Melbourne over 2 years and loving it
I just spent over half an hour writing my long-ish post about my experiences here then when I went to post it the site had logged me out argh!
Oh well. No time to write it all out again so I'll just say briefly that I love it in Melbourne, I didn't expect everything to go smoothly so I've been through a few ups and downs but the downs have been tiny and insignificant compared to London life. I miss Manchester (you can take the girl out of Manchester blah blah) and I need to hear more northern accents!
Ok next time I write a long post I'll do it in gmail then paste into here when I'm done

Is easy to get to watch the games, staying awake or getting up the following morning is the issue lol. Not the same as attending the games though, not sure what can fill that void

What took you to WA? Yeah having the 4 seasons here is really nice, we get those clear frosty mornings in winter, cold with lots of sun it's fantastic. You gotta come

My OH got a job, was a quick way in. Otherwise we'd still be in the UK saving up and having kittens about the exchange
Think we may head over to Melbourne in Decemeber, to escape the constant40C plus days here. Have to say though I now feel cold if the temp goes below 20C lol, to think we left UK and it was -7C .

Re: Melbourne over 2 years and loving it
Good move, I'd have been gutted if I'd waited and moved this year! I must say I don't like the lack of central heating here and my hot water doesn't get hot enough (???) but where I am now isn't as cold as my last flat thank goodness. But anyway, we have a full week of sunny 30 degree days this week woo hoo!
