Get ready to earn some serious coin out here mate!! You guys are gonna love it. I live 30 mins away from the sunny coast. I’m actually surprised that’s classed as regional. Everything you guys said in this video is correct in regards to your expectations AND you’re doing it the smart way; compared to how my parents did it 21 years ago (almost to the day)
Australia seems so far away, but in reality once you board the plane you will be in Oz or the UK in 24 hours or less. Good luck with the move, Sunny Coast is sensational
It's an incredibly courageous thing you two have done!. SO many 'things', incredibly beyond my knowledge!. But, I'll say this, VERY BRAVE , Very Admirable!.
I’ve just got back from a five week holiday in Australia spending most of the time on the Sunshine Coast I absolutely loved it there. I’m looking to move to Australia in a couple of years , I can’t wait you will love it. I’ll be following you adventures. Good luck guys !
My parents emigrated from the UK to Australia with my older siblings 72 years ago. I was born soon after. I am sooo thankful that they did so. Life is wonderful here. I love the Australian culture. I live in Melbourne, Victoria, but one of my children and grandchildren live on the Gold Coast in Queensland. Good luck in your new life.
No worries mate, you'll love it and so will the kids but it will take some time to get settled. Don't know where in regional Oz your going but I wish you all the best. In an earlier post I saw someone recommend That Johnston Life and Bamfamalam, I agree, you will find them both entertaining and very informative. Cheers.
@@Tiredasamother_ab Yes, the That Johnston Life is really great. They came over at the start of the pandemic and are just north of Brisbane and have some really informative videos on what to do when you first arrive, renting etc. I'm a Queenslander and I think that you and your kids will love our Sunshine State :)
@@Tiredasamother_ab yes definitely check out That Johnston Life and Bamfamalam, they both moved from UK during the pandemic and have since released a lot of videos that you'll find VERY HELPFUL and also help set your mind at ease
@@Tiredasamother_ab Yes, Bamfamalam have been here for at least 5 years I think and live in the Gold Coast area so they would be a good and helpful touch base
i came here from Nottingham 13 yrs old. i talked my parents to come here . my bro who was 17 did not want to come . then the last minute he came. he served in the australian army . then years later i served as a cop in nsw. , lived in melbourne , perth , all over sydney, darwin, bowen, shepaRTON, lots more places. keep an open mind and enjoy ur life ....good luck! so what is so great about australia? my son who was born here is 45 he is a landscaper, stone mason and gem cutter. yeah u can go bush andfind gemstones and gold. my daughter born here too. she has lots of property , here 3 houses, hungary a flat in budapest, a country property there. a flat opposite the Eifel. , tower in paris. a singer , songwriter , a pianoist, , a dancer a drummer. she even sang live on us radio , in naussau with gloria estafan...... oh yeah she is the biggest supplier of wagu beef here , also a wedding planner and a jewellery expert. what is unique here , millionaire , billionaire , just another mate. so u guys its hard to adjust u will miss family , maybe get homesick though i dont know why. but head down , yeah down under , bum up . i came here in 65, ive been rich n poor, stretched to my limits at times but i would not change it for quids so welcome to oz the bailys.
I hope you’ve got some tips on moving here by watching the Bamfamalam who moved to the Sunshine Coast 7 years ago from the UK and also That Johnston Life also from the UK to Brisbane about 2 years ago. They both have RUclips channels and have lots of advice.
My Welsh parents moved from South Wales (and England for work) to Australia just over 70 years ago with two children and pregnant with me. I was born in Melbourne, Australia. We children are sooo thankful that they did. We have all done well in Australia having tertiary qualifications, good careers and own our homes. It's a good life and a wonderful and different culture. FYI, Perth has a lot of Poms and is very far from the rest of Oz. It is the most distantly isolated city in the world. All all our family of three generations is spread over the four eastern states. Best wishes in your move and settlement.
My mum came to Oz in 1957 from South Shields as a 9 year old. I’m forever grateful my grandparents made the decision to emigrate as I feel blessed to have been born here. Still have relatives in the UK and have much love for them.
You can never under estimate the bravery involved when people elect to start afresh in a new country. Leaving behind family and your current way of life is never easy. I truly hope this all works out for you. Best wishes.
Good on you guys, I spent a few months in the Sunshine Coast when I was younger, and it's such a different world over there than here in England. Much more opportunity, and a really relaxed way of living. I'm just about to submit my skills assessment with the hopes of getting a 189 to migrate with my young family in the next year or so. The paperwork is a real ballache that I keep procrastinating over - so your video gave me a bit of motivation to spent an hour on it now, cheers! Enjoy the next few weeks of saying goodbyes and packing!
Stop procrastinating and come over. The longer you leave it the less time you and your family have to enjoy your new lifestyle. And you will thank yourself 👍🏼
@@ShannonDent We're not there quite yet... but we have had our invitation to apply, paid our fees and applied a couple of months ago, just waiting on the application to be processed and hopefully approved in the next 6-12 months. I did it all myself in the end as after speaking to a handful of agents i had 3 or 4 different sets of advise, and wasn't confident in any of them really. What visa are you looking into?
@@scottjones1715 aw amazing hopefully it isn’t too long of a wait for you 🤞 tbh I do not know it would be on my partners really… he emailed a company who said 189 or 190 which I think are good but all the assessments and tests and points sound scary haha! So he’s also just emailing jobs out there to see if he can be sponsored through them 🤔 but it’s all very confusing haha x
Congratulations on the move! We moved to perth in Feb, so we've only been here a few weeks but absolutely loving it. I hope your move down under goes well 👍
I love Sydney too David but it is not the be all and end all. Many fantastic places to live in Australia. Good luck with the move for the Bailey family. 🤗
i hope you can adjust to all the price increases that have hit us over the last couple of years, fuel, rent groceries , so just the basics have gone mad
I have lived on the sunshine coast for 35 years. It aint perfect, rentals are out of control. A townhouse is $600 a week, people are bidding on house rentals. The only industries are tourism or building. Good luck.
congratulations guys! i am a local to the sunshine coast or sunny coast as most of us call it the drive from brisbane to the sunny coast at the moment has a few bits of road works going on so allow a little more time but there is also some places to stop if you need too for the kids or grab a coffee and some breaky on the way up. Rentals in the area are pretty hard at the moment alot of people want to move to the coast from brisbane and the southern states. it should be cooling off around the time you guys get here but it wont be cold it will still be around 22c to 25c most of the time. Plenty of roofing work up here most homes are metal roof but that depends on your experience and we have a real shortage of tile roofers i do facia and gutter myself so i work for a few of the bigger roofing companies subcontract. All the best and hope it goes smoothly
@@Tiredasamother_ab You're welcome, your accents are strong, but Aussies won't discriminate about that so hopefully you'll have a good transition. And yeah it's gonna be tough adjusting but you'll be right. Reach out to the Johnstons or the BamFam for any help, I'm sure they'll be willing.
Massive journey. Best of luck to you guys. I live in Melbourne (VIC), but I have spent fair few family holidays around the Sunshine coast, which is a beautiful area with some of the best beaches in Australia and is a very family friendly place with reasonably affordable housing (in comparison to the rest of Australia). I'm sure you guys will have a great time :)
Aussie here... Central Victoria, 2 hours from Melbourne, all i can say is i hope you get here ok, and once you settle in, im sure you will enjoy it here.
Congratulations, my family moved from the UK just over 95 years ago (My dad’s 92)Some move to the US and the rest here. I’m so glad grampa moved here as my US family life is a lot harder than ours.
Hope all your experiences are positive ones when you arrive. Australians are a pretty friendly lot and I’m sure you’ll have no trouble settling in once you arrive and an advanced Welcome to Australia. 😀
I beg any of you imminently movung here to remember a few things: Firstly it won't always be a fairytale. It is not Utopia. Too many Poms expect too much and forget they are a very, very long way from family when things don't go right. Secondly, once here, consider yourself Australian from Day 1, no longer English. STOP comparing from the moment you get off the plane. It does you no good at all, leads to a unrealistic rose tinted view of where you left. Acting like you are in a foreign country will mean you will not settle into life here. Once here, it is YOUR country. Embrace it wholesale, the good, the bad and the indifferent. And besudes, seriously Aussues HATE whingeing Poms. Thirdly, do not go back to the UK for at least 5 years. You will never settle here if you constantly ping pong. It is actually harder on relos if you do. Get them to come to you. Show off a little. Brag a lot. These are based on my experiences and on having watching dozens of others leave without settling. I've been a very proud Australian for 33 years, having come from the UK in my mid 20s originally. It is a fantastic place to have a career, a life and to raise children. But, as I said, it is not paradise so don't come thinking it is, you will be very very disappointed. Safe travels, best wishes. Enjoy!
I live on the gold coast, definitely secure a rental property before arriving, they are in very short supply, so many people here now can't find a rental property. Good luck.
We’re are going to be in the same predicament later in the year with regards to rentals. Please let me know how you get on with finding a pet friendly renter. 🙏🏼
Guys a pet friendly renter is totally up the the owner of the property, not the agent. The type of dog helps too smaller the better. Doesn't drop hair, dig holes and always tell them the dog stays in the yard even if you bring it inside as we all do usually.
Gday guys & Welcome to Australia my name is paul & im living in Adelaide. you will love it here in qz land its the best country by far. very freindly pepole beautiful weather lots to see & do. so welcome once Again enjoy your stay & have a great day !!!!!!!!! 🤠🤠
Congrats & Welcome You will ❤️ the SC …u just need 2 choose north or south The local airport is great for travelling within Australia as it is not horrendous like BrisVegas.. We are still having humid weather with days around 30C Safe travels
Just remember I work with a number of people who have just come from England to work in Sydney. QLD is a much better choice. I lived in Cairns though lived in / Sydney now. Reach out if you need any info. Biggest shock the guys that come from England is the cost of transferring a vehicle into your name, keep in mind Australia has a cost for everything. Public schools will want fee's though will be reluctant to tell you they are not compulsory.
My only concern would be the isolation - far away from the rest of your friends and family. But if you deal with that and integrate there then hopefully things will be fine!
have you seen what's going on in the rest of the world though? we LOVE our isolation lol, and a study published in the journal Risk Analysis last month says Australia and NZ are best placed to survive a nuclear apocalypse - bonus!
The internet will really help with maintaining connections to family. You can talk face-to-face as often as you need and your children can maintain connections to grandparents. I emigrated over 40 years ago. You will feel homesick, especially at Christmas (or I do then). Try not to rush back. Get settled then go back for a holiday if you feel very homesick, you might find that helps remind you why you moved. Good luck.
Sunshine Coast is not really regional... it's practically the far north suburbs of greater Brisbane, so good luck to you. Mt Isa or Cairns is regional. I hope you have a great time.
Rentals wouldn't be easy, what's your plan B, don't underestimate missing family back in UK, it's the number 1 reason Brits return back to the UK its a long way away plus life in Aus is not the UK with sun, its a different country with a different culture and people which is not to everyone's taste. Aussies are friendly but making friends in Aus is not the same as making friends in the UK, everybody's your mate in Aus but very few are close friends unlike the UK who tend to form deeper friendships, plus your family wont be queuing up to come and see you its a big and expensive journey to make. Love to know where on the Sunshine Coast your moving to, hopefully not Noosa, Maroochydore is ok, Caloundra not so nice, Buderim nice but very quiet. Let me know
Remember that where your moving too is sub-tropical, and tho the official governments adds tell you the weather it is really good one day and perfect the next, we have had a lot of rain in that area of late, and what i can gather it is set to continue that way if you listen to the talking heads on the weather forecasts.
Hi, we're going out to the Sunshine Coast in June! You mentioned about taking your dog, have you booked that already? I'm struggling to find someone to ship our dog over. Can you let me know what company you used? Thank you sooo much x
With the amount of illegal "immigration" into Britain a.t.m., and polliticians that do nothing about it, you are certainly better off in Australia, Britain is finished. Rental on the Sunshine Coast is difficult a.t.m. and is in great demand. Wish you very good luck, don't forget it's very hot this time of year in Aus.
Just remember that Australia is not some antipodean outpost. Soccer (yes, that's what it's called out here) is a minor sport, tended to be played by Europeans. The matches are full of crowd violence with spectators letting off flares. The British are considered colonising invaders. We don't have any English pubs over here. Need to leave your British superiority attitude in Britain. A recent immigrant complained to me that his daughter was developing an "accent", to which I replied - "You're the one with the accent, mate."
The UK is a mess . Australia is not better high rents and homelessness everything is expensive in Australia 🦘 too many British moving to Australia things gonna go up.
Heya guys, me and my fiancé are moving over in 2 weeks Eeek. Stressful process isn’t it? How are you going about with house rentals? How do you find an agency? X
@@Tiredasamother_ab we are moving to tweed head. Ah fab! Did you literally just google rental agency in Sunshine Coast? Things are super complicated😂 thank you for your help!! X
@@Tiredasamother_ab ah fab! Yeah we’re with the DUC also, just waiting for our 491 visa invite. Thank you for your help! Wish you all the best in aus guys, massive good luck!! X
All I’m gonna say is Australia isn’t the country u think it is through the pics u seen were getting so much immigrants and people coming over since the past 2 years that the country is getting over populated ur gonna see the real Aus through the news and I don’t wanna stay here anymore it gets boring this is coming from a born and raised Aussie Australia isn’t what it was before anymore and I’m thinking about wanting to move out the beaches r everywhere in any country but if that’s all ur after then it’s abit boring or it will get boring for u
Hey luv.... don't know where you are moving... but I'm in Tasmania... if you need any help at all or support... I mean, I don't have a lot of money.... but I will support you and your family.... and THAT is what you will get in Australia..... xx Welcome :D
Congratulations, you'll never regret the move, and your young family will thank you later in life, trust me on this.
Thank you! 🥰
Get ready to earn some serious coin out here mate!!

Give it 2 hours from Brisbane Airport to the Sunshine Coast at that time of day. And the rental market is fairly tight so get onto it asap.

I beg any of you imminently movung here to remember a few things:
Firstly it won't always be a fairytale. It is not Utopia. Too many Poms expect too much and forget they are a very, very long way from family when things don't go right.
Secondly, once here, consider yourself Australian from Day 1, no longer English. STOP comparing from the moment you get off the plane. It does you no good at all, leads to a unrealistic rose tinted view of where you left. Acting like you are in a foreign country will mean you will not settle into life here. Once here, it is YOUR country. Embrace it wholesale, the good, the bad and the indifferent. And besudes, seriously Aussues HATE whingeing Poms.
Thirdly, do not go back to the UK for at least 5 years. You will never settle here if you constantly ping pong. It is actually harder on relos if you do. Get them to come to you. Show off a little. Brag a lot.
These are based on my experiences and on having watching dozens of others leave without settling. I've been a very proud Australian for 33 years, having come from the UK in my mid 20s originally. It is a fantastic place to have a career, a life and to raise children. But, as I said, it is not paradise so don't come thinking it is, you will be very very disappointed.

Definitely we said the same, thank you x
Majority of Europeans in Australia are originally from England and Ireland and many are pommes and can trace thier history back the UK for centuries.
I live on the gold coast, definitely secure a rental property before arriving, they are in very short supply, so many people here now can't find a rental property. Good luck.

We’re are going to be in the same predicament later in the year with regards to rentals. Please let me know how you get on with finding a pet friendly renter. 🙏🏼
Good luck! Of course, hopefully we’ll all be ok finding somewhere 🤞🏼
Guys a pet friendly renter is totally up the the owner of the property, not the agent. The type of dog helps too smaller the better. Doesn't drop hair, dig holes and always tell them the dog stays in the yard even if you bring it inside as we all do usually.
Gday guys & Welcome to Australia my name is paul & im living in Adelaide. you will love it here in qz land its the best country by far. very freindly pepole beautiful weather lots to see & do. so welcome once Again enjoy your stay & have a great day !!!!!!!!! 🤠🤠
I've met many people who've moved to Australia to improve their English. I assume it'll be good for you too. Good luck.
Good idea to move to Australia to improve your English. We'll teach you how to speak properly mate!!!
Congrats & Welcome
You will ❤️ the SC …u just need 2 choose north or south
The local airport is great for travelling within Australia as it is not horrendous like BrisVegas..
We are still having humid weather with days around 30C
Safe travels
Thank you so much! Xx
The reason why 'were' moving to Australia. Is it just me? I knew they were from Essex right away. Welcome to Oz.
Just remember I work with a number of people who have just come from England to work in Sydney. QLD is a much better choice. I lived in Cairns though lived in / Sydney now. Reach out if you need any info. Biggest shock the guys that come from England is the cost of transferring a vehicle into your name, keep in mind Australia has a cost for everything. Public schools will want fee's though will be reluctant to tell you they are not compulsory.
Thank you for your comment, we lived in Australia when we were younger so we’re aware of this 🥰 thank you
Taxes higher in Australia if you like alchoal & luxury cars
My only concern would be the isolation - far away from the rest of your friends and family. But if you deal with that and integrate there then hopefully things will be fine!
have you seen what's going on in the rest of the world though? we LOVE our isolation lol, and a study published in the journal Risk Analysis last month says Australia and NZ are best placed to survive a nuclear apocalypse - bonus!
In todays computerised / mobile phones world - no one is isolated anymore !
The internet will really help with maintaining connections to family. You can talk face-to-face as often as you need and your children can maintain connections to grandparents. I emigrated over 40 years ago.
You will feel homesick, especially at Christmas (or I do then). Try not to rush back. Get settled then go back for a holiday if you feel very homesick, you might find that helps remind you why you moved.
Good luck.
@@dizzylizzy7582 - Yes, but what happens when you do not like any of them ? Do they become an annoying nuisance ?
@@HartmutJagerArt well then, you pretend the internet here is even worse than it is and avoid them altogether.
all the best and welcome to aussie land....
Thank you
Sunshine Coast is not really regional... it's practically the far north suburbs of greater Brisbane, so good luck to you. Mt Isa or Cairns is regional. I hope you have a great time.
Watch out for DROP BEARS.🐨
Getting rental properties is a nightmare at the moment. I hope you find something. All the best with your move.
yea thats how it is everyone. I mean everywhere as in ALL AROUND THE WORLD. I travel as work and see it everywhere
Australia is expensive like the UK but the UK is worse .
For anyone that wants to have a go at them just remember, they aren't saying their way is the best way, it's just the way they are doing it.
Rentals wouldn't be easy, what's your plan B, don't underestimate missing family back in UK, it's the number 1 reason Brits return back to the UK its a long way away plus life in Aus is not the UK with sun, its a different country with a different culture and people which is not to everyone's taste. Aussies are friendly but making friends in Aus is not the same as making friends in the UK, everybody's your mate in Aus but very few are close friends unlike the UK who tend to form deeper friendships, plus your family wont be queuing up to come and see you its a big and expensive journey to make. Love to know where on the Sunshine Coast your moving to, hopefully not Noosa, Maroochydore is ok, Caloundra not so nice, Buderim nice but very quiet. Let me know
Remember that where your moving too is sub-tropical, and tho the official governments adds tell you the weather it is really good one day and perfect the next, we have had a lot of rain in that area of late, and what i can gather it is set to continue that way if you listen to the talking heads on the weather forecasts.
Yes we are aware of that 🥰 we lived there a while ago, definitely beats cold England x
Good luck guys. Don't come to Sydney. It's London 2.0 just with hotter weather. Queensland is a paradise.
Thank you!
London 2.0 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I live on the Sunshine Coast
Hi, we're going out to the Sunshine Coast in June! You mentioned about taking your dog, have you booked that already? I'm struggling to find someone to ship our dog over. Can you let me know what company you used? Thank you sooo much x
Hello! Ah amazing! Good luck, yes we are & we used pets abroad 🥰 xx
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, the Queensland Premier is a totalitarian monster, but they all are here.
Hi guys
Loving the videos, how much did it cost to take your dog out with you ?
Thank u
With the amount of illegal "immigration" into Britain a.t.m., and polliticians that do nothing about it, you are certainly better off in Australia, Britain is finished. Rental on the Sunshine Coast is difficult a.t.m. and is in great demand. Wish you very good luck, don't forget it's very hot this time of year in Aus.
So true, thank you!
The whole world is the same everyone is running away from their lands and multiculturalism has failed in the UK and world everyone hates each other.
Why? For decades I have had to listen to English people, telling me how wonderful life is being from the UK.
Australia is not any better back in the day but now many other migrants are running to Australia.
Australia says welcome to paradise, take care in the sun. UV rays still high on a cloudy day. stay to the legal road speeds. 60kph mean 60kph. ENJOY>
Just remember that Australia is not some antipodean outpost. Soccer (yes, that's what it's called out here) is a minor sport, tended to be played by Europeans. The matches are full of crowd violence with spectators letting off flares. The British are considered colonising invaders. We don't have any English pubs over here. Need to leave your British superiority attitude in Britain. A recent immigrant complained to me that his daughter was developing an "accent", to which I replied - "You're the one with the accent, mate."
Agree 💯
Know lots of people who have made the move they all say they are never going back.
The UK is a mess . Australia is not better high rents and homelessness everything is expensive in Australia 🦘 too many British moving to Australia things gonna go up.
Hopefully your typing is better than mine, see comma in the wrong place below. Ha ha.
Heya guys, me and my fiancé are moving over in 2 weeks Eeek. Stressful process isn’t it? How are you going about with house rentals? How do you find an agency? X
Aww amazing! How exciting for you! If really is ahah,
It all depends on the area, we used claymore thistle x
@@Tiredasamother_ab we are moving to tweed head. Ah fab! Did you literally just google rental agency in Sunshine Coast? Things are super complicated😂 thank you for your help!! X

Mercedes c63s in Australia $200000 ) mercrdes c43 new $110000
Nothing ventured nothing gained : )
So true x
where on the Sunshine Coast are you heading to ?
All I’m gonna say is Australia isn’t the country u think it is through the pics u seen were getting so much immigrants and people coming over since the past 2 years that the country is getting over populated ur gonna see the real Aus through the news and I don’t wanna stay here anymore it gets boring this is coming from a born and raised Aussie Australia isn’t what it was before anymore and I’m thinking about wanting to move out the beaches r everywhere in any country but if that’s all ur after then it’s abit boring or it will get boring for u
Duh, thats whats happening EVERYWHERE. People don't just move because of a picture or a pretty video....
Many English left the UK in 1945 was mainly pommes left the UK for better life to Australia with thier families.
Hey luv.... don't know where you are moving... but I'm in Tasmania... if you need any help at all or support... I mean, I don't have a lot of money.... but I will support you and your family.... and THAT is what you will get in Australia..... xx Welcome :D
