SOLD!

I've never been to Aus but I used to live with a girlfriend who, like certain posters on here, would bang on about how wonderful it would be to move to Australia without knowing anything about it.
"Where in Australia, Rach?"
"Don't know. Anywhere i suppose."

It is over-rated for sure. Better beaches and nicer places further up the coast.

On the 92 tour we rolled up in Newcastle, not the Geordie one, it was a lovely late June day in the middle of their winter. We accidently ended up on the beach which was deserted. It was so nice we went for a swim. We strolled back to the hotel in our trunks to be greeted by the receptionist in a big woolie cardigan crouched in front of a 3 bar electric fire; she looked at us in astonishment & said "Are you guys for fecking real?"

Yeh my Dad lived in Perth, Oz for awhile. I'd be out there trying to get a tan when it was "only" 25 degrees and they all thought I was nuts.

Its nice to visit but honestly going to work in that heat would not be nice.

just a thought but whiteheads agent wouldnt be our friend Mr Caisley would it? he does seem to have a habit of touting our under contract young players to Souths. Maybe its that time of year when he needs a nice agents slice of a player transfer to pay for his jollies.
