Guest CROWEMAN Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 The Irish are everywhere, so are the English. There's a scattering of the Scotts - but where are the Welsh? I'm Australian (a Melbourne girl) my husband is Welsh..and he misses the homeland..having a laugh with his mates, the sarcasm, the coastal drives, enjoying a good curry - any fellow Welsh living in Melbourne? We are in our 30's with a 5 month old son. Hope to receive a response Natalie. Hi Natalie I'm not Welsh (English, I'm afraid) , but my missus most definitely is. We're currently stuck at Birmingham Airport on our way back to Melbourne after being snowed in last night! Took us 3 hours to get from Monmouth to the airport only for the flight to be cancelled - reminded me why we moved in the first place. Chaos. Shame your hubby couldn't have joined me and my father in law on Saturday at the Robin Hood in Monmouth when the Welsh Rugby team played out of their skins - amazing atmosphere. Hey - we also have a 5 month old lad too - Cricket for 'Straylia, football for England and Rugby for Wales. Seems fair to me. We're bayside in Brighton.

Guest Lewis clan Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hi All, Right then lets get this Welsh meet up in Melbourne organised eh!!! How about Sunday 11th April at about 1.00pm at Albert Park in the city - not sure quite where as it will depend on the best space when we get there, so we will put a welsh flag up!!! Just drive around and spot it!! There are plenty of play areas for the kids as well as barbies! So bring along a picnic and some chairs/rugs, and plenty to talk about. Obviously not exclusive to just the Welsh on here!! So if you fancy a meet up then come along. See you there - Hwyl am nawr!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest klong Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hi I'm Welsh too but living in Perth. Always nice to say hi to someone who gets you and can talk about places you know. I'm from North Wales but lived in Cardiff for years too. Hope you're enjoying Melbourne? I seem to remember there being a street in the city centre somewhere in Melbourne that has a Welsh church because I had a picture taken of myself outside it! :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CROWEMAN Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 great to meet up with you guys today x just like a lovely welsh day x love carole Sorry we missed it. Hey Paul - see you're from Swansea. Met my wife at Swansea University (sorry, I'm English - don't shoot) and love the place. We visited the uni when we took our little lad back to Wales to meet his grandparents in February - seemed a lot smaller than when we were there in the mid 90's. Used to love standing on the North Bank of the Vetch when Molby was the manager - hopeless, but the pies were good. Cockles at Swansea Market every Saturday - I got 500g when we were there in Feb, wolfed them down and then felt pretty rough in the car on the way back to Monmouth - I'm sure the cockles were fine, just my stomach's a bit older...! I was relieved to see that Bryn Roads as run down as it was when I lived there - just as it should be as a student! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
