To clarify....don't beleive what you see at an Outback Steakhouse its not really like Australia, we dont have kangaroos hopping down our streets or crocodiles or snakes they live in the wild. There are not sharks at every beach its safe to go swimming. My mum doesn't want me to move there because she thinks americans have guns its dangerous and they are all overweight.
Well im trained in elderly care and tourism, i dont care about politics too much. I wanna be near a soup plantation and not ages away from the coast say an hour or so drive. I could work in outback steakhouse people would find that funny and no bloomin onions by the roadside they are in the garden . I dont know if they are any poisonous snakes or spiders that could get close to ours down here...a cotton mouth or a rattle snake lol
So you aren't retiring? You need to work?
Have you obtained a work visa? Not as easy of a process as you apparently think I'm afraid. Maybe you are applying for citizenship and want a green card? I thought the wait on that was several years though, so I'm really confused by what you are trying to do.

Souplantation the restaurant? Or a big farm where they grow soup? If you mean the restaurant, it's called Sweet Tomatoes in NC. There are two, and you will find both of them in Raleigh, which is a lot more than an hour from the beach.
First you'd better check on the work situation, if you do need a job.
I have found the NC lifestyle to be the closest to Australian life of all the states I have been in (49). Slower paced, friendly people, mild winters. Especially small town Australia - obviously there is nothing like a Melbourne or a Sydney in NC. Finding a nice place close to the water will be your challenge, maybe poke around in the Coastal North Carolina forum. If it helps Raleigh, NC does have it's own Aussie Rules football team.
And coming from Tassie you will already be used to all the jokes about Southern people!
married to an american...im trained in elderly care and tourism...yes i need to work
OKAY, thanks for filling in that gap - was wondering how you planned to just move here!
If your spouse is an American surely they have an opinion on the best place for ya'll to live? What is her/his opinion?
