Re: Are you 'old' for your age?

I just want to say that this thread has made me laugh until I cried :rofl:

The "bigfoot" theory set me off and I couldn't stop, I'm still laughing now :lol:

Re: Living in Melbourne

We live in the west, and definately think its worth a look at. The house prices are much more affordable and the newer deveopments are not so far out of the city as in the East. We currently live...

Re: Bacchus Marsh - Melbourne Victoria

Around 35 minutes or so in the car, possibly a little longer (I was judging it to Altona), but definately under an hour. The Deer Park by-pass has recently opened and cuts the travel time down, no...

Re: Bacchus Marsh - Melbourne Victoria

We were in that neck of the woods a few weeks ago. Its a nice area, but the only bit of useful information I can give you is that the Deer Park by-pass is now open and has cut the journey time into...

Re: Asbestos fencing?????

The Environmental Protection Agency can give you a list of places in your local area (and I think your local Counsel as well). We have asbestos outside our house and it cost us $50 to get it tested...

Re: Asbestos fencing?????

I hope not. Obviously you have never seen what inhaling asbestos dust can do to a person.

Re: 2007 to 2009 Arrivers in Australia **Please Read**

We arrived in February 2008, love it here and could not imagine moving back to UK (where I am from) or Ireland where OH is from.

Re: Do you feel safe walking at night in Melbourne?

Yes. But I suppose it depends on where you are walking. The suburb I live in is fine. But there are other areas I would think twice about walking in at night, but you could say that about any city.

Re: Where to buy a house Melbourne

No, thats for a second hand house, and thinking about it you would probably need a price range of $400,000 to $450,000. Pretty much all new build houses in Altona are town houses unless somebody has...

Re: Where to buy a house Melbourne

We live in Altona in the western suburbs, which is beachside. If you look at realestate.com.au you will probably pick up a decent sized house on the far side of Civic Parade for around $400,000...

Re: The dog?

We brought our two dogs with us from Ireland. It cost more to fly them here than us. The quarantine was the cheapest part, around $700 for two dogs, much cheaper than if we had to put them in...

Re: plastering jobs in victoria?

Hi there

From what I can figure out a lot of the plastering here in victoria is tape and jointing. We had never come across it until we came here. In Ireland all houses are wet plastered, with a...
