Title: Hello from Australia!
Post by: DexterKitty on July 10, 2008, 22:16:31 PM: Hi there,

I was introduced to this board by a few international friends. Looks like loads of fun, and helping spread awareness for a good cause :)

I have a 5 and a half month old kitten named Dexter. He's my first cat and we have simply fallen in love with him.

I look forward to reading posts and learning more about these wonderful creatures!

Very cool! I went to the brass band festival at Ballarat while at college and had a lovely day. And Sovereign Hill, - fun day out for all! I hear the weather is a little chilly at present - never mind, you are not missing out on much here, it is windy and rainy and occasional bursts of sunshine, but I am missing summer badly at this stage, lol.

Post by: DexterKitty on July 12, 2008, 12:44:15 PM: It seems like a wonderful place!

I've only lived in Ballarat for 2 years. I grew up on the other side of Melbourne and moved here when I was 18.

I haven't been to Sovereign Hill since I was 12, but remember it being a really good time! And yes, it's incredibly chilly at the moment. Periodic sunshine is always accompanied by fierce winds and a cold chill. Summer!? I could do without that lol... unless I'm at the beach! I'd love to visit/live over there - would love it!

Post by: blackcat on July 12, 2008, 13:35:12 PM: Maybe you should move to Tasmania, less crowded than here :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: It's where I intend to thrown down the anchor once I stop roaming the world ...

Climate is similar, less extreme than Ballarat. Hills are similar, landscapes etc. Here it is surprisingly crowded - rarely does one find a place of solitude (although I found one the other day :wow: ). Not to say it doesn't have its good points, nice people (mainly) and lots to do and see, so well worth the effort if you can get over here. :wow:

Post by: toothfairy on July 12, 2008, 14:50:13 PM: my aunt lives in Tasmania and the rest of my Aunts/Uncles/GrandParents live in Lane Cove near Sydney, i spoke to my Gran and she was saying the weather there is awful at the moment. My cousin came here for a visit in 1996 and never went back! she lives and works in London now.

Post by: DexterKitty on July 12, 2008, 23:34:06 PM: Lol, Tasmania is certainly beautiful. I have family over there and have visited a few times. I haven't done much site seeing there though.

I'd really love to travel, maybe one day!
