Guest scoop Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hi Kieren I'm 33 so probably not what you were expecting! I am planning to move to Australia too and I am very scared some days I just want to give up with the idea but then I think of all that sunshine and every weekend being like the summer holidays and I want that for myself and my little boy. I was in Australia for a year and loved it, I know you will too. It will be a big adventure for you and I know you will love it when you make new friends. Have a look on the internet and have a look at the place your folks are talking about and see what you think to it. If there are any questions there are some very nice folks on this forum who will be more than happy to help. I am just sorry my lad is too young to chat to you. My niece is 13 and they are thinking of coming out to me so I will see if she will have a chat with you if you would like? Take care mate hope it all goes well for you.

Guest Ian & Sarah Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Hi Kieran, My name is Sarah. I'm Australian and a bit old (30 this Thursday coming). I moved to England about 2 years ago now and am moving back 'home' next year. When I was about 9 my parents moved us from Sydney to Canberra. I had to change school's, make new friends, etc etc - just like you are doing. We moved house about 5 times (my Dad's job took us around a bit) and then my mum and dad broke up when I was 14. We ended up on the move again! My mum stayed in Sydney but somewhere else (not close to my school anyway!) and Dad moved up the coast. I ended up taking the plunge and moving with Dad - AGAIN new school, new area, new friends etc. It was REALLY hard so I moved back with mum...... After all this and until I moved out of home and left school (about 5 years later), I had moved loads, went to plenty of different schools (my brother did more schools than me!!), but the BEST thing was - I made loads of friends and I'm still in contact with them all to this day (and now I'm in England!)......the best thing for you is that you'll have the internet! I wish I so had the internet back then. I had to hand-write letters to friends and sometimes they'd take about 6 months to reply! Plus Kieran, there are so many outdoor activities. I think your mum said you're going to Brisbane or was it Perth......either way, you can join groups called Nippers. I did this from the age of 10 till about 14. Basically it's surf-life saving skills (essential for Aussies).......you play beach games but the scary bit for me was swimming out to buoys in the surf. I did enjoy boogie-boarding when I was younger but never stayed long doing surfing. I can ride a longboard to this day though (also called a malibu). Gotta run but if you wanna let me know anything else or stuff that I can tell you, just let me know. Cheers, Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest val4 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 hi Kieran, my name is saskia and I have a brother called niran. I am nearly 8 and niran is 6. my mummy and daddy want to go to oz. they have booked a ticket to go in august this year. i would like to tell you how i feel i am excited but niran is scared he is scared of the spiders and missing his freinds but the good thing is that it is sunny out and you can go on the beach everyday. we have to sell everything as we can't take it with us which we are sad about. we have to leave our dog murphy which will be very sad. but niran said you will see kangaroos which will be fun. the plane will be long and fun because we have been told that they ahve tv in the seats. we are giong to hong kong first and staying for 5 days daddy wants to see the great wall of china, i hope this is ok, thankyou saskia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
