Moving to Ireland from Australia

8 years ago
Hi,
I was after some positive opinions on moving to Ireland from Australia. My wife was born over there and we visit on average every 18 months. We had a little test a couple of years ago and stayed for 5 months. The kids went to school and loved it. We were always going back home at that time but it got us thinking. Everytime we go over we like to go and see another country because everything is so close and that is part of the reason we would like to move over there. Australia is so far away from everything. A lot of people think we are mad, moving from Queensland to Ireland. Australia is beautiful but so are other places. Australia is so expensive and not the same as it used to be. A trip to Sydney for week would be 3 times the price of going to another country in Europe for a week. I just want some families opinions on their lives. I know Australia seems attract but it's not all about the big houses and sunshine that can make for a happy life.
Cheers, Chad
