Hello Everyone,
Hope all is well in the USA! It is certainly good to read everyone's comments. Looks like we are slowly making AU our home as we now have a place to live! This was much harder than expected as there is currently less than 1% vacancy in the rental market around Melbourne. We were going to viewings where as many as 50 people would attend to bid on the apartment! We have been very fortunate to attain our 'starter' apartment and it could not be located in a better position. We can hop on a train or tram to go to the CBD (which we are doing this weekend) and I can hop on a bus and go straight to the UNI. They call them Unee's here and what an interesting one it is. I meet from a different country everyday and suspect this trend will continue for quite sometime! Everyone has been extremely nice thusfar and it is very interesting to hear how we all ended up at Monash. In fact, I met a woman from Boston, MA today who moved to Melbourne 30 years ago as her husband is an Aussie. Communication has certainly improved as during that time she was only able to call home twice a year with an average call costing 200-300 dollars!!! Thank you Skype! Anyway, it is time for afternoon tea so I must go for now. Cheers

hey guys, glad to here you finally got settled in-oh BTW it's Aussies not Ozzies-unless of course they spell it different down there. Anyways, we're finally gettiin some muuuuch needed rain, however I would prefer that it come steadily instead of trying to rehydrate the state all in one night...well take care kids and be mindful of the sharks, crocs, and all the other deadly creatures that inhabit the land down under. P.S. have you tried a veggiemite sandwich yet??
