How about you- how long are you moving out here for? Amelia Manly, thats pretty sweet! A mixture of emotions at the moment. Really excited because its a new experience, but slightly worried as i have to leave things in other peo0ples hands in the UK. We are coming out on a 175PR visa, so assuming we like it, we are planning on staying for good. Recruitment aye! I'm unsure what i will be doing when i get out there. Possibly look for some form of work, if only to make friends etc. How long are you guys out there for? Where abouts are you from in the UK?

Whats your OH doing at the Mater? I used to work in Radiotherapy & Ultrasound at Royal North Shore..... I know the area well. We live on Setfon Park, opposite the boating lake. OH is a Radiographer. She starts there on 10 May i think. Gives us enough time to sort out perm accommodation. How you finding things over there? Where abouts you living in Sydney?

Nicholas Hi, We're coming out on the 457 visa, valid for 4 years, I've got a job lined up for 2 and a half years, transferring with my company. Tom doesn't have a job yet - think he will start looking properly when we get out there. We are arriving on 3rd May, and I start work on 10th so not long to settle in before I start working. Any idea of where you want to live yet? Lib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hulagirl Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 How you finding things over there? Where abouts you living in Sydney? Pretty good overall thanks, with hubby being a local it make certain things like looking for a place to live alot easier! Being away from loved ones is hard of course....and I wouldn't say making new friends in Sydney is a total breeze, a number of aussies have said to me they find some (not all of course!!) a bit insular, but don't let that put you off. It's like moving anywhere new I guess you just have to get out there & meet people. Sydney is not a cheap place to live but as a couple with both working you can have a good quality of life here, and its much easier to be active and do more outdoor stuff, which suits us. We live in Balmain which is lovely- it's great as you can live your life and not be dependent on a car - not the case for many places in Sydney -shops,pubs etc are walking distance and it's easy to get into the city which makes commuting relatively easy. We are on the ferry routes- I love getting the ferry to work on the North Shore!! If you're looking for rental accommodation try and bring references with you and proof of your income, this will help with your applications, the rental market is crazy, especially in popular areas and you need this information handy. Hope this helps!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KikiK Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Hi All, Been living on Northern Beaches (Freshwater) which is a great spot, easy express buses to city and access to ferry as well and a great beac, pub and small village feel with friendly locals and a 15min walk to Manly. I have been here just over 2 years, am 32 and am here on a 457, was made redundant last year but stuck it out for 8 months and managed to find another sponsor and job, takes some perseverance and it can be tough at times being so far away from home and the familiarity of everything but the lifestyle makes the hard times worthwhile, always looking to meet new people, esp female friends for a few drinks in Manly.

Guest KerrieC Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hey Everyone, I am originally from London and the other half is from Sheffield, I am 28 and Daniel is 32. I live in Milsons Point with my hubby, been in Sydney for about year and half but we did live here a couple of years before that when we were on a working holiday - been on and off travelling for the last 4 years. Anyway just looking to meet more people to hang out with and have a drink. All our friends here are Ozzie's which is good but it would be nice to have some mates who are in a similar situation to us. Just looking to meet some new people, as a lot our other friends have now gone home or off travelling again and don't always get the chance to meet new people. So would love to meet up with anyone who would be interested......first time I have ever been on anything like this but thought I would give it a go, as the theory of waiting of flocks of people who are like me and want to be friend seems to only work once and while! Hula Girl, sorry I didn't reply to your message that you sent me ages ago unfortunately had a family member ill back in the UK and then had to go home for a visit so kinda totally forgot about replying to anyone. Anyway, just wanted to say if anyone fancied meeting up I would be more than happy to. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millievanilli Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 hey Paula! I am living in Manly with my boyfriend, whereabouts are you? have tried to organise a meet up or two but its always hard trying to co-ordinate with when everyone's free etc! Would be great to meet you- are you free this Friday? Few of us thinking of meeting for the first time at 4Pines in Manly, would be awesome if you could make it too? xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulaMac Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Im not free this friday but usually I am always free. We live near Parramatta but we drive so its easy for us to get down that way. We would both definitely be up for meeting. Are you guys both working. My partner is still studying but works part time. I was working but we going through defacto at the mo so am not currently able to which means LOTS of free time- esp in the week. Maybe we can arrange something for the following week?
