Having come to Australia from the UK as a young child and growing up in Ormiston and having gone back to the UK as an adult. I can tell you, I am glad of the childhood I had in Australia, I couldn't imagine growing up anywhere else! 😊

@paulsandford3345 yeah it's a special place here

When my parents emigrated to Australia from England, I was a 12 year old boy. At my new school I was good with maths, English, science and geography however I was a long way behind in history, I knew all about English history but when it came to Australian history I was way behind, I didn't know any of the explorer names or achievements, or the role of the convicts etc. So it took a long time for me to catch up in history. It was easy to make new friends and I learnt how to ride a surfboard as we lived near the coast and I became a surf lifesaver getting my bronze medal in lifesaving.

How long have you been here now?

[@billdaniel8310]

@@TheGreatEmigrate 30 years and I have my own teenagers now, a 17 year old and a 14 year old, both boys.

[@TheGreatEmigrate]

Have you taken them to the uk?

[@billdaniel8310]

@@TheGreatEmigrate No, I would like to go back and visit my aunts and uncles. I'll wait a bit first, probably when I pay off my mortgage. My Mum and Dad have both gone back a couple of times.

Australia is a big place and has a number of different climatic zones. Darwin is pretty different to Hobart.

I am Australia who lives in surface paradise Gold Coast. There’s. Ups and downs in Australia. Being out doors healthy specialy. Walking on the beach bare feet in the sand on a hot day I love the hot weather beats the cold any day. I wish you you and the family the best life. Enjoy mate.

[@TheGreatEmigrate]

@@shanekopacka2945 thank you for your kind words, we love it here is such an amazing place

[@JBLegal09]

Don't know how you cope with the weather up there, at least in Melbourne we have seasons. I hope your girls appreciate the opportunities out here. Whilst I love the UK to visit, I couldn't live there xxx

[@TheGreatEmigrate]

Yeah they are so much happier here and so much more to explore for them, thanks for watching

Get a mosquito band for your wrist. I use them when I go to a BBQ in the evening/ late afternoon. Get them at BCF or chemist. They are a coloured rubber wrist bracelet and infused with mozzie repellent.

[@TheGreatEmigrate]

Nice one thanks for the top tip

[@FredPilcher]

Try Bushmans insect spray. :-) Very effective.

[@TheGreatEmigrate]

Thanks will give it a go

[@PatriciaMegna]

Nice to see your girls are happy here.

[@TheGreatEmigrate]

You can get a cream that is a combination sunscreen and insect repellent at the pharmacy

[@TheGreatEmigrate]

I went to the uk to check it out for 2 weeks. I left. In one it was terrible it was dirty. I saw women getting stabbed. Police every the weather was shit the beaches are crap. Each off there own. I guess I had to get the hell out off there I came back to surface. Paradise. Heaven the uk dosent even come close to Australia but Australia is not cheap do your home work think nice and hard moving to Australia it’s great for family’s on the beach and a lot more. There is crime but nothing like the uk. Keir. Starmer destroyed the uk have a look what’s going on there. I have uk friends in Australia they said they never go back to the uk

[@TheGreatEmigrate]

Yes we agree we are glad we left

[@Xitlerwinniethepoohdictator]

Kids always make friends. Kids adapt very easily and handle change much easier than adults. Adults underestimate kids.

[@TheGreatEmigrate]

Yeah we are very proud at how well ours have settled
