Sandra Forer first came to Australia at the age of twenty. In 2016, she fulfilled her longtime dream of emigrating and moved to Sydney. Pictured is the Harbor Bridge and the Opera House.

It’s still winter in Australia right now. A week ago, Sandra Forer was able to swim with her dog Lincoln for the first time in the mild temperatures and sunshine of the sea at Omena Beach.

Such is the quality of life for Sandra Forer in her new home. Just enjoy the sea view at Omena Beach with Lincoln.
“Sometimes I still think it’s all a dream,” Sandra Furer-Blake says. She is particularly interested in the location of her home in the state of New South Wales in southeastern Australia. It is only 2 km from the sea on foot. “The most beautiful beaches can be reached within five minutes by car.”
Five years ago, the Swiss woman immigrated to the Australian city of Sydney with ten moving boxes and two suitcases. In baggage, a four-year work visa and a marketing position with a distributor of kitchen and household products.
In 2020, about an hour north of Sydney, two kilometers from the beach, she managed to buy a single-family home for about CHF400,000 and has now completely renovated it.
Lots of support from the employer
She was in Australia for the first time when she was 20 years old. She learned English for three months in Sydney and then toured the country with a friend. “I was really excited about Australia at the time and had a dream about emigrating,” she says.
During her stay, she met an Australian with whom she had a long friendship. Six years ago, contact intensified again via Facebook, and Furer returned to Australia for a two-week vacation.
