Good luck with your preparations for moving!

Sorry... replied to your other post before I saw this one!! Strange as this may seem.... we moved to Petersfield from Southsea! We had a flat in Palmerston Road and we now live in Rams hill. Small world! If I see anyone in Oz wearing a Pompey top i'll be asking if it's you!!

Hi Jo... Looks like we're colonising Melbourne doesn't it. I'm also glad other people are moving there. I did find it strange that not 1 of the programs was in Melbourne.

PS... I don't agree... I think Gosport is quite nice. I've spent many evenings out there (this was off course when I had a life, i.e. before I had kids).

Careful - You could be starting something there!!! :-)
I guess the good news is there won't be any saints fans walking around Melbourne!

Hi All

We too are well and trully Pompey Fans and we are heading to Melbourne.

Hi Jo and Al, we are from Gosport, small world. We are going to Hoppers Crossing, Point Cook, Truganania going to check them out soon, providing our house sale goes through we should be there by end of May 07. We will let you all know how we do and what it is like.

I agree, Down Under should have gone to Melbourne they used the same areas over again, a bit repetitive I think, sadly lost interest towards the end.

Maybe we can do a Pompey Fan BBQ Night when you get there.

Take Care

Mandie

Melbourne

hi everyone,
I agree that they should of shown Melbourne on wanted down under, the only possible reason i could think of for not showing it is the weather. Depending on when it was filmed, it may of been bright sunshine in most of the places but it could of been their winter, as you will know some places in aus dont get colder than 15 degrees, where as melbourne can be very hot in the summer and very cold in winter. Maybe the programme makers believe that the only reason us brits go over is for the sun! how narrow minded!, my friends family have lived there for over 20 years and they all love it.

Hi Sainthurlock

You are more than welcome to our Pompey BBQ it would be good to have someone to do the dishes (only joking).

I am sure Saints are going up again into Premiership LOL.

Nathan
