H and M were living in England. They moved there after H graduated as an architect two-years prior, subsequently finding work at a local architecture business shortly after. They had previously lived in a flat in England. They kept their flat as an investment, renting it out soon after moving. M was working part-time at the local pub, whilst he completed his university study.
One Saturday morning, whilst they were catching up for coffee with their friends, they noted an advert online regarding an opportunity for an architect to join an architecture project in Australia. H was intrigued by this and followed up the next week. It turns out that the project was of 12-months duration, based in australia, working with a team to redevelop a dilapidated office block. After negotiating with her current employer to take the 12-months leave, H submitted her application and before long she received the call to inform her that she was successful in her application. H was heading to Australia!
Due to Ml’s studies, they agreed that he would remain in England and visit on occasion. H signed the 12-month contract with Van Diemen’s Architecture Ltd, the Australia based architecture firm, which then subsequently brought H to Australia on 30 April 2017. As well as maintaining her joint interest-bearing account with Ml, H set up an Australian interest-bearing bank account, where her wages were paid into. H would then transfer some of her wages back to Scotland to continue contributing to their flat in England and other ongoing expenses. Van Diemen’s Architecture Ltd provided H with an apartment in Australia for the duration of the contract.
Whilst in Australia ,decided to join Evolution Runners, a local running group, to keep active. Through the running groups’ charitable connection, H also became actively involved in a local charity campaigning for women’s rights. During the Christmas and Easter breaks, M would travel over to Australia to visit Helena, where they would then travel across Tasmania exploring the sites. They even took the Spirit of Tasmania to Melbourne over the Easter break.
