Re: Is it really that expensive to live in Oz?

Hi Amazulu - don't come across too many people from that part of the world. I grew up in Eshowe and spent much of my youth on the beaches of Mtunzini. Been some while though, when last were you there?

Re: Weather: Perth vs Brisbane

Not ALL the time, but enough to drive me crazy. I'm not a big wind fan and if I had known Perth was quite this bad would have chosen Queensland. The windy season runs August through December, but the...

Re: western australia or queensland?

We looked at both Brisbane and Perth originally, but settled on Perth on the basis we have more friends here. In hindsight, for us, this was a mistake. Since settling in Perth over 3 years ago we...
