WidgetofOzz Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Hi all,My family arrived in Melbourne in May 2007 and after a lovely stay in a Studio Apartment for 6 weeks, we finally moved into our house. Amazingly our container took exactly 8 weeks as promised by Magna in SA, unbelievable.We came over on a 457 visa that was sponsored by my wife's employer and I got work, IT mainframe programmer, within 2 weeks. Enjoying Melbourne very much, but would like to have 2 days in the Kalahari right about now. Missing the family is also kicking in, but I must admit I can not see us going back. Not having to get up everytime your dogs bark and not sleeping with one eye open is really good for me.I will however admit to one thing, there will never be another team but the Blue Bulls!!!Greeting,WoOzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansaPlease Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Oh no, not another Blue Bull... Just kidding, welcome to Melbourne, Widget. Know exactly what you mean about not sleeping with one eye open. I couldn't believe the lack of locks on doors and burglar bars when I got here.

WidgetofOzz Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Thanks all, I am sure it can only get better. Now if I can only convince the family to come visit, I am sure they will lose their scepic natures and join us. But each to his own, it is ther choice. To bad about the boks, I would have loved for our 'B' team to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
