Sounds like your doing great! We've been in Manly for 5 months now and it does get a lot easier. We love the area so you've made a good choice there! Soon you will be able to sit back and enjoy!

Definitely stick it out. You wouldn't stay in an area in the UK that was full of racists and idiots, so apply the same rules to Australia. Find a decent area with intelligent people and make a new life there.

Greggsy and Co.

We know exactly where you are coming from. Been here just under 4 weeks and everything you said echos how we feel.

Cheers for posting....I've just lost all that strength!
