I lived in East Dulwich a couple of years ago, and was a massive follower of The East Dulwich Forum... when i moved back to Sydney, i was pretty surprised that nothing similar existed for sydney's northern beaches. So, a baby and a bump later, I have now decided to launch one for myself (they say imitation is the highest form of flattery!). It is definitely not a carbon copy of ED Forum, just "inspired by"...


Anyway, it's only been going less than 2 weeks now so is very early days, but i just thought i'd let you know about it in case there are any northern beaches people in East Dulwich who might be interested in seeing what's going on back home!


So check it out, and let me know your thoughts (don't worry, you can be critical!)

Well, colourbond fencing (and, not to forget, colourbond garage rollerdoors) are as Aussie as a gum tree, so I'll grant you that one.


And leather sofas in Aussie heat is a bad idea. It did takes us a while to work that one out. I fell asleep on a leather sofa once - nearly drowned in my own sweat.

Ha, should have known i'd open myself up to a host of aussie jokes! Yeah, i might introduce a new section in honour of the lounge... but maybe call it "the billabong", as we all like sitting round billabongs in our budgie smuglers with a stubbie, and having a yarn about bush tucker.


Michael - we do have 'curry houses', though they are called 'indian restaurants' here... and my english hubby tells me the food is no where near as good as good olde english curry houses.

      Fireworks

      By BurleyJ · Posted

      I don't mind fireworks going off for NYE at midnight but I don't actually understand why they are still going off at 1am, 2am, 3am!

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      I suppose all these issues that need addressing are a reflection of the times we live in. Important and necessary but somehow destroy the underlying spirit.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      Do you know who organised and ran it? Because it must have been quite a lot of work. Who kept track of the credits? What safeguards were they? Was there a lower age limit eg over 18? Was insurance needed? ID? Who checked it? What was the situation if somebody was injured while working in your house or garden? What if someone broke or stole something? What if someone in your house was molested or attacked? What if you weren't happy with the standard of work? Sorry to be gloomy, but whilst this sounds a great idea in theory, in common with many people I know I've had several  bad experiences with supposedly professional tradespeople, let alone someone who wasn't doing it for a living.

      I think the Brixton Pound lives on, so there must be some kind of appetite for it, but I'm afraid I doubt it would be very useful for me.
