Hi Elizabeth, I know exactly how you feel. Im also making the move on my own and I'm 34. In the middle of packing boxes now with only a very short time before I fly (26th March), and also have to fit in quite a few goodbyes. Thankfully I have a job to go to, which I was offered a couple of weeks ago now - nice to not have anymore telephone or skype interviews which are all a bit odd and normally mean getting up quite early in the morning. My friend moved to Perth on her own November 2011 and is absolutelly loving it and would not dream of coming back. See it as an adventure, best not to have any regrets in life! I will let you know how I get on.
