Queensland Girl Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi JackieWe have lived on the Gold coast for 8 years and have settled well. My brother-in-law lived in Steiltes in the eighties, and of our best friends live in Witrivier, so we know your area quite well. Keep the questions rolling.

Lisa Mac Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hi JackieOur family moved from White River to Brisbane 6 months ago. We are starting to feel fairly settled but I can still picture the spectacular landscape, granite koppies and citrus orchards that we left behind.... I will always miss it I think, it is a particularly scenic area of South Africa. The humidity takes some getting used to here, even though I was born and raised in Durbs.Let me know if I can help out in any way.RegardsLisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kunnunarra in North WA. Graniet koppies, cirtrus orchards ens.(We cant live there but at least we can visit hey?) I promise you the body is a wonderful thing. and you will get used to the humidity. I nearly succumbed our first year, and the next year I felt that the summer was "cooler" where in fact it was hotter than the previous year. Each year I think it was more bearable than that first year..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
