Re: Why Sydney????
 

ha h ah aha ha ha ha
ive just laughed so much at this thread now.
it has just went mental :rolleyes:
oh well at least its back on track.
as for me
came here because of work
nearly a year
i might, never know. the kids are very happy here. so we will see
now someone asked about travelling from maroubra to cbd
to be honest i couldnt tell you. i know it takes about 25 mins in the morning by car. but i work about 5 mins from home, so i dont ever need to do that run. but theres a few on here that could tell you.
its hard to describe maroubra, but i will have a go.
the beach is empty most of the time, so u dont get all the posers u get at coogee and bondi. its not really built up round the beach so its not the trendy place to be. thats why we are here. we go for a walk along the beach at night and dont bump into the numptys with shades on at night and a pink poodle tucked under their arm ;)
maroubra has a lot of parks with loads of sports going on most nights and days. everything is about 15-20 mins away from us, as u might have read in another thread.
to be honest i think u really need to live here to really know if u like it or not :o
a drive though really isnt enough.

    > 1) why did you dicide on Sydney?

Of the three places I've been to in Australia (the other two were Cairns
and Brisbane) it was the only one where I could imagine myself living. The
big city buzz without a lot of the crammed-ness and griminess of other big
cities. I just fell in love with the place. Biggest job market too.

    > 2) how long have you been here?

This time, two weeks. Previously, 2 weeks holiday. So yeah, honeymoon
period.

    > 3) do you intend on moving north later?

No plans to. Is it a common thing to do? I could see myself moving
slightly further away from the centre of Sydney at some time but not too
far.
