Moving Down Under!



On 30th September 2014, I got a lift with my mum from my home of Pembrokeshire, to meet up with my brother in Swansea, south Wales. We had a nice lunch together, before moving on to the train station. Having a coffee at the station, the three of us stayed together for as long as possible, before I needed to board my train. It had cost very little extra to buy a First Class ticket from Swansea to London, so as this then included all food and drink and guaranteed me a comfortable seat, I had gone ahead and indulged in the First Class ticket. I met my husband in London and he showed me to our hotel for the night.

On 1st October 2014, my husband officially joined the Australian Army, having transferred from the British Army, and that afternoon we were taken by minibuses – along with several other families in the same situation – to the airport for our flight to Hong Kong.

On 5th October 2014, after a 2-night stopover in Hong Kong, we finally arrived in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, for a different kind of adventure: EMIGRATION.

I had never been to Australia before, and emigration brings about many mixed feelings, but I was excited about my new home. Since coming here I have been enjoying it more and more, a trend that I hope continues as long as possible!
