veevee93 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I live in cheshire currently in Gold coast atm and I've fallen in love!! Won't be making a permanent move to australia for a few years we are both on the skilled shortage list, I love QLD but hubbys job is in the financial sector so unless he lands something in brissy it looks like it will be Sydney or Melbourne for us It doesn't really matter for my job nursing but because hubby will earn like double my salary I will be following him where he can find a job.

Wolla Bolla Bing Bong Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Morning all, Huge apologies for taking so long to get back on here but I have been extremely busy with living life here in Brisbane and frickin loving it. I am a Carpenter living in East Brisbane and have been here since arriving in October 2011 on a 176 Sponsored state visa, which was kindly changed to a PR. I had to complete the Carpentry assessment exam so if you have any questions regarding any tradie questions then pass them on. I also have recommendations in where to live, places to see, what to do on the weekends in the River City plus so much more so dont be shy, say hello. Just a little about myself, I love to cycle (but no lycra shorts thank you very much), Kayak and Scuba dive. This great state offers it all. You can repay me in cups of Yorkshire Tea and / or fig rolls :wink: In addition I am originally from Manchester and know a sneaky place out west which has all the comfort foods of home. Its called Chumleys Britain on the Bayside out in Birkdale. They have lots of goodies such as Pickled Onion Monster Munch to Sage & Onion Paxo Stuffing, plus lots lots more. They also have a fish and chip shop and its about the only place in Australia where you dont get a funny look for requesting a 'Barm Cake'. I head for when I have a craving for Chips & gravy on a barm cake So if anyone has any questions about anything really then fire away, only to happy to help Time for a brew P.S. And for any mad Football fans out there I can show you how to watch Match of the Day for free and totally legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgies2Oz Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Where have you settled B Bear? We're from Worsley and just in the process of sorting out a visa.

Hopefully I will have bragging rights after the Derby tonight. cheers Pete Hi B Bear (Pete), Haha glad to see you found Chumleys I tend to go there when I need my fix of chips gravy and a barm cake I am actually a Man United fan and I have just read the scores on BBC Sport As for Match of the Day you need to be using Google Chrome web browser. Then download and install 'Zenmate'. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zenmate-security-privacy/fdcgdnkidjaadafnichfpabhfomcebme?hl=en Its easy to set up and will ask for your email address as a password and install in the top right hand corner. What you do from here is click on the Icon in the top right hand corner and select the United Kingdom. When this is done and its up and running head to the BBC iPlayer website after Match of the Day has been on or is currently playing. If you catch it live you can restart the show even if there is very little time left. Where abouts in Brisbane are you living? Yeah I would be keen for a beer sometime.

Hodgies2Oz Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hi Matt. We're from Ellenbrook and hoping to come to Brisbane when the visa is sorted. I do want somewhere with a good primary and high school. Had originally thought of the Chapel Hill area but seems there are quite a few Brits saying the Coomera area is great, so now I'm wondering which side of Brisbane to go to??? Hubby and son are massive mountain cycling fans do that will come in to the decision!!!! Can't wait though, can't come quick enough. Ps. Bet u miss the White horse ...NOT!
