Where do you live?

Julie-Ann · #1 03-09-2010, 04:01 PM

We have so many lovely new members on the forum I thought it would be nice to get to know each other a little.
So how about we start with which city or town do you live in? What's the best thing about living there?

I'm from Perth, born and bred. I'm a south of the river gal- in Perth it is a bit of a thing which side of the river do you live on

.
The thing that is best for us about living in Perth is family (I have to say that my mother is a member of this forum

).

Your turn

I live in Brisbane, lived here most of my life. Did a stint (not jail time) in Sydney for a few years when I was a kid.
The best thing about living here is probably the weather. And where I live, it's a 30min drive to the Sunshine coast and the Gold coast.

I'm in North Manly (Sydney)...and thrilled to be back in Oz after spending the past 4+ years in the US (where I was raised). Whilst I've also lived in inner city Sydney, I just really love living on the Northern Beaches - so close to the city and yet feeling really far away. That said, my hubby and I look forward to moving up to the Sunshine Coast as soon as we can swing it!

Born and bred Hobartian......
Tasmania is a beautiful place and we often do see all 4 seasons in one day.
And contrary to popular belief we do not have 2 heads!!!!

We live in a suburb of Hobart on the Eastern S**** and we are about 20minutes out of Hobart.

My parents are both Tasmanian born and bred as is my hubby

We have some lovely history here in Tasmania and I am planning on learning some more in the months to come.....

Love the Sunshine Coast- how amazing would it be to live there.
Tasmania is on our list of places to visit without the child- all that history & those antique stores don't appeal to the child. But they are our idea of a great holiday

A proud Bris-vegan here!

There is a very healthy northside/southside rivalry in Brisbane too. I am happy to say I am a northsider. We have recently moved a little further out than we're used to, but the surroundings are so beautiful, that I don't mind the extra 10/15 minute drive.

I have lived in a couple of other towns, once when I was little, with my family, and once more recently which was such a disaster that we no longer discuss it. Whilst I will not rule out moving house, I will NEVER leave Brisbane again. I love my city!

Townsville...born and bred. I did do a one year stint in Perth a few years back, beautiful city but too bloody cold for me

I live in Sydney and I like it. I have been to all other Major Cities (except Hobart) in Australia and all have their own good and bad factors! But I still like Sydney the most.

I was born in Melbourne and living in Melbourne but I grew up on the Croatian coast. I live in the south eastern suburbs and I can't imagine living anywhere else. I love visiting other places but Melbourne is my home
