Jasperyogi, I am originally from North Wales but lived in South Wales before moving over here. No accent though I am afraid as moved about a few places and lost it. But still have a little twang. We lived just outside Cardiff. PM me would be lovely to meet up. I am in Altona with my family, husband, Lee and our two sons Will and Matt (6) Danielle x

First thought: I wont be going to the East Coast...... Second thought: Never going into the sea...... Leave the sea to them I reckon.

I am getting happier and happier day by day I am here but there are things I miss...... Sausages yes! Choice of brown sauce for OH Choice and price of cider (again for OH) I missed a sparkly new Xmas jumper too D x

Jon82, Welcome to the forum and good luck with the research and your decisions. You have come to the right place for information and an insight into life here in Melbourne. There are plenty of people on here who have been there and got the tshirts I personally have only been here 6 weeks, with my husband and two children (5&6). So far we are really njoying it. I have had a few wobbles about missing home and have we done the right thing etc, but who doesnt?? Feel free to ask away anything, dont worry about if you repeat other peoples questions, it is a huge site for you to trawl through and sometimes its best to ask away and get as many answers in one hit Danielle

Hi Diane, We moved out here at end of November last year, so been here 6 weeks or so. We are now in the West, Altona. Its been a tough few weeks with Christmas and New Year but starting to get there. Please feel free to contact me when you arrive. I have two boys, Will is 6 and Matt is 5 (6 in 12 days). Danielle

Kay, Thank you for that!! It was really nice to meet you today. Thank you so much for all the advice. Would be lovely to meet for a drink soon. Danielle

KazzE, We are looking to moving to the West. Where abouts are you? We actually have 3 inspections tomorrow in Altona. I have found that Altona is the only place myself and husband can agree on and have found houses that we both like. Would be lovely to meet up, will message you to arrange, thank you. Danielle

Hi everyone, Just joined this forum as it was highly recommended by a lovely lady I met on the tram today on our way to Victoria Gardens, and her on the way to Balwyn. I was so thankful that I sat opposite from her with one of my sons leaving my hubbie dealing with the youngest a seat back. We had a very eventful tram journey where we all gto kicked off as the tram lost its brakes Her name username is Special Kay and if you know her would you please guide her to this page and also thank her for all the information she gave me in the space of 15 mins. I have moved here with my husband, who has been given a job with an AV comapny. We arrived on 23rd Nov and he has worked most days since then. We are in short term lease apartment supplied by the company which is lovely but not where we are hoping to be in a months time. We are presently based on St Kilda Road, and shall be for the next few weeks. I am hoping to meet some other mums out there that may help my sanity. We have two sons. William who is 6 and Matt who is 5. They are adorable but have really missed being at school and having time apart, as have I . Would be lovely to hear off anyone who is in the Melbourne area and looking at meeting up and possibly becoming friends. Danielle x
