Got a dilemma? Ask Mum

Today we’re announcing the start of a new series at Mum’s gone 2 Aus: Australian relocation dilemmas…there are plenty of them!

We will start tomorrow and plan to publish a dilemmas article each week until we’ve run out of common questions and dilemmas relating to family relocation to Australia (it could take some time).

Australian relocation dilemmas

The initial topics we plan to cover include;

• Should we go on a reccy? (Also spelt reccie \ recce \ recci…)
• How long should we stay in short term accommodation?
• Should we use a relocation consultant?
• When and what should we tell family and friends about our move?
• What’s more important – living by the beach or having a pool?
• Should we ship all our furniture?
• Should we ship our car \ motorbike?

We’re avoiding “Should we move to Australia?”

We’re going avoid the biggest dilemma of all… “Should we move to Australia?” because it’s too big a question to answer and the correct response depends on a number of individual and personal factors. If you’re trying to answer this question we provide food for thought in a number articles at Mum’s gone 2 Aus, here are some of the best places to start reading;

• Why we love our children’s lives in Australia
• Two years on: the then and now of our relocation emotions
• Moving to Australia doesn’t change where you’re from
• Relocating as a stay at home mum (SAHM) is tough
• What did you give up to move to Australia?

Got a dilemma?

If you have a dilemma relating to your family relocation to Australia please contact Mum, we’d be happy to help and if the topic affects others planning their move we will publish a response that helps everyone. Thank you.
