Love your post but why are you so scared to change? I moved to Australia from Brazil (and this is a very loooong way) and I'm not regret it! If you feel anxious about it just remember yourself that you are only few hours far away from where you used to live and you can always go back (If you miss it)! Just go for it and open yourself for what's coming! Also, tell me more about Beechworth! I would love to have a look. I live in Queensland and I am always looking for new places to explore on my days off! :)
