You are such a beautiful and strong family I doubt anything could faze you. Thank you for coming to live here in Aussie. It is a better place for having you all.
The kids wouldn’t have it any other way - they are having the time of their lives - I certainly don’t thing they’d be having the same adventures in the UK xx
Only just caught up with this video, been laid up with that rubbish flu bug that circulating the UK right now 😒 however, it's lovely to see you both back for 2023 & you've brightened my day with a lovely bit of Aussie sunshine 🌞 Happy New Year to you all lovelies xxx
3:41 Wow! My hayfever is actually quite bad here in Aus, I look like I’m crying. Also I’m so happy you guys love Australia, growing up in Australia has made me realise how many opportunities I have compared to others
I always suffered from Hay Fever for 40 years . I found a good multi vitamin and Zinc tablet basically removed it . Get a nettie pot and use some salty water and rinse the sinus out everyday for about a week to remove what setts it of . Doesn't work for everyone but it does help most people .
Good on you Guys and thanks for the reminder about the hayfever I have a severe one here in the UK, but I forgot about that I didn't have any in Oz strange that anyhow another uptick to head back can't wait and thank you both for keeping my dream alive
You hit the nail right on the head , nothing worth having comes without challenges , that's why I watch your channel you are adaptable you embrace the things that you can change and except the things that you can't . Never lose sight of your goals and keep telling it how it is . I get a bit tired of watching content from people who have been here for about a minute complaining and bitching about things they should have researched before coming here , or they watch shows made by people who have only visited for a few days on holidays and are experts on the place . That's why when I see such reactors commenting on theses shows I refer them to your channel or That Johnson Life channel and now there's Kaitlyn from Kinda Australian an American girl who came to Australia to marry an Aussie , you all tell it as you find it good and not so good ( I can't bring myself to say bad) and that's how it should be . I've already seen you all on a few American reactors channels and they all say that you inspire them . Forgive the rant I'm turning into a classic grumpy old man but I can't stand bullshit and the disingenuous people who spout it . Anyway I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with lots of prezzies and a Happy New year .
Happy New Year Tom 🥳 We hope you had a lovely time over the festive period too. We couldn’t agree more, it’s a shame for people to come here and not appreciate it xx
I just can’t settle in Oz 8 years in. Some just really struggle. From the other side of the argument, if you are very close to your family perhaps don’t do it. The distance is overwhelming for me and it’s very expensive to leave. Feeling very trapped.
Ben what’s the best areas in Sunshine Coast for me and my wife and 2 kids we are looking to move out in the next 12 months been looking at mountain creek and buderim any tips?
I don't see any sign of Slip Slop Slap, I do hope you practice excellent Sun Safety off camera or you'll have an Australian experience no one wants. This is said out of love for a wonderful fun family.
Shit!!….. Where have you been? It’s only been a month and it looks like you have both been on an ocean voyage living the high life. Get off the carbs, get off the crap but make sure you stay on the piss. Low carb beer tastes like crap but it’s still beer. I’m told they make a non alcoholic wine but since I like a full bodied Shiraz aged at least 4 years (minimum) Yeah… that’s a definite minimum… I would steer clear of that. Deadset (still) love your work and I am so glad you are back. I know, like Johnson, you are doing your best to get the best people in the world over here to help make this place the best it can be. We are in the process of selling our property in Highfields so we can move to Moore Park Beach north of Bundaberg with a population of less than 3000 people. About 17km of beach, good local services and only 20 minutes from everything. Oh…… don’t tell your mates about this place, I like the quiet.
Funnily enough we drove past there this week! 😁 Like everybody, I think we may have over done the high life in December 😆 We’re back to the norm now though 🥗
Someone has to say it: Maz wins the ‘Hottest New Aussie Resident in a Bikini Award’ for 2023 already. 👏👏👏 The competition is now closed. (And no Ben, you cannot enter, your wife is the winner) 😂 And I enjoyed the editing on this video too guys 👍 Happy New Year!!
Pleased to see you survived "silly season"😜...and that "new chums" have managed to thrive in our hostile environment😉, and made Aus a better place and more attractive to other POMs to make the change to move, without being convicts!! Ha ha!
Love your shows completely, but, You have viewer curiosity quality. Do some cookery vids, good quality food though. 100% it will be a very successful channel. You talk straight at us, all your viewers 👍🏼 don’t get me wrong though Ben is cool too.
we want so much to come there with our family... I am an australian citizen, but my wife's parents dont want to listen this! Are there jobs for people over 45 ? We are thinking of moving to Melbourne. Greetings from Greece!
@@TheBAMFamalam oh right cool stuff 👍 I’m a diesel mechanic/ technician and work for DAF trucks UK. I’m on the last legs of getting our 190pr visa granted as a tradie. Medicals booked for 16th of jan 🤞🏻 Love your vids and very insightful thank you 👍
@@BasedinReality1984 I’ve got a job offer but daf are putting me through my master tech training and can probably transfer to similar roles. I don’t mind I just want the work life balance
Hello I graduated from Syria from Tishreen University, Faculty of Physical Education, since 2009. I worked as a government employee in my country from 2005 until 2023, and I worked for the last three years as a government employee in the firefighter department for three years, from 2020 until 2023, as a sports coach for firefighters. I would like to travel and work. In Australia, note that I exercise regularly and play boxing as a hobby. Which authority responsible for the equivalency and assessment my degree in Australia and what authority responsible for the equivalency ans assessment My job experience in Australia, and what are the jobs that I can apply for to travel to Australia, and what are the visas that I can apply for . I am married and have two children, and what is the name of my bachelor's degree in Australia, and what are the jobs that I can apply for in Australia? Should I need two applications for the equivalency and assessment my university certificate and job experience, or one equivalency for both enough ? What is the cost of equivalency of the degree and job experience? And Actually that I would like to apply for a job in the police in Australia, what do you advise me? Thank you In advance.
Perhaps you didnt investigate the lesser qualities enough before migrating as these are always there A little amused hearing about an au pair. Never had such while raising my four girls with no access to a child minding service which was even a rarity in the nearest town twenty miles away You both seem to have settled becoming quite Aussie in your approach to life now and are the right kind of migrants Australia needs Bewdy mate.
I bet you regret it after the Covid hit and the government there went way overboard. So did the US but nothing like Australia. Hopefully it’s better now.
Most Australians are grateful for how our government acted. Deaths from covid have been very low and everything has been open for many, many months now.
@@ThatGuy-rb5yw It was certainly reported that way. In reality it was only one state which experienced a really full-on lockdown. As someone living in Tasmania, we were locked down for one week. I literally did not wear a mask until December 2021 and that was by choice. The reporting of the Australian experience has really been exaggerated - not really sure why,
I got dragged out here as with the family 20 years ago.
Looking at England now I'm so thankful for this!!
It certainly was not a downgrade moving over here 😁🐨
Glad you came xx
You are such a beautiful and strong family I doubt anything could faze you. Thank you for coming to live here in Aussie. It is a better place for having you all.
Thank you 🥰🥰
You are so honest and your video is very helpful to other British expats.
Thank you 🥰
Congratulations on 7 years in Oz BAM Fam. You guys are an inspiration.
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Great see you have made the 7 years here in Australia . How do the kids love it . Maz and Ben thank you for you efforts in doing these RUclips clips .
The kids wouldn’t have it any other way - they are having the time of their lives - I certainly don’t thing they’d be having the same adventures in the UK xx
What an amazing pair ! Ben and Maz are amazing too !!!!
@boilinwater69 I was thinking the same as you but didn't know how to put it into words. Well said 🤭🤭
How did they get those 2 puppies through customs.
@@farnthboy Just by being upfront with customs😢
I fully agree with keeping money aside for emergency flight 👍🏻
And we’ve loved watching you blossom. Peace and good Karma to you. 🙏
Thank you 🥰🥰

Local honey is also supposed to help 🐝
I have bad hay fever too, my nose basically turns into Niagara Falls. I just use hayfever tablets and they help a bit.
A couple of great points at the end of the video .... thanks
Glad it was useful 🥰🥰
7 years in. Wow…..I absolutely love your videos
Awww thank you 🥰
Wow😮 Seven years! Awesome!
It goes quick! Xx

It’s our pleasure 🐨❤️
Wowzers Maz 😍

When the naturalisation ceremony?
In Canberra? Warmest best wishes.
Really glad you are here....Maybe I need to go to the UK to get rid of my allergies 😂

Seven years. Wow. And to think, I'm pretty sure I was following you as PDU (I won't mention the actual name), all those years ago.
😮
Im worried about mocing to sunny coast (working at SCUH) as a solo 25 year old :( is it too quite to make friwnds?
What are you farming ?

To be a whiner.. I'll be retired by the time I'm settled financially. If I moved 1y earlier I'd be good now.
