Default Finally Here!!!!!

Well I am finally here on the Gold Coast! Started work yesterday and so far so good!

Look out for the apartment block in Surfers with a Liverpool flag hanging off the balcony on Thursday morning and that will be me! LOL!

Thought I was never gonna make it here and the last few weeks were stressful as hell. Head is up my arse but enjoying the benefits such as walking along the beach at 6am and seeing the sunrise over the Pacific! One of the most awesome sights I have ever seen!

Any recommendations for beer establishments r appreciated as I like beer very very much!

Are you coping well with the move ? How do you manage without the Sun Newspaper every morning and the foreign food ?

Seriously welcome to Australia but try not to be too much a pom hey ?

Hi Gav and welcome to Australia ...our Liverpool flag will be flying tomorrow morning as well ....oh gawd, I hope so
I can imagine how stressful it must have been for you, it was much easier when I came....enjoy! We are moving house in a few weeks, just a few short suburbs away and that is stressful enough :O
