Went through it all last year when I was supposed to go and the job fell through so I know exactly how much of a mess I'm going to be in. Useless twat.

18 days and I'm just enjoying the topsy turvy emotional rollercoaster ride of my life! Its awesome. This is a big deal. It would not be right if it was not accompanied by massive amounts of emotion. :thumbup::wub:

Ah the adventurous spirit of youth! Fab idea. Hire car already booked and not sure jet lag and hostel go together in my already fragile mind. But I will stay up there the next time. Going to Orange for a week on the 8th but should be able to make week after. :thumbsup:

And now my PC is going in a box! Shipment being collected at 12pm. Tattie bye all - who knows when I will call in next! :rofl::p:thumbup::thumbsup::eek:

Hi there fellow loners.

I just found this thread...it's great!!! I was beginning to think it would be just me amongst all the families....you guys give me hope (and laughter)!

I'm moving to Perth on a 457 in April (hopefully). I keep reading about people going to Melbourne and Sydney (fab places, loved living there on my working hol), is anyone going to Perth?

Deb :)
