Well, Mrs Snow and I have left NSW behind and moved to Rockingham WA to be near the kids and grandkids and enjoy retirement. Still settling into the new digs and getting assimilated but, no complaints so far and the transition has been easy. Looking forward to doing some exploring and tripping around. Maybe catch a some of the WA Swag mob on our travels. :cheers:
Good on you Snow. We moved over here 2 years last September for the same reason. Not a bad place to live we recon.
Love the Rockingham area.
Was a regular visitor there when still working.
Welcome! You're on the wrong side of the river but we wont hold that against you...

Haha, cheers Nab. Tribal games. I heard there was that us/dem thing here, same as Sydney. To me it is just looks like everyone living in a big sand pit with a big pond and politicans in the middle. ;D :cheers:

Thanks Baz. So sorry to hear about Kerry. We understand to some extent how that can affect you as we had the same when we lost our youngest son. It is great that your move, as is ours, is good medicine to help with moving forward and creating new memories and connections. Stay well mate.
Good onya.
We've visited there twice now in the last four years.
Enjoyed it, greatly.
All the best
You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.
