I would argue better than the Brits and I'm a Brit myself, have met many Germans always the same embarrassment how good they speak English unlike some Brits

[@bluedog1052]

All the proofs Mel described are what every day Aussie citizens have to prove to have a Defacto relationship recognised by the Govt. Perhaps a bit more but that's fair enough.

[@DoctorVadarWho]

Just know the internet is Crap
