Re: Wollongong or Newcastle??

Another tick for Newcastle here, it just has got so many options. If you are into surfing Newcastle itself has some lovely suburbs (abit pricey though), but you also have areas such as redhead a bit...

Re: What sort of idiots do this?

I would hope not! Mostly kids and seriously deranged people I would think. After the guy threw his kid off the bridge nothing surprises me anymore.

But I know of one case where a volunteer was...

2 years in Lake Macquarie

I don't check in at this forum very often anymore, but thought I'd take the time to post a short 2 year in update. My wife and I plus one dalmatian moved to Lake Macquarie in January 2007, after a 3...

Re: Is Perth really that dangerous?

Having lived in Perth in 2001-2002 and now in Lake Macquarie NSW for two years I would say there is a difference with regards to break ins. My theory is that breaking in is always going to be easy,...

Re: How Long Have You Lived In Oz?

Coming up to 2 + 2 years now. We do miss family from time to time, and of course not everything in Oz is as good as we wish it to be. But on the whole we are happy, with a great lifestyle we couldn't...

Re: Pure sensationalist scaremongering

That may be true, but I think you will find they lead the way in efficient use of water. It doesn't make sense to keep wasting water and just build desal plants. I'm not saying extreme water...

Re: Big dilemma

We have settled in Newcastle, or Lake Macquarie to be precise. A great place to live for us. It doesn't have the sensation factor of Sydney, but we have everything right here very accessible. The...

Re: Learning to sail Sydney or the UK?

Forking out for a course isn't the only option.

If you are keen to learn and willing to commit to sail once a week there are always boats looking for crew for the weekend races.

Re: Skin cancer checks

They bulk billed. I just showed my medicare card and filled out a form, and that was it. I have no idea about if it works with 457, sorry. In any case it probably won't cost much as it was very...

Re: Is it really that bad?

We lived almost 3 years in Italy before we came here. I like Australia so much better for its quality of life and its variety. The average italian meal in Melbourne or Sydney is better than the...

Skin cancer checks

I wasn't aware of this at first, but you can actually get free screenings for skin cancer here in Australia. Definitely worth doing for piece of mind. They actually removed one of my moles and had it...

Re: Pathetic News Broadcast

I don't necessarily agree. By that time most people knew as much as we could know about the SAS signaller, as it had been covered throughout the day from 7.30 in the morning. The toe thing was news....

How about Toronto Australia? http://www.toronto.com.au/

Re: Newcastle, NSW – Schools, areas?

Can't help a lot, but I think they are all good areas (but quite different). I would check the catchment areas of the Kahibah and Dudley schools, some nearby suburbs are of variable quality. If you...

I think both. A two speed economy is already in place, just extrapolate what you are seeing now and you'll see where we are going. Australia is...
