One month in !!
Flew to Melbourne on 7th June, great flights with Singapore airlines.
Stayed at rellies for 2.5 weeks, hired a car and just enjoyed the dodgy weather melbourne has to offer. Went to the aquarium, puffing billy steam train, the dandenong ranges and visited the city. I stayed in a suburb called Halam, close to Dandenong, First thoughts was wow I like this, not dandenong it is a dump !!!! Went to safety beach and went up to aurthers seat, Overall had a great time. Flew onto Brisvegas with virgin blue, another good flight,. was collected by rellies again. stayed at their house whilst we sorted ourselves out. Anyway we have rented a house in Wynnum west. renting was easy, so don't let it bother you !! fully furnished the place, I mean bought everything, went to the QLD STATE police auctions and bought a 2006 commodore, nice car. Anyway most things are sorted, kids of to school tomorrow, manly west,. Had such a great time here already, I am settling in very well, I know it is early days, but I am falling in love with the place.. Only thing left is to find jobs, applying for a few today ! I have found somethings very different to the UK it isn't all what I expected, but the weather is great and having a picnic in manly by the water whilst the kids play in the park overlooking all the boats is idylic. I haven't seen any large spiders yet although we have ghecko's on the balcony. Love to tell you more but time is short at the moment... Hope everyone is well and hope to see some of you locals around !!!:) |
