Re: The Melbourne thread
Just wanted to say Hi.
Usually I lurk on this website as some of the posters are quite scary. This seems like a nice thread especially as I recognise a lot of people from Britvics. Hello Buzzy, Paul and Cloe, The bears, Oztennis, Lindsay Clan et al . Is everyone from Britvics here
?
We're flying to Melbourne for our reccie on Thursday with a 3 year old and 6 month old baby. Not looking forward to the flight. Actually I'm having panic attacks about travelling so far with young kids. Can't wait to finally get there though. We're planning on moving permanently around October time.
Regards
Gail

Re: The Melbourne thread
There is something about the britvics site. It's unusually friendly! Lovely helpful people - I always recommend it to people heading for Mel.
I have ventured onto other sites that are very bitchy.
Poms in Perth is terrible - it's beyond me why anyone would post on there

Can't wait to meet up - the photos Bordy looked fab.
