That's three capital cities covered. Now all we need are Mebourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Darwin and Perth!

Well, I've been to Perth - does that count? And my ex-wife's from Temora :).

Hi Fiona, and welcome to Susan's! We're a diverse and friendly bunch here (the head count is over 8200) - get into things as slowly or as quickly as you feel comfortable, I'm sure you'll find plenty of support here.

And be sure to check out these links for the bobby on the house rules:

Careful doll, Padma is a cute Pommie doll. :-* :-*
Who will try and lure you into the all England  v Australia Singing Test Matches.  She is of course is a spin singer, tweaks her tonsils and sings a wrongy, gets past your left defensive vocal cord and then you are just gargle.

Sorry I'll have to stop drinking coffee :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Why I'm I nuts?

Terribly sorry, but I don't understand your banter, old bean :).

Hi Fiona,
WELCOME  -  home !! You are in the right place. You come from Mr. Rudd territory, not wishing to go off topic.
I'm an hour out of Sydney.
Lawdy doo-dee. Are the Aussies starting a 2 day conference on this thread?? Or is this a take over of Susan's?
You 'buggers' bought our Vegemite; so in retribution we are taking over Susan's LOL

Hey Cindy - what have they been putting in your coffee? I want some!! LOL. Lawdy doo-dee girl, you need to let your hair down more often.

Hey Xander - keep up the great job you are doing for Mexico err Melbourne and for the boys. (Sorry about the intercapital rivalry slip there) I hope everything is going your way.

Padma - yeah OK. a visit to Perth qualifies - I guess. But is that Temora NSW,you refer to?

Caitlin - Just watch out for those Canberra'ites. They are coming up from the south to take over. They have just had a conference and are besieged with call for more info and support. Canberra may be Aust. TG capital. Could be your influence Fiona, with Mr R an all.

Justme - You'll have to come up and join us for Transformal . It's a hoot. You'd love it.

Tracey -  Soooorrrry. You'll just have to sell up and come on over. At least if you "can't beat 'em, join 'em." LOL

Have a spectacular day Australia
Lotsa luv
Catherine

Fair question :) - I grew up Jewish, but I've been Buddhist instead for the last 20 years, and so I'm an ex-Jew, and I'm a gal. I suppose technically I'm an ex-Jewboy, since I'm ex- both Jew and boy, but it didn't sound as good ;).

And yes, CatherineSarah, Temora NSW on the Riverina, home of Paleface Adios - visiting there was like stepping back into the 50's, and I still remember the Temora cuisine: asparagus and sweet corn dip (made with tinned asparagus and corn) in a hollowed-out damper that my mother-in-law proudly made us :).
Title: Re: hi from australia
Post by: Catherine Sarah on October 12, 2011, 01:06:26 AM
Well Padma; welcome to the flock. What an initiation - the asparagus and sweet corn dip  - straight out of the CWA (Country Womans Assoc [the ParaGovernment in residence] recipe book. Available from any CWA meeting for a gold coin donation LOL)
Got lost on the Olympic Way and ended up in Temora and hosted by a beautiful family while repairs were made to my car.
That certainly usurps Perth as a qualification. You may be 'ex' everything else, but you can't be ex Aussie. You're in the club. Next time Cindy is on, get her to chant that wonderful anthem she sang earlier. LOL
Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa luv
Catherine

I saw him in a shopping centre right after he got the boot. I thought he would be all shrimpy and friendly looking like on tv. He actually was putting out a really aggressive steely aura. I didn't have the guts to laugh that's for sure lol.

I reckon we would have enough for a cricket team and enough guys to 'chaperone' us. We could take on the pom TG cricket team in a test series, I'm sure Pay to Air would pick us up. The All Sheila's has a ring about it. We could play for 'the stumps';appendages no longer required  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Oh dear, where did I put the tablets

ACT.... pffff nothing to worry about. Once they leave the capital they'd become disoriented without all the round-abouts.

I wish there were more Susan's Place members in Sydney. There is Chloe/FairyGirl but I think she and I are the only ones. It'd be nice to have some people to have coffee / dinner with.

I'm not sure about that Hon.

I don't chat as I've never managed to get to finding out how. Bad connections, software fails. etc. I gave up.

would like to try though.

Caitlin; I'm happy to make a time and date for coffee or dinner. TgR (the opposition) meet at the Taxi Club every second Thursday, BUT it would be nice to have a Susan's group PM me when ever you wish.

It would be interesting to know how many Aussie boys and girls we have here. And to have a "Susan's" get together once a year. Providing Cindy finds her tablets and promises to stay on the decaff. You are an absolute 'Go Girl' you know Cindy. You push my pelvic floor muscles to the limits when you post.

Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa luv

There are people from so many corners of the world but there's also a couple in my backyard. Hooray for Sydney.

I could do dinner on a Thursday once I have my car (it'll be a couple of weeks).

Caitlin,

Let us know when the car is ready and we'll see who's interested in dinner. Could be a great night if we could all get together.

Hi miss x   - welcome aboard. Hope you find it a nice place to stay. Must be something in the water supply you have there. I think there's more Brissy girls than anywhere else.  -  Can we have a head count please. Or better still I'll create a poll.

Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa luv
Catherine

Hello, my fellow Australians, gee I sound like a politician, so it would be better to say hi girls and boys (delete which one doesn't apply to you).

I did a count of the members from Australia and I think I make it 11 and one honorary Ozzie. I am not sure if the count is now 11 or 12. Maths was never my strong point, why else would I become an accountant.

I am from Glen Innes, which is in the Northern Tablelands Region of NSW.

Hello Melissa,

Nice to meet another Welshmanwoman. I'm from a little north of Sydney

hi girls and boys (delete which one doesn't apply to you).
I remember stopping overnight in your town once. I'd left my hair shampoo in the car overnight and when I went to get it in the morning, it was frozen. Hence, since then I only visit in the summer months. LOL.

I would have thought there was a few more girls than a dozen, here. But then again, if you're an accountant, you can't be too far wrong. You'll have to amend your score for the honorary Ozzies. Cindy, our very own Immigration attache to Susan's, granted Devlyn (Tracey) a residential visa just the other night. Tracey now has dual nationality. (We'll teach her how to speak "Strine" soon, the moment she swears allegiance to Julia the Queen :) ) The poor girl, my heart goes out to her. She does a fantastic job here, welcoming new members. It must be something to do with the time she comes in from Boston, because as soon as she welcomes someone, she is immediately drowned by a league of Aussie girls doing the same.

Don't be too shy of displaying your political tendencies either. After all your region has spawned some decent political leadership in recent times. Excuse my political ineptness, but didn't Doug Anthony come from the Tablelands, or at least a recent leader of the Federal country party come from there?

I hope GI is good to you. Being a relative small country town population has its draw backs at times. I know Armidale, which is near, is a more cosmopolitan population due to the Uni may have some effect of acceptance of our community in the local area, but overall country people tend to be more conservative than our city counterparts.

Hope you have an enjoyable New Year. Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa huggs
Catherine

Hi Catherine, I only counted the posters to this thread, and I am still not sure if my count is correct or not but as I said maths was not my best subject.

Thanks for your welcome to Susans, it is a great place for information and most most importantly the friendship and support that I have received. It is good to know you are not alone, especially with the members from Australia makes it a bit easier.

I think Doug Anthony came from the North Coast, but it is pretty close to here. It can get cold here, sorry about your shampoo, the only thing people can remember is the cold when they stay overnight lol.

Lots of hugs back to you

Melissa
