Hi

we are going to Perth, my dads there and we love the city!

We will initially be staying near Karrinyup with our local beach being Trigg / Scarborough.

Have tried to attach a pic, hope it works! The first one is on Christmas day so alot busier than normal!

Second picture is from a trip we took south of Perth, we just happened to take a wrong turn and came to a dead end with this beach at the bottom!! HOW LUCKY - We've never seen such a beautiful beach.

Good luck
Cheers
Shar

Cheers

I live in a very rural area just south of Woking within a common and a nature reserve and my last two jobs were in Godalming and Surbiton so I don't know much about Wokings concrete jungle.

You're joking about the Abo bit, right? You haven't even emigrated to Australia yet and you're already referring to them as Abo's.

That is a term of endearment out here along with wog, bastard, Pom etc. Aussies love their labels and use them frequently!

Yesterday I was at a school fete quiz and the guy kept saying to women ' oh you wouldn't know the answer after all you are blond' and then to another woman 'Oh no not another blond one'

Get used to it is is far from politically correct out here!

Peter

Get used to it you say. I'm an Australian by birth, not a foreign UK resident like yourself. I grew up among Aboriginals and not one of them would appreciate being called an Abo. More to the point, calling someone a wog won't win you many friends either.

I seriously don't suggest you go out to Wooribinda or somewhere and start calling them Abo's.

I'm off to work in the Sunshine coast in half an hour. I'm trying to wangle a wireless network connection and mobile phone so I can type on the beach.

Abo is an abbreviation of Aboriginal.
Wog is a term for Italians, hence the film 'the wog boy'.
Brit is an abreviation of British.

Bastard is really an insult but hardly the same catergory as 'Abo'.

I think your'e just trying to start an arguement where there isn't one

Im not going there!!!!!!

Melbourne in October. St Kilda area initially but then not too sure.

Call an Aboriginal an Abo and you'll get more than just arguments; that I can assure you. Call an Italian in Australia a wog and you'll get more than just arguments.

I'm an Australian of Hellenic ancestry. Gonna call me a wog as well?

I'm an Australian Pompeywill; I went to school with Aboriginals. To you, they're just people on TV that live in a country on the far side of the world..

I can't get over how racist and clueless some of you people can be. You seriously shouldn't be emigrating to Australia if you think calling an Aboriginal an Abo is a freakin' "term of endearment".

It's about as endearing as calling a black man in the US a nigger.

But, by all means, don't believe me. Emigrate to Australia, head to Redfern, call every Aboriginal you meet an Abo. I'll turn up to your funeral.
