Dedrei Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Welcome to the forum!!! Sure you'll love it here! There is quite a few members in Sydney, whereabouts are you? We'll be moving to the Hills area in a few months time. Just waiting on our PR to come through, we are currently on 457 visa.We also don't have any kids yet, only two lovely beagles that are our babies. Must have been nice travelling around Aus for a few months.CheersDedrei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooMoo Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hi Dedrei, thanks for the welcome I see you are from Brackenfell-I'm from Durbanville.. We in Waterloo near Surry Hills - so pretty close to the city - where abouts is the Hills area?? We also don't have kids at the mo, I think if we did we wouldn't live so close to the city! How you finding Carines? Stayed there for a little while on our trip ...Yeah, we had a fab time travelling round - we droved from Brisbane all the way up to the very tip of Aus (Cape York), then came down and across to up to Darwin, then down the middle to Alice Springs and the Rock, down to South Aus and through Victoria and up to NSW, Sydney which is were we have settled (for now).Moo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedrei Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hi MooThe Hills are is North-West of Sydney, suburbs like Baulkham Hills, Castle Hill, Cherrybrook, Kellyville. Lots of Saffers in Cherrybrook as well, the renamed it Kersiefontein Cairns is hot hot and some more HOT and HUMID! But it is REALLY so BEAUTIFUL here. Coming from Cape Town it takes a lot of adjusting to the heat and we miss the real four seasons, not just having summer all year. We only have two seasons, namely wet & dry. I am sure you had dealth with some of the tropic weather on your trip up North. Some people might like that it is summer all year round, but I am missing the cold weather a bit, especially now that it is winter everywhere else and we still have hot weather.Small world hey, us both coming from CT and so close. Were you in High School in the Cape? I matriculated 1997. Maybe we even know each other or people that know us, who knows Cheers & enjoy the cold weather Dedrei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
