There are No Short Cuts to Anywhere Worth Going!

Australian Visas
It doesn’t seem that long ago since we launched this website and there were well over 700! days to go - seemed like an eternity. Yet, here we are, down to under 595 days already. The reality is starting to kick-in, in terms of how much preparation we still have to do (even though it looks like we have plenty of time!). Good news is that we finally decided to apply for Australian Independant Skilled Visas so that we can live and work permanently in Australia if we choose. Preliminary Applications have been logged and we are a bit buried in paperwork filling currently. ‘There are no short cuts to anywhere worth going’ is the logo of Go Matilda migration specialists. The reason for applying is for flexibility to live and work for a while, as we imagine we will be skint by the time we hit OZ. The dream would be to live and work and for the children to attend school in Australia for at least a year, to gain the experience of doing so in another country but these visas are not cheap so warrants considering hugely longer and forever to justify the ever-increasing dent to our ‘on the road’ budget. We plan to tour Australia initially also for about 6 months. But who knows, we might all be desparately home-sick and just want to get on a plane and go home following having had a year already on the road. Or, miraculously still have a bit of cash and want to continue travelling. Or, maybe we will really love Australia and want to stay!

Not that I’m impressed a lot, but this is a lot more than I expected when I found a link on SU telling that the info is awesome. Thanks.
