Guest Barrian Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 There'll hopefully be 4 more (from Barry) heading to either Perth or Melbourne sometime over the next few months (wherever I can get a job), so nice to see a few Taffs sticking their heads over the parapets. Looking forward to being able to support THREE teams playing England at rugby (Wales+Australia+the rest of the world) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olly Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 RE: Patterson Lakes, there are a few Brits there, I used to go the fish n chip shop there, don't know what it's like now, but I used to travel just for them. There are a few Brits there I believe (they like the waterfront houses) ask the guy in the chippy, he'd know for sure !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
