I can still ( vaguelly remember the talent also Hmm? Lee from Perth Australia 03:47:42 02 May 2008 Abi from Brisbane. I moved from NE England to Perth 2yrs ago. You would be best to live south of Newcastle if at Durham Uni. Just been back for a visit petrol around $2.40 a litre but food clothing cheaper than here. Jobs in IT around $60K a year but check out Evening Chronicle job pages on Thursdays. Newcastle, Durham, York, Edinburgh all on the doorstep. Beautiful cities. Go for it. Good luck. Lee from Perth Australia 03:56:15 02 May 2008 For Stephen Lumsley of Gateshead. I am originally from Gateshead and my husband is from Ryton. Moved to Perth 2yrs ago and love it here. It is a friendly, clean, modern city with a great climate. Only thing we find cheaper than the UK though is petrol although thats on the up.I would advise you to visit if possible before you make the big move. Its a great lifestyle here but not for everyone. Good luck.

Abi from Brisbane, Australia 12:37:05 27 April 2008 Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me, and particularly those who have lived in both Newcastle and Australia. I'm an Aussie (but both my parents are from London) and I've been offered a scholarship at Durham University. My partner and I are therefore considering moving to Newcastle to live. I have a few questions that I really hope you can help me with: 1) How does the standard of living compare to major Australian cities, and how affordable is it? My scholarship would pay 13,000 GBP per year, but my partner would be earning quite a bit more, which brings me to my next question... 2) Are there many jobs in marketing/communications/web and IT management available? If so, how well (or not) do they pay? (This is my partner's area.) 3) We love the theatre, films and john howes from adelaide sa 07:20:27 25 April 2008 remember the good old days in north shields. 45 50 yrs YMCA on sunday after noon. plaza ballroom tynemouth swimming pool outdoors. st.peters dance in balkwell great mem. love to hear from any one in that time frame Ian Liddle from Chippenham 02:07:03 25 April 2008 Still looking for old school friends: Alex Dixon [last head of in Leicester], Pamela Maddocks, Ann Hogarth, Caroline Nicholson, Keith Bowie and any others from Hillheads Co.
