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.

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
