Re: on our Adventure
Bejesus were here!!
Singapore airlines were awesome,especially the airbus A380!!
Singapore termina; was big n clean,food was ace too.
The 2nd leg was cool but last 4 hrs dragged on a tad but the gang never moaned and just carried on watching movies and the like
Landed at 10am with no bag/custom issues at all,infact with landing and in hire car it must of took 45 mins max.
We picked out xtrail up from thrifty no problem and found our lovely place in berwick countryside,with maps n nipping into fountain gate shopping centre(wife was laughing cos thats where kath n kim go
)
Got there about 2ish and then jumped back in motor and walked around mal and got our virgin mobiles pre paid cards (need to unlock 1 phone? any ideas where?) and got a tom tom sat nav!
We got back and all stayed awake till 8pm and all zonked out until me and eldest woke at 4pm,so good night sleep(prob get a hour or so later) and wifey and youngest still counting sheep!
Gonna chillax today and nip to Mordialloc areas and see the sea and then on way back register bank accounts at westpac and get nip into a medicare shop in the mal and register?!
So apart from the shock of living in the hills with beautiful scenery and wildlife(yet to see any cos of the time) my eldest is walking round like some monster is gonna jump on him(neds brain training) oh and wife wants to geta foot in some estate agents doors so she can get her modern home(not too far from beach ideally)
Will keep ya posted,im off to try n get some bloody heat into the place

Re: on our Adventure
Cheers dudes,thanks a lot
Thirty bloody 7 hey!!!
Did the bank thing yesterday with Westpac and wifey n kids all opened account and staff were really helpfull
I have a habit of whoever i speak to,i ask "another" question to try and gain a bit more info about areas/schools/houses etc etc.
Did a bit of shopping in coles,n wifey wasnt a fan but loves
woolies is it?
Gonna get to post office today to pay for using the toll roads or get fined!
Brought some ribeye steaks for tea last night,and fell asleep about 9pm,knackered!
Gonna nip and see a school in Berwick today,but have a feel the commute will be a pain in the arse for wifey to get too city,but the town is lovely!
Will maybe have a gander a bit further up north and a tad closer to the beach(berwick about 25 mins).#
Seen some lovely houses on great new complexes,but a few are not close to ameanaties *sp!
Done loads in the 1 n half days been here,so maybe just slow down today and just do a couple of things
