What did you think of the area then? Was it different than you expected?

Hi Andy & Julie,
We were originally supposed to be going to Wodonga but got a bit of a shock when we arrived as it was soooo quiet.
We decided to check out Geelong & Pakenham. We stayed in Geelong for a week and the people were extremely helpful with all of our questions. One night we went for a takeaway and a lady asked us where we were from, when we said Manchester she said she was from near us and had lived out in geelong for 40 years. She said you'll love it here, gave us her telephone number and also offered to sponsor us!!! Mad eh!! We then went over to stay with friends in Beaconsfield but didn't actually make it to Pakenham but our friends said that it's growing rapidly and bringing a lot of jobs to the area. I think we had already decided by then that we preferred Geelong.
BA have lost my suitcase in Heathrow - we arrived back in the UK on 21st Feb!!!! no sign of it! :-(
I hope it all goes well for you guys.
Good luck
Chris & Loz
