Re: Anyone heading for Dapto??
Hi Vicky
I live a couple of towns down from Dapto, and its ok it really is, a good starting place, we are at Albion Park, in a rental until we get to know the area a bit better, my daughter 14 attends school at Albion Park High, which she loves, she sayes its so different from UK schools. Like someone mentioned the main road thru looks a bit dull, but there is a fantastic new shopping mall in Dapto and an Aldi's haha.
Any questions, please let me know and I will try to help you all I can.
Cheers Nadine

We live in Balgownie, not far from you guys. My boy played soccer at Albion Park a week ago. I gotta say the whole Illawara area seems pretty damned nice, lovely views, lovely beaches, and on the whole, lovely people.
You could most definitely choose worse, as Hutch said the general area is booming, the steel works can offer careers in just about any field, railway included.
The very best of luck to ya, I'll buy you a schooner when you get here. Anything you need to know, like Nadine we'll do our best cos we know full well how daunting it can all be

Re: Anyone heading for Dapto??
Nah no news as yet, i keep looking on my emails like every couple of seconds in the hope that my agent has sent soemthing through but i haven't got anything yet. Having looked at a lot of the timelines though it could be anything from 3 weeks to 3 months after they have received the med's and ours were only sent to lcu on 11th jan, aparently there is currently an 8 week delay on their processing. Mind you having said that it is my birthday next week and i have to work so an email saying that we had our visa would just be the ultimate pressie, fingers crossed.
