We will visit with family in Sydney untill 18 March and arrive in Canberra on 19 March 2009. We are leaving SA with PR visa's. My e-mail adress ----------------- (would love to hear from you!) We will appreciate meeting other SA's in Canberra.My husband asked if you could please ask Johnny if tool's is very expencive in Australia. My husband is also a mechanic (if I'm not making a mistake Johnny is also a mechanic??) and he cannot decide if it would be worth it to bring his tool box with (and buy some new stuff here) or just to replace it in Australia. He also want to know if you find FEW drill bits and cutting fluid there (? cost, would it be better to buy it here?).I suppose Johnny will know what "FEW drill bits" is, as I honestly don't have a clue (ha ha).Regards!Sandra (my spell check is not working, hope I'm not doing to bad with my english spelling) Edited January 29, 2009 by Chris & San Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiehopper Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi there, just seen this post. Me & my OH will hopefully be part of the Canberra set soon. Just waiting for my SA police checks & fingers crossed our visa will be approved. Although based in not so sunny UK at the moment still very much a Saffa girl at heart. Can I be added to the list too? It will be great to meet up when we eventually arrive in Canberra.CheersAussiehopper & Co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilet Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi ReneWe are relocating to Canberra next Saturday (21 March 2009). My husband, I and our two children, aged 3 and 1 will be leaving Saturday evening, and arriving in Canberra on Sunday evening. We would also like to meet and keep in touch with other South Africans in Canberra. I have also send you a PM with my e-mail address.Kind regardsMarilet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Witch Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hello Rene,Is the Riverina too far to be included in your list? We are in Wagga Wagga, about a 2 hour drive from Canberra which is the closet city to us (despite being in a different State!) Both Sydney & Melbourne are approximately 5 hours drive from us, so we are very centrally located - with Canberra being the nearest capital city to us. To attend events in Canberra a two hour drive can be done with relative ease.Please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny & Rene Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi everyone,Just to add to my previous request.The response wasn't as big as we had hoped it would be.I am going to finalise the list and will be sending the list out on friday 5 June 2009.If anybody wants to add their infromation to the list, no matter if you are here nor not, maybe you are on your way that is also ok. Send me a PM with an e-mail address where I can contact you and get all the information I need for the list.The list will only be distributed to the people who is willing to share their information with the rest of us.Kind regards.Rene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
