Australia BD
I have noticed there are some Barrow-Downers from Australia. It would be great to meet some of you, oh the dream! So I was thinking.. why not? I come from Sydney but I often travel to Melbourne for business or for family. So is anyone interested?

Cool!! I am going to a Weding in Adelaide next year. I'll be staying there for two weeks!

Nil!! Thanks for making this 'social' thread!!! *calms down*
Well, I'd just like to say that I'd love to meet you, since you already know I live practically next door to you, in Sydney!! So how about it? *puppy dog eyes* [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] EDIT: Messy spelling! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [ June 11, 2003: Message edited by: Tarien Ithil ]

Tarien Ithil: I was thinking we could maybe meet next week or this week, but I currently have a planned trip to South Africa (again [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) as soon as I get back (I am not to sure when that is) then we could maybe plan on meeting [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]… what does that sound like [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]!!

Wow, what a coincidence. I originate from Melbourne Australia but I moved to South Africa two years ago. I would love to meet a person from Barrow-Downs. Niluial when will you be in South Africa? Please, I would really love to meet you!

Gorisil: That would be really cool!! Umm… my flight is on the 18th of June 2003, so that is next week… Wednesday for you. I am sure we could make an arrangement. Oh where is South Africa will you be? I am going to Johannesburg for four days and then I am going to Cape Town for six-ten months… I don’t really know how long. But thanks to computers and the internet I can still study… *few*. Umm.. so we can make a plan I am sure! I do hope you are in Cape Town, it will be way easier to meet up with you. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I live in Sydney too.. but I think we all knew that. The beaches here are wonderful, like you said.. in Summer. Its such a shame that it is winter or it is around the corner.. near (oh you know what I mean!!).
I would love to meet with you as soon as possible. I am meeting Gorisil on the 30th in Cape Town, I am sure we shall become great friends because I will be there for 10 months.. oh how I shall miss sweet Sydney! I really want to meet all of you…. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] P.S. Anyone like my new avatar?

You know Niluial, I was going to mention your avatar on the best avatar thread but ofcourse that is closed now... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
but the point is I love your avatar! Back on topic, are there any teens in Melbourne by any chance? Everyone seems to be in Sydney or Brisbane!

Yeah. Nil. It's a shame the Best Avatars is closed otherwise you'd have tons of nominations!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Ahem, OK well back on topic. Nil: Would you like to meet just before you leave for South Africa or just after?

Oh, OI really am sorry Gorisil!!! Yes you are right it is the twenty second! I can’t wait either!!! Well just to let everyone know, I am in South Africa Johannesburg safe and sound and I am leaving for Cape Town tomorrow! I will most certainly tell everyone about my meeting with Gorisil.
Tarien Ithil – I am really sorry but I will only be able to see you in ten months.. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]!!! [ June 22, 2003: Message edited by: Niluial ]

Well I got off the plain yesterday in Cape Town! It really is beautiful here! AIts really cold though. I had an hour trip to Hout Bay and found the house I shall be living in for ten months. It is a gorgeous house. Just big enough for me.. and suits all my needs, fit for a queen!!
It is two hours before I meet Gorisil in Caps Bay! I cannot wait!! I am all ready clothes, shoes, hair just not makeup!! I’l have to put some on… [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]!! Well I cannot wait anymore!

*wanders in* whee! Plenty of Sydneysiders!! Me too!
Yah...I shall not bring up the State of Origin in here. I do not want to start a war. But Queensland is a beautiful place I wish I could visit more often. Still, Sydney rocks! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] As for meeting people, sure, why not! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |

Hello!!!
Well, I just got back from seeing Gorisil. He is in actual fact very nice. We plan on meeting soon again. I got his number and he has got mine we plan on being great friends. It is nice to have a friend in a new country. I felt a little lost until today!! ~Niluial
