Guest JoanneHattersley Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 ........................................................................................................................... Sorry to say (to those in Vic) but I hated it! Sorry I think you have been cought out Jo. It clearly says you Hate Melbourne and agree with the post of Hayley who is having a right go at Melbourne. No good lying Jo you get found out! It's OK to hate a state you can't be positive about every place you go. All the best Geoffrey Hello there Geoffrey, Ok, yep I said hate! Im not lying about that! My initial "hate" reaction was after my first visit. On reflection maybe hate was a strong word. Dislike is the better phrase. I looked on Melbourne as everything I had left in the UK and I had no intention of living the same life. My husband says he hates the place tho! Dont get me wrong, we stayed at the Mornington Peninsula at familys beach house and that was lovely. I am sure that there is a lot more of "country Melbourne" that we didnt get to see. The "hate" was towards the city aspect of life there. Having come from London, the last thing I ever wanted was to live in the rat race again. The longer I spend in Australia the more I will get to know it. I have never been to WA, ACT, NT, SA. Whose to say whether I will love or hate those states???? Time will tell. I can only speak on what I have seen Thank you for taking the trouble to scroll through my old posts to remind me of what I said. As a moderator on here, I have to read and reply to lots of posts and it is impossible to keep track of EVERYTHING that you say on here. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ian&Lou Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I like it here in QLD, but then I havent been to any of the other states yet. Also we live on the coast and do get the sea breeze (it's been freezing so far, so hopefully it wont be too unbearable in the summer). Also I'm not the one who has to work in it, it may be that Ian decides it's too hot for him, only time will tell. We were initially going to head up to Townsville but after checking temps and humidity decided that it would probably be way too hot/humid for us. My neighbours used to live there and have said that the weather is much nicer here (temp wise). I have found people to be really friendly so far, we have great neighbours who have all come to see us and make us feel welcome in the area. So for now I'm more than happy to stay in this area, but who knows what the future will bring. Lady Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHen we moved into Sinnamon Park, our neighbours came over and said hello. Helped us out around the house and made us feel part of the community immediately! I like QLD! Like u say Lou, years to come..........who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest melly Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Hope you enjoy Noosa just as much in the summer when it is FULL of tourists ! Maybe think about living just outside (Tewantin area ?) instead. Great place though !
