Newcastle (what's it like)
Hi guys,
We are in the processing of obtaining a visa and like many brits have never actually been to Australia. We did intend to move to Brisbane but a friend of my parents lives in Newcastle and has said he can get my husband a lot of work. What's Newcastle like?????????? I know its like asking "how long is a piece of string" but I don't recall many people saying anything about Newcastle - more Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide. Any suggestions? We have a four year old son. Thanks :-) |

Re: Newcastle (what's it like)
Well thanks guys - think from the sounds of it we might go ahead with our original plan of Brisbane. My whole family are emigrating and my parents friends (who are from Newcastle) have said they can get us loads of work (hubbie is a sparkie and dad/brother are builders). Think mum is trying to sway me to Newcastle as she thinks it'll be easier for work contacts etc.
Thanks for taking the time to post - I did chuckle at the link of the thread with all the aggro! Ems:thumbup: |

Re: Newcastle (what's it like)
It's a cold city on the North East coast of England famous for it's pub & club scene, Brown Ale, an underachieving football team, the bridge, a bunch of tv bricklayers, easy women and folk who smurke tabs.
Not worth the 2 year visa wait in my opinion ... (Well there's two that are :p ) Hope this helps. |
