How Moving To Australia Has Changed Our Lives
We relocated to Australia over 5 years ago, with our family from the UK. There are obviously pros and cons to a life abroad, but overall life here has been pretty awesome. Whether you are thinking of moving here, or travelling, we're going to let you know what Australia has to offer, and what we love about where we live.
🇦🇺 Our HUGE Aussie adventure started in 2016 when we moved with our kids from the UK to Australia. 6 years on we are creating videos to show you what living in Australia is like.

Guys, I just stumbled on your Channel and have subscribed. As an Australian born in this country, I am very happy that a quality family like yourselves have decided to set up home here. I hope your family find peace and love in this country and when your girls are grandmothers they look back and say ‘Mum and Dad’ did the right thing by us when they moved to Australia. Welcome to Australia and I hope your lives are rich, healthy and happy. Cheers 👍

From the opposite side, an Aussie who lived in London for 3 years, like so many of us, I totally agree with you about the weather and lifestyle. I really noticed in London that most social occasions are indoors and cost money. Whereas in Sydney, on a typical weekend I'd just walk to the beach with a book and a bottle of water. And yeah, BBQs with friends in your backyard or the park is the norm, which is much cheaper and less structured than going out together to a restaurant. Edit: Have you gotten to the stage yet where you get excited for rainy days?

@TheBAMFamalam 2 жыл бұрын

It's certainly easier to have get togethers here. We are absolutely excited for rain now, and never in a million years did we think we'd say that! Also, our favourite season now is winter!! 😂 We are happy for green grass, a full swimming pool and water tanks! 😁

Bright blue beautiful sky’s, that would be a dream plus the scenic views what’s not to love. Less crowds, so much more space, although you may feel safer, don’t become too complacent, still be aware of your surroundings etc as people sometimes think because it’s sunny it means less crime. At the moment driving in London is a total nightmare at the moment.

I'm glad you are enjoying your new property , what if any native animals or birds have you encountered since you moved in . I've only got the usual quarter block but in the last week I've had visits from Kookaburras , Galahs, Sulphur crested cockatoos , Lorikeets a Blue tongue lizard as well as two possums . There's also some big bats that I haven't seen but have heard them flapping around at night . I'm assuming that with the size and location of your new home you would have many encounters with the wildlife . We also have a huge green tree frog which sounds a lot like yours I've named it( Shut up you noisy bastard )but he or she must be deaf because it keeps on singing .

@TheBAMFamalam 2 жыл бұрын

Haha that's a great name 😂😂 There's loads of birds, we're not sure what they all are though - there's kookaburras, a magpie that follows Ben and watches him, some beautiful blue and yellow birds that look like budgies, some birds with really long legs, and some with really long necks, and then heaps of others! We've seen ducks, kangaroos, a snake, a large lizard, green tree frogs, and some tiny frogs too. We heard a bit of a ruccas last night, so maybe there were possums, but it was too dark 😁

Thank you for watching. We noticed that mistake during the edit - when talking freely to a camera, it’s not the same as when you write something down and can see it and correct it. There are mistakes in every single one of our videos, which is why we do the outtakes, we are happy to laugh at our own expense. As long as something is not massively wrong we do not retake, as we want our videos to be natural and unscripted.
