  1. Hi Neil how you are you guys doing? 7 weeks in you must still be in holiday mode I guess which is great, we've been here somewhat longer but just a little north of you guys in St Clair, were late 30s with a 5 year old son
  2. Ah Maryrose has given me a giggle we were the same always living in the city or northern beachs for years we also went with the westie jokes until visiting a friend who lived out west, so quiet and friendly, as always theres good and bad but hey we made the move out west to st Clair and for the first time I have great family friendly neighbours that are all just great a super quiet street with a good plot and big house and half the price of what we had in the city. ​its not all bad out west lol
  3. I think that shows how much I don't read invoices lol, but your right it is pretty good when you consider how much time they spend there. ​
  4. Hey Cal, I must admit gymnastics does seem to be more expensive our little ones paying just under 400 for his 10 weeks, think its the insurance cost maybe? Oops and a sorry to Bridget for spelling her name wrong earlier, I'm bad, oh wolves youl find some deals the same way but I must admit on our last uk holiday it did feel much cheaper back there, which was why I jumped in not sure if it was a perception or reality?
  5. <p><p>Hi there long time since I've been here and noticed your oz anniversary, how's things been going for you oz treating you well?</p></p>

  6. Hi Bidget, Firstly welcome to Oz, certainly from our perspective a family of three we pay out around the same, but wondered how do you find the comparison to the uk now? we've been here 10 years so a little out of touch after only going back to the uk in holiday mode. We actually lived out by you when we first moved to Oz, great for family and actually pretty easy to get around from, highly recommend hills area to new family's. hope you continue to enjoy what oz has to offer ​
  7. Hi there not been floating around the PIO site for a while and come across your Glenmore park post, we did look around the area a little while ago and seemed a very nice spot we ended up still out west in quiet suburb St Clair which is pretty close, was just a little easier for commute to work. Hows your move going any further updates, happy to help out where we can, there are some more Poms in west syd which I am sure can give some advise too. Steve & Mel, oh and Mikey (4)
  8. Thats all good mate, we can remember how crazy it is the first couple of months, just drop us a line when you up to it. Steve
  9. Some great advice from Mark, really is valuable to spend time with the agents so they know what you want and they will give you a good wrap to the landlord, and the domain sites etc is good as a tool to see the approx rental cost but mostly the properties are on so late they are gone. So where did you end up Mark? youl be in wait of the shipping now then? not fun watching the tracking screen of where all your belongings are in the world and having an empty house. Steve
  10. Hey were crazy late 1pm but thought we would get lunch anyway anyone still here
  11. Well we should be there all being well, have a sniffly 4 year old at the mo but hopefully will be over it by Sunday, if I could get a contact number or two would be great to find you all. cheers Steve
  12. Hi Mark, Great that everything is smooth so far, one of the worst things is getting a good rental as there is a shortage and a lot of investors don't keep properties up to date, but there are some good ones out there. I hear that Starr partners and proffesionals ( st Mary's offices) do a fair amount of the rental management in st Clair. As for a BBQ and beer for sure mate let us know when your free. Steve
  13. SOOOOO did you arrive in one piece, still jet lagged???? I think you brought the sun but also some cold nights
  14. Sounds ok with me at the mo, will double check with the social director later to be sure nothings is in the calendar.
  15. Hey guys, not been on for a while either been busy times, looks like another meets on the go for the etta hopefully catch ya this time round:biggrin:
  16. Hey we are up for it, Steve and Mel with a 4 year old here, let us know whens good
  17. Make sure you bring the sun its been looking pretty good back home the last few days, so when do you guys get out here? have a temp place to stay all sorted ? drop us a line for a get together
  18. Hi rachall not sure if it's still up and running but have you looked atLAFHA allowance? Also where is your job offer you may need to live west syd to reduce your costs but west isnt a bad place, we've lived all over syd you just have to give things a shot.
  19. HI Julie not yet hopefully next weekend the 3rd or 4th, sunday 4th is good for us, anyone else for the 4th???
  20. Hi Polly follow pint pots link she's right we were supposed to do a meet up last weekend, and rearranging at the moment, a few small disasters last week, and Sydney weather usually much better than this, it will get better honest.
  21. Can we rename this site Steve's in Oz???? you girls make life difficult having different names lol. We have a 4 year old so an afternoon at the Etta or something similar could be good, but were flexible like us he's easy with time. Also happy to facebook. Steve
