Why, "Get Us The F*** Outta Here" of course!!

Just shoot me, I should've known.

Hello St.Georges Girl,

We are currently coming towards the end of our 'stretch' in Henley Brook Open Prison for Unfortunate Migrants. This place is the land that time/style/fashion/culture forgot. We are surrounded by neighbours who look like they are from the set of the Beverley Hill Billies (have I gone to far I can't help it, the real estate agency, who shall remain nameless, ELLENBROOK REALTY 08 9296 7000 - the complaints dept., still have not fixed our aircon after three weeks!!!!!!!!

Thank you for listening.

Hey, love the avatar!!

Hey, I've been waiting for 11 years, get in the queue. Where abouts are you Ree?

hi st.georgesgirl we up in mindarie, where bouts are you?

Its interesting to see somebody else going back. We have been here for 6 months and discussing going back in the Summer (July/Aug). Cant think of anything that will change our minds. Glad we came though as it did cancel out that What if? question you mentioned. We can afford a decent house near the coast but if you cant share with anyone what use is it. I read the other day "You dont miss water until the Well runs dry" So very true.

Hi guys,

Well done! Can't have been an easy decision. Absolutely amazing people for coming and trying.

All the best back in the UK..

Cheers

Ginny

Only just found this brilliant site.
Went over to Perth with a job as a sparkey lined up by my cousin, rented in Alexander Heights for 18 month while I decided if it was the Country for me....liked it for the first couple of months until the sun and beaches slowly wore off, found Perth was boring and I missed my life.
Been back home for 6 months and cannot believe how much I appreciate this green and pleasant land so much after 18 months working as an electrician in Perth, I don’t even mind the wind and rain which we have had for the last week.
Australia is ok for a holiday but to work your butt-off 6 days a week for half the money I earn back home was one of the main reasons for returning home, plus Perth got boring for me after a while.
It has taken me 18 months in another Country to appreciate what we have in the UK, I live in Stratford Upon Avon and to sit on the banks of the river Avon in September with a pint of Ruddles best bitter in my hand was pure pleasure, I wish the media and the papers would stop knocking what I now consider the best Country in the world, shame it took me 18 months to find out.
Anyone remember the mad Sparky called "Raz" from Alexander Heights please give me a shout

Apologises and sorted

I had forgot that was there!!!

It wasnt an easy decision but it was made easy as we all wanted the same thing.

thanks ginny

Yeah we are the same we are glad we came here and tried it and it is true that you don't (sorry we didn't) appreciate what you have at home until you are gone. Luckily enough for us we can go back yipee

It is good to know we are not alone. Get fed up with people saying Are you mad? Why would you want to leave this lovely country? Yes it is a lovely country but it is not home and it is not where i want to be. I can't wait to go proper shopping as well. Miss Next, George, Primark, Matalan and woolworths (still cant get my head round going to woolworths here and getting food!!!).

Good luck to you as well

hi just wanted to say have a brilliant trip home . I booked my flight for august i am going back to scotland after 38 years,i am sooo excited as r my 2 children

Hope you have a safe journey and good luck

Good analogy. I wouldn't be content to live out in Henley Brook I have to admit, but there again, I'm not content where I am either. Are you going home? I probably have read it somewhere but can't remember. There are so many posters going home lately, from all over Oz. Just wish it was me.

Cheers. Paul made it for me, it was the closest to St.George that he could find.

We have friends in Mindarie, we're in Iluka.

Oh how true that is.(See my signature). Where abouts are you?

I will try to remember to ask my OH, he's a sparks. I'd love to know what you can expect to earn back home now, as that is what is worrying my OH. He's built up such a good reputation here and it was a long hard slog, so to give it up now and start all over again, is his main worry.

The very best of luck to you AG. 38 years eh, wow!
