Hi Corallux,
Maybe I didnt complete my intro properly.....I am a S/w professional and not currently working..decided to take some time off to settle down..hubby is an Engineer and working. I stay in Epping, up North, dont find many Indians here. Any ladies in this area? I know its about moving to a new place....and we have been around city to a few places..just would be nice to keep in touch with Indians!

Thanks

Hiya,

Not a problem at all. You have done the right thing. Get a feel of the place.

Once you are comfortable, start looking for jobs. One thing, enjoy yourself now. Once you start working, you will not have time to even breathe.

There are plenty of Indians in Northern suburbs. Please go through this forum, I think I saw someone in Craigeburn. Go the Indian stores I am sure they can help you out.

I do understand how you feel. I felt the same. Google the website for the various Indian Assoc in Melb. I am sure that will help you out.

Regards,

Corallux

Hi!! there! All the indis living in Melbourne
To introduce I am ritu arora, belong to Punjab, staying in Bahrain( Close to Dubai) for last 9 years is moving to Melbourne in August 08 with my hubby and two sons aged 14 & 11. My hubby an electrical engineer by profession is gonna take up a job in Melbourne.
We are all excited but at the same time we have a sense of fear of early settling down ,being a new place. Though we have travelled world, but still travelling and making a country your own home are two different scenarios.

Weve been suggested a few suburbs by our relocation consultant tieing in well with the good schools/colleges - Balwyn, Mount Waverley,Doncaster East, Box Hill, Boxhill South, Mont Albert North, Glen Waverley. Would like to know which suburb is having a good mix of Asian population especially Indians.
For now this is the first concern and look forward to having more chats.

Welcome to the forum Ritu,

I am sure you will find a lot friends here.

You can find us almost everywhere in Melbourne. In fact the SE suburbs are Indian & Asian dominated.

Melbourne has this unique feature of making you feel at home instantly. You will love it here.

As for education, please visit the thread on Oz schooling in this forum. It will give you info regarding eduction.

Corallux

Hello All,

I am Preeti, 30yr old housewife and mother to a very naughty 2yr old boy. I landed in Melbourne last Saturday. Arrived from Bangalore, India.

Live in a rented apartment in Glen Huntly suburb. Are there any housewives in this suburb and surrounding areas? I would like to meet them and make some new friends!!

Thanks,
Preeti

HI Ritu,

Provisions are a bit difficult to predict. It depends on individuals taste. To be honest, the price of dals etc have jumped up.

As for teaching, the prospects are good. Be prepared though, the students here are not like the ones we are used to. They hve more rights & privileges.

An overseas experience should help you. For more info, please visit the website of the state you plan to settle in. That will give you a list of Dos & Don'ts...

Regards,

Corallux
