Ajay Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Looks like Durbs is giving Centurion a run for its money as the fastest emptying town Welcome, Bells! Hope you find lots of useful information here. Where in Sydney are you planning to move to, and what kind of visa are you entering on?LoveAjay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to meet you.My hubby will be working (457 visa) in Newington (near the Olympic stadium, I have been told) so we are looking for somewhere within the 45 min travelling time, family orientated with lots of things for my boys to do....we live near the beach now but are happy to go to the Hills area....sounds lovely! Any other suggestions? Just finished a search on rentals in Castle Hills and there is plenty of nice looking places but don't know about it's location?Cheers 4 nowB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sunshine Sister Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Howzit Bells !!Welcome to our forum. We are looking forward to having you here with us in Sydney ! Congratulations on your excellent choice ! Can't wait to meet you at one of our braais/coffee gatherings. Castle Hill is quite big and there are some fab areas, depends on what you are looking for. There are loads of Saffers in the area and you will hear afrikaans wherever you go. PM me if there are specific streets you have in mind, I may know some of them or if there are other questions I can help with. Have you decided on a school for your kids yet ?

Ajay Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hello there Ajay....was asking Riekie if she knew you as you give some awesome advice & I'm glad u r in Sydney!! Can't wait to meet you.Thanks Bells - nice to know my inane chattering is being helpful It'll be great to meet you when you get here next year! I live in Cherrybrook (in the Hills), and really like it. It's got plenty of facilities for the kids, has good schools (how old are the twins?) and is convenient for getting to the city. Because it isn't close to the beach, you get more value for money as well. Generally, all the Hills suburbs are nice - just have to find something to suit your personal taste.Looking forward to meeting you in person, and see you around on the forum!LoveAjay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
