thanks for that

lol at the car one as that will be next i'm not bothered about cars, i know you can get some decent ford utes to tow my bike trailer

i would qualify for the skilled migrant visa as i have checked. just need to talk the missus round. we're a bit old for the backpacker visa but would not want to work anyway - just have a long visit where you get to see real life (how the services work, what supermarkets are like etc, etc, all day to day stuff) rather than just be on a long holiday
