The days out here are cheaper it would cost me a minimum £150 that includes the petrol to get somewhere decent and back again for a day. where as its free here. Dont need 2-3 holidays a year just to try and get some sun and piece and quiet away from the dross £5000. The wages are far better and we have much more disposable income here than the UK, also must add that I do work more hours as the work is here to be had. I wonder how many people on here posted in the early days that they where coming to Australia for the lifestyle and climate and that money and income was not the driving force.

Christmas eve tea out then down to the beach at Moana great sunset a quick swim and kick the ball around. Christmas day up at 6.30 , 7.30 the room floor had vanished beneath wrapping paper 10.30 Lauren had us down the beach again to check out her new surf board. We had a picnic down there for dinner then back home around 2.30 to put the roast pork and full mashings on. So far very relaxed no one planning our days or throwing tantrums for not spending our day with them. All in all I have loved every minute. Hope everyone else has enjoyed Chrimbo so far.

yep got a garage full of it and a spare bedroom.

Find a comfy floor .

Great news Sharon. I'm sure you will love it here are you still settling in Noarlunga. Laurens loves the school it has a good community feel. If there is anything we can help you with just give us a shout. Have a great xmas and new year. Trev Vicki and Lauren.

The fuel price in the uk is always ramped up.

cheers tina

Hi bought a new washer just before leaving the uk worked fine for 5 week now the cycle wont start. Anyone out there that can assist please let me know. Happy to pay the going rate.

I thought that was the idea of a thread so people would respond.

I think you will need a TAX FILE NUMBER this can be done over the internet. Dont quote me on this. They have an office at Colanades Noarlunga. All the best for when you arrive, we have been here 10 weeks know and loving it. Only bit of advice I would give is things are a lot more relaxed and there doesnt seem to be any rush to process things.

I wonder why they call us whinging poms.

We stayed at Aldinga bay holiday village. Basic accom but has everything you need 2 double beds fully equipt kitchen, nice decking, pool, and right on the beach. We booked it through century 21 at Aldinga I think they charged us $380 A WEEK maybe more know as its the summer. Good luck the weather and beaches are fantastic we have done 10 week here know and are all loving it.

Pm me I have a van but you would need to hire a removal trailer.

The white card is just a health and safety test you require to go on site. If you want to go on your own you will need a builders licence I think dont quote me on this as I had variation of answers when I asked this ?. If YOU JOIN THE CITB YOU GET THE WHITE CARD HALF PRICE.

Sounds like there may be a problem with your damp proof barrier. Sika supply products that should solve the problem.

Go on holiday somewhere cold.

Hi all. Yes we arrived about 10-11 weeks ago, we had 9 week in Aldinga before moving to Port Noarlunga South. I have been playing 5 a side up at Seaford sports centre on a Tuesday night, we could do with a few more players as its the vets and need a breather on a regular basis if you fancy it just let us know. All the best Trev.

Hi . I dont know the answer but my daughters Lauren 10 just started there 4 weeks ago. We live at Port Noarlunga South. Lauren seems to have settled in really well and is enjoying school.

Hi Nic. I have been busy with my courier job I didnt have much look with the building side but to be honest Its worked out well. I am in this morning its not a hard job and just radio in when I leave the house. I think the building jobs will pick up after xmas is over or so everyone says. We are having a BBq today with a family from Uk that we have meet. Your more than welcome to come if you have the time. I will pm the address and phone number. Good luck with the car.

Hi Sharon. We did exactly the same rented the house out, its making us money so why sell. Port Noarlunga is fantastic with a beautiful beach probably one of the best in Ozz. Plenty of shops at the Colananeds Centre infact to many. We live at port Noarlunga South. Lauren my daughter loves it here we go to the beach when ever we want, which is most nights. Its a really laid back lifestyle here with a good community feel. I would enrol your daughter at Port Noarlunga Primary if thats where you want her to go as I know its getting near capacity with all us Poms moving here. If you need any help just let us know as they say here no problem mate. Trev Vicki and Lauren 10.

hi have you tried mick at Aldinga beach. Micks Autos they do check overs I now they are very reasonable he is also on the forum somewhere.

We play in a five a side league for over 35's on a Tuesday at Seaford feel free to join .

Hi we came 9 weeks ago and are now living at port noarlunga south. We are all loving it hitting the beach most nights, you soon forget about work and back in the holiday mode when you have nights like tonight down at Moana.

I think I would go back for a month 1st just to see how dark and glum it is for the next 4 months. Everyone crammed in like sardines ,Hidden behind the curtains watching TV because the weather dictates what you can and cant do. I cant think of anything worse than being stuck in rush hour traffic on a cold and wet morning or night. Each to there own though good luck with what ever you decide at least you tried it and had a go.

We stayed at Aldinga Bay Holiday Village for 9 weeks. It had everything required kitchen, lounge, 2 double bedrooms, bathroom, nice decking, garden, pool also its right on the beach. It was basic but we managed Ok. I think for 4 weeks and over it works out at $380 per week with century 21 Aldinga.
