Re: A good GP and a good gynecolog in Hornsby?

I'm in Turramurra so not far from you, and I just use Balmoral Street Medical Centre in Hornsby. Dr Karen Oswald is fantastic, but very popular, so if you just walk in you are unlikely to see her but...

Re: can my daughter get admission in primary school in age of 4 ?

Re: What punishment would you expect from a school?

I would have called the police when it was clear the school wasn't going to do much. The boys are 13, it was assault. Maybe the parents will be a little less relaxed when they have the police on...

Re: Sydney Cost of Living?

Expect it to be eye wateringly expensive then you won't be shocked :D

Seriously though, you are sensible doing your homework. DH works with a lot of people who come over on 457s then spend their...

Re: What you wished you had brought with you

Agree with Dreamy, if you are coming to Sydney (or Melbourne) you definitely need coats, jumpers etc. I rather stupidly left all mine behind and really regretted it (and have not managed to replace...

Re: 16 year old has decided to stay behind

I wouldn't give him the option personally. You say that you truly believe that coming to Oz would be the best thing for his future - for another couple of years he is still the child and you are the...

Re: Qantas or Etihad?

I've just done a trip home from Oz to Dublin with Etihad. They are code sharing with Virgin so my top tip would be to make sure that you fly from Abu Dhabi to Sydney on a Virgin flight (they were...

Re: Do NSW have "Xmas Sales" like UK??
