Beukes Familie Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hi AllI was busy reading the Boerevryheid website on the weekend and came across the link for this site. I started reading and got addicted straight away. Well after strugling the weekend to get registered, here I am.We are a family off 5 who have been in Perth for just over 5 and 7 weeks. Hubby came over on the 9th of May on a 457 and the kids myself on the 25th of May 2008.I must say that I have found it very intimmidating the minute we got here but it al seems better now that the kids are in school and I know where to start looking for places and things. So far we are loving it here, especially the freedom that we have( coming from SA and living about 700m from a squatter camp) but are becoming very lonely and dreppesed as we have not made any friends here yet. My son (16) and eldest daughter (12) is also complaining that it is very boring here as there is not much for teenagers to do around here on weekends that we know of. Any suggestions?It's also my husbands birthday on Saturday and we don't know where to go other than the beach and it looks like it's going to rain the whole weekend.I would like to make the day very special for him as I noticed last night that he is getting very homesick.I would be happy if anybody can let me know of any nice places Kind regardsPetro Beukes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ungerers (Tanja U) Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hi Petro,Hope you soon make some friends. Suggestions for Hubbies B Day, The boks are playing the Kiwis and I am sure he would love to watch the game so for an outing try one of the sports bars to watch the rugby and have a bite to eat, there must be some child friendly sport viewing facilities around.PM me if you want to chat, I am also still settling in, arrived 3 days after you.Take Care,Tanja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beukes Familie Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Welkom Beukes familie.Ons is ook van Perth en is amper 2 jaar hier.Nie n dag spyt nie Julle gaan nog baie gelukkig hier wees gee jul net n kans om lekker intepas en te settle.Geniet dit hier.UrsHi almalDankie vir al die welkoms en goeie wense. Ons voel al bietjie beter, was vandag uit vir ete saam met my man se baas en sy gesin vir my man se verjaarsdag. Ek weet ons moet net geduldig wees. Gaan volgende week koffie oggend toe en hopelik kan ek n paar mense daar ontmoet wat net soos ek voel. Ek is nie spyt dat ons gekom het nie, raak net eensaam. Ons het n baie aktiefe sosiale lewe terug in Suid Afrika gehad, daar was altyd vriende of die kinders se maaitjies by ons. Die stilte maak ons mal.GroetePetro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
