Hello poms in western australia we are Vicki and Leigh and have recently moved to Scarborough been here for about 6 weeks or so and is as fantastic if not better than we ever dreamed of!!! Kids love school only one problem meeting people when your not at school. Missing chit chat, gossip and just general adult conversation any one in Scarborough or surrounding areas feel in a similar situation would be great to hear from you!!

Ahhh...Scarborough, that takes me back down memory lane. When I was in Australia on my working holiday visa I lived in WA and spent alot of time in Scarborough. I loved Trigg Island cafe (I worked there for a while) and Hillary's Boat Harbour is fab to sit and chat to fiends...also...we used to grab a bite to eat at Observation City at Scarborough.

Hope you all meet up and have fun!

Glad your enjoying it there Vicki. Trigg is beautiful. We used to take evening walks along the beach as the sun was setting....so pretty!

We are relocating to the Sunshine Coast when we finally get our visa, but have fond memories of WA.

Take care
