Hi desperate mother in uk,
We live in Terrigal only a few mins from Gosford - have one of my daughters aged 13 here with me in oz. Your son has nothing to worry about in fact the only problem he will have is not enough hours in the day to fit in all the outside sports thats available.
sailing - tennis - surfing - basketball - soccer - ja boxcise - kayaking - canoeing - camps - golf - rugby etc etc
not sure when he will fit in his homework !!!!!

Hi not in NSW, but missing friends was my daughters biggest worry. First couple of months she lived o msn. Once she started school, she made friends very quickly and settled in no problems

Hi gizmo, cannot tell you how relieved i am,cannot wait to show my little fella your thread, hopefully,this will sway him.I hope you dont mind, but have you lived in Terrigal long? Is the schools around the area okay,do you have to pay a fee? i want to ask so many questions about the area. But that has taken a weight off my shoulders,thought i would have to sedate him,and let him wake up in Australia LOL.
