Re: Keen to meet Brits on the Northern Beaches

Hi there. I live in Curl Curl. Been here for 3.5 years. All kids at school too. Do you fancy meeting up after schools go back in the new term sometime?

Re: Sydney - what's good and what's bad?

Can't think of a place 15 mins drive from the beach and 1 hour commute to CBD for that money :(

Re: Mosman or Neutral Bay

Not a chance getting a decent rental for that money I'm afraid. Both areas are very busy and traffic is a nightmare both weekdays and weekends. Most schools are pretty good and plenty of choice...

Re: Solving the Sydney Commuting Puzzle

I would suggest the bus or motorbike. Only drive if there are 3 of you in the car so you can use the T3. Parking in Manly is a nightmare also.

My kids go to SCECGS and I find it a generally nice, friendly school. The kids all seem to be pretty accepting of each other as there is a lot of coming and going with expats from all over the...

Re: Instead of what foods you miss from the UK, what have you gained a love for in OZ

Coffee. Never bothered with it in the UK. Was always a tea person, but love it here. Oh, and anzac biscuits yum.

Re: Mosman, NSW - good for families

Absolutely spot on. I really don't know what all the fuss is about Mosman. There are way nicer suburbs if you look around. I would never live there again. In fact we nearly went back to England...

Re: Mosman, NSW - good for families

Mosman is very built up. Houses are packed in like sardines. Traffic is horrendous. I found it to be very claustrophobic. However, it is a very safe area and the ferry ride to circular quay is a...

Re: Brookvale, Sydney

Anywhere up the coast from Manly to Mona Vale would be convenient. You could also go inland slightly to Frenchs Forest, Allambie, Seaforth if beaches are not your thing. There are loads of areas to...

Re: Moving to Sydney

You've chosen the most expensive part of the city. No 4 bed houses for $1000 a week there I'm afraid. You'll need to go much further north.
