Smile Hi, I'm new here !!

Just thought I'd drop in and say hi. My boyfriend BrisbaneBrummie just joined and I must say this site is brilliant, so much info from people in similar situations to us.

I was born in Brisbane and have lived there for all of my 32 years until this year when I came to South Wales UK to live with my boyfriend.

We are returning to Brisbane to live arriving on November 27 2003. Am counting the days ..........



Nice to see so many people immigrating, best of luck to you all.
It's been such an adventure for me, living in a different country.

The best thing of all is my boyfriend...TREVOR I LOVE YOU !!

thank god it's Friday!!!!

Hi Rach,

Thanks for your welcome
Yes I know Samford [about 40 mins north-west of Brisbane] and Redland Bay is about 30 mins east of Brisbane.

I have a friend who lives in Cleveland which is near Redland Bay, lots of sea breezes and a madly expanding area..lots of new cafes and restaurants... nice

I live in Robertson which is about 10 mins south of Brisbane City.

Cheers
Sera

Hi, welcome to the forum. Maybe you can start a thread for us on the best ways to intergrate in Australia - " Do's and Don'ts!", that would be quite interesting!!!

Best wishes, Leigh.

Welcome to the nuthouse! Think I've already introduced myself to your fella.
I'm off to Brissie on Hallowe'en - Bloke lives in Clayfield, and I can't wait to go out and join him.

Neath Wales vs Brisbane???

uummmmm

where to start?..:scared:

weather
Brisbane - sub tropical, brilliant summer storms
Neath - cold and overcast - occasional bursts of sun [too cold for my liking!]

service
Brisbane - pleasant and friendly
Neath - barely human

food
Brisbane - anything you like!
Neath - Indian, Chinese or the local chippy

in all honesty, I would not be living in Wales if it were not for the love of my life being based here. It has been such an adventure living here and I am looking forward to showing him my Brisbane.

any Brisbane questions, fire them at me!!!

Sera
