Melbourne Brits
Hi We are living in Yarraville and wonder if there are any other brits here or in surrounding suburbs that might want to meet up and offer advice, answer questions and just help us get in the swing of things?? We have two children aged 13 and 6 (boy and girl) and are keen to try and make some new friends

If you are a permanent migrant or temporary visitor (including working holiday-makers) to Australia, you can apply for a TFN online at any time after entering Australia. Go to www.ato.gov.au – select ‘For individuals’ on the left-hand side of the screen, ‘Apply for a tax file number’, then ‘Online individual tax file number (TFN) registration’.

You've made a good choice with Yarraville - it is a lovely area, close to the city and one of the better western ones, used to live near there myself but now i live over the river in Port Melbourne. Been here 2 years now and still lacking friends .. it is a bit of a hard slog!
