Guest yvetteb1 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 hi we have been here about 2 weeks now and our feet have not touched the ground! but we are thinking we need to meet some people now. who is in sydney now or in the next few weeks? we live quite close to city so could meet at any time more or less. there are lots of good bars and we have done our best so far to check a fair few out, but if u know of anywhere good to meet, let me know. we don't have access to internet yet, so will do my best to come into internet cafe to check for replies. yvette and simon (living in woolloomooloo!!!!!!!)

Guest mutikonka Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Handy for Harry's Pie Cart! I'm always up for a beer, and there are some nice places around the 'Loo and Paddington. The Old Fitzroy on Cathedral/Dowling St corner and the Green Park on Victoria Rd (up near St Vincents Hospital) are nice old fashioned pubs.

Guest rdyer_911 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hello - Sounds good. I've been out here for 5 weeks and keen to meet up with others for a drink. Gonna get the ball rolling with a time, date and venue and see who's up for a drink or 3! How about Tuesday 8th July, 7.00pm onwards at The Green Park as suggested by mutikonka? 360 Victoria St, Darlinghurst near to St Vincents Hospital.

up4answers Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi Yvette and Simon, and everyone else. Yvette and Simon, we spoke before you left, how did the move go? Great that you're out there and getting on with it. We're flying on the 25th Aug hopefully, so maybe we can arrange another beer in the future. We only get 2 weeks in a serviced apartment from my new firm, so we'll have to do some mega quick area searching for a place. We're torn between whether to live closer to town while we make friends and bed-in at work, maybe somewhere like Paddington, Woollahra... or whether we should go to Manly which I really like the look of. Any suggestions? Can any of you guys suggest things you wish you'd done better in preparation for the move? Thanks in advance Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? ****** get some references if u want to rent. if all else fails and u don't have any, i can fake u some, u can give me ur details and i am willing to say i have rented u be40r. renting has some serious comp over here. we live near city which is just v. handy for work, and we don't have to fight with the traffic, which can be a bugger. manly is lovely butalways looks ultra expensive. paddington may be cheaper, and loads of great bars and restaurants.

Guest sammy11 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I found it useful to bring the following; proof of mortgage payments made in the UK last mortgage statement last few utilities bills uk bank statements reference from current/past employer there is a shortage of property to rent in sydney, atleast having the above information prevents you from being disadvantaged through not having reference documents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rdyer_911 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Looking forwards to it, should be a good night. Don't want to sound like a girl (sorry!) but just so that we can all spot each other, I'll be down there at 7 and will be wearing a red & grey stripey hoodie - so should be easy to spot! Happy to send anyone my mobile number in a personal message if you'd like. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
