I think Bret said a while back that he was moving there for good.

Yes, I thought he did, just wanted a quicker option to scrolling back.

I think it was Bruce that expressed commiserations as he doesn’t rate Melbourne as a place to live. I’ve heard it’s very nice from those who have visited, but then tourists from London think anything is an improvement.

Welcome Brett :grinning:
To four seasons in one day Melbourne.
It won’t be as hot as Perth anyway.

My middle son rates Melbourne very highly he reckons the social scene is brilliant, I just think the weather is miserable (four seasons in one day). Victoria is fine in the summer but too cold for me in the winter.

There is a BIG Melbourne/Sydney rivalry I am more of a harbour city person (Melbourne’s beaches are a standing joke). Somebody has to live in Melbourne, just not me.

BTW Talking of air fare rises my daughter checked my flight to the UK it has gone up $6000 since I booked, probably more now.

Safe journey Bretrick, I’m looking forward to the photos… :039:
I think if I lived in Aus, Perth would be the place for me.
Perhaps just outside, I couldn’t stand living in a metropolis… :009:

I like the sound of Melbourne.

My boy works for Australia’s largest horticultural company, he’s based in North NSW, been given the option of moving to Melbourne. He’s thinking about it, he’s also waiting to hear about another position: GM of a number of berry farms across southeast Asia.
