Well, here we are, at long last in the final stretch. It is still pretty surreal, last three days of work & sorting out the few small items still left. We have said most of our goodbyes & Conrad has already had his farewell.
The hire car will be collected on Tuesday, after Tammy’s farewell lunch. The company van will then be dropped at the workshop.
We have stocked up on vitamins, toiletries & a few items so we’ll be organised for the first month before we will need to look at new brands.
Savannah’s school report is excellent & we rewarded her with a few small items (need to keep our luggage limitations in mind). Even during this very stressful move, she has improved & excelled at some tasks, we are SO proud of her.
This may be our last post for a while, till we sort out our connection on the other side.......
Farewell RSA.
Perth, watch out, here we come!
RSA to Australia - a new chapter
Since we received our Permanent Resident visa (175) on the 31st March 2008, we have begun preperations for the start of a new chapter in our lives: Australia.
We thought it would be great for everyone to follow our journey to Australia, so keep watching this space as we will update it as we get a chance.
Conrad, Tammy & Savannah

Wow, the last weeks went quickly. Thanks for taking us along with you in the last days of the ride! Travel safely. I don't want to be too melodramatic, but this is a huge step in your - and one day not too far away - our lives. almost like the passing of one life for another, a mini-death of sorts, I guess. Bittersweet.. Noel Stanton, a priest I knew, who was killed some years back here in Cape Town - a victim of violent crime wrote in his diary a week before he died: 'Death is the blowing out of the candle because the dawn has arrived.' I wish that for you guys - much happiness and blessings for your little family in your new home. Take care, Rodney.
All the best of luck with your journey. Hope it's not too stressful the first few months.
Well done to you for taking such a big step.
