  1. Try North Canberra Futsal at Lyneham my boy done it recently but unsure if they do an adult league but worth a try.
  2. Hi we stayed in Medina james court on northbourne ave 5 mins from city Centre and is reasonably priced.
  3. Hi there we have been here nearly 2 years and have loved every minute of it. Easy to get around lots to do and our son does loads of sports.
  4. We are 190 ACT sponsored and every 6 months bang on the day so far they have sent the migration questionaire asking if we still reside there. We don't want to mess up our chances of not getting citizenship by not giving it a try in the territory we live in, anyway you may love it like we do so give it a go.
  5. Hi Faye we are in Bonner and have a son who is at Good shepherd Primary and is 6. We are always looking to add some friends be good to catch up. You never know me might have seen each other.
  6. Thanks for your reply, I have had physio in february and that was my biggest turning point so after 1 year now all good and feeling well even been skiing in Perisher with a back protector and loving being back on the snow and my bike still unable to run as shockwaves go straight up the titanium rods attached to my spine but 2 out of 3 things isn't bad.
  7. The last change was in Feb 2014 and they got rid of a lot of skills. ACT didn't change theirs for the last 18 months prior to Feb. The way things are in Canberra with the public servant slash I'd be surprised if it get upgraded yet. I am in the private sector and things have been up and down since August 2013 what with restructuring and redundancies. Still good here for other jobs according to seek.com.
  8. Hi Kelly We are living in Bonner and the Good Shepherd primary school is catholic and is fee paying around $80 a week term time. Our son is doing really well there. Hope this helps.
  9. I am surprised you have not heard from an ACT migrant officer as ours was all done and dusted within 8 weeks.
  10. Definitely from a dealer as they provide rego and roadworthy test but only a 3 month warranty if under 160000km. This will vary from dealers
  11. My advice is too book short term accommodation for a month that then gives you time to look for long term accommodation as you won't book it from the uk. Bring as much money as you can as it is generally expensive here on most things. Good luck.
  12. They are strict on the requirements of the application make sure you have every element of the application.

    I love canberra!

    No bitching from me. I broke my spine here enjoying myself, I earn enough money for bills, It is cheaper than London, I use petrol here for leisure not commuting, my son has tried 5 sports already here in 3 months and I am a coordinator of one. My life here so far has had ups and downs but I would rather be here in Canberra doing something new and refreshing every weekend. LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT AND NO REGRETS.
  14. I will disagree with the price of cars here as we purchased a brand new Mitsubishi Outlander in August for $23990 on the road price that equated to £14500 in the UK at time of purchase and I could not find one in the UK Classifieds for that price so I think sometimes you have to shop around more here than say Sydney but you can get a bargain in Canberra if you try hard enough.
  15. Little update from me as on the 15th of July I fell off my mountain bike on Mt Stromlo and broke my back and 9 ribs and 2 shoulder blades. I am lucky to be alive and walking. Had great help from the Canberra Hospital surgical team who put me back together again! I will be back on my bike soon as it was a freak accident.
