Story

I left England in 1999 searching for a new beginning and adventure.

I travelled via plane through South East Asia to Australia. I had a magical journey through South East Asia experiencing different cultures and meeting new friends along the way.

On arrival in Australia (Melbourne) my first impression was how clean the city was and how blue the skies were. Not a cloud to be seen. The Trams in the city were fantastic. I had always seen Trams in movies and in old films but had never experienced travel in one. After a week I travelled to Tasmania to visit distant reletives and met with the natural beauty of Tasmania’s national parks. All the Aussies I met were extremely friendly and easy to get along with. After Tasmania I travelled to Sydney and fell in love with the lifestyle. The city skyline and surrounding harbour was breathtaking and I have lived here ever since. Sydney is the best place in the world to live and work and I am proud to call Sydney, Australia home.
