Cleveland is quite nice south of the city, at the start/end of rail line, about 25k out of city, quite a few managed compounds there with pool etc

Re: Whinging Pom House seller

We went out with around this amount in '95 and it did start to run down pretty quickly once you start to buy things and there's no income coming in.

Re: Main reason for moving back?

Far away (only 24 hours doesn’t seem a lot but when combined with jet lag and cost it’s more than you anticipate).
Climate can be very harsh, heat can be overbearing, both dry heat (Adelaide) and...

Re: $5000 for dental work

This is typical of Aussie dentists, it's a ripoff, most Aussies don't go to them unless it's an emergency, they view them the same as second hand car salesmen.

Re: Told a couple of people I was going home. (OH MY GOD)

I don't have any problems within me, none that I would consider life threatening or serious. I didn't leave the UK to 'escape' from anything, but did leave Aus to. You have to be true to yourself...
