Small world. I'm studying Midwifery down at Sturt.

hi! I'm Mark from Western Australia.

I'm 17, which means i am in Year 12 in Western Australian Education system. My fav subjects are maths and french. I am laidback and i hate challenges, except if their maths or sport.
There are three factors that make up my life: Aviation, Sims Series and Volleyball. I've been playing volleyball since i was 11, but people call it a pussy sport :evil:, but to me, its the best sports available! I feel like bashing those people who insult volleyball :handbag: :P. Aviation is important to me. I was obsessed with its since I don't know when. I love the Sims Series. I use to have Sims 1 and some expansion packs, before getting Sims 2 and all expansion and stuff packs, but not sure about Sims 3....

btw, my username is pck because it stands for Phua Chu Kang, my favourite comedian actor ever.... watched him as a child. If you are wondering who he is, he is singaporean (yes.... i lived in asia till i was 3...but i was strangely born in australia...)

Hi Mark!
I don't think volleyball is a lame sport. I have heaps of friends, both male and female who play it, and even though I'm really uncoordinated and can't play it without hurting myself, I love watching it, and I always join in the conversations my friends have about it.
Ooh, where in Asia did you live? I loooove it. I've lived there for 5 years of my life, and loved every second of it.

hahaha.... lol
well i lived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Cool. I lived in Japan and also in South Korea, but I've travelled to a lot of different places in Asia on holidays.

I've travelled... nowhere outside of the country. YAY ME!!!

Me neither. Go us!

Welcome Deeney, danirawr and pck, and anybody else I may have missed xP. Is it just me, or is this group pretty hot right now? xD. I didn't think it would get this many members~! Whoo, go Aussies ;D.

PixChii; WOW, you lived in Japan? It's my dream to do that *___*.

As far as travelling places go, I've been to Hong Kong, where my parents come from, a couple of times. I've also been to Singapore, America, Canada, Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan and New Zealand. Yeah, I get around alot DX.

And speaking of sport, I play Badminton and Softball, but I suck heaps at everything else D8. I can't move to catch a ball with out certainly falling flat on my face. I'm more of an academic person, seriously xD.

titi Japan is pretty awesome. I lived there for two years when I was 8 which was a pretty crazy cool experience for me. I'll probably be moving again in a year or two, maybe to Europe this time. It all depends on my mum's work.

In terms of sport, I play absolutely none. I'm really uncoordinated, so I don't mix well with sports. I pride myself on my academic performance rather than my sporting performance. Unfortunately I am friends with some of the sportiest people in the school, so their weekends are full of sport and whatnot, whereas mine involve lots of homework and reading, so I don't do much out of school. Oh well!

::highfives danirawr::

I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Japan. I even speak fluent Japanese. It would be so awesome!

Welcome all the newbies.
I just want to say, I've never left Australia and in fact have never been on a plane. I know, I'm 28 and never been on a plane but I plan on flying somewhere at some stage. I travel by car or train (on which I get motion sickness) and have managed to see a good amount of the east coast of Australia. I am very jealous of all of you that have traveled overseas. Maybe I can get to America sooner rather than later as I have planned.

Hi fellow Aussies
I've lived in Sydney for 11 years, moved to NZ for 2 years, came back to Melbourne for 3 years and moved BACK to NZ.
Yes, it's confusing.
I miss Oz heaps tho it's the best place ever

Oh and Mark, pfft Volleyball's awesome it soo isnt a "pussy sport"
I'm also 17 lol. (well in July I'll be)

Brisbanite here! Any others?

Panique, close enough! I'm on the gold coast atm. Usually I go to uni down in Melbourne, but I've taken this year "off" to do a research project and that means I get to spend time back at home with my family! Lol I complain about crazy weather when I'm in victoria but I come back here and what do I get - rain, rain, flood... another flood. I want SUNSHINE darnit!

Hi to all the other Aussies!

Hello thought I'd pop in and say hi to the Aus Simmers.

I'm Dan from Hobart in Tas. Been a sim's fan since the original game.
I'm 34 and currently taking time off from work to go back to study.

And omg ElPresidente I had no idea you were an aussie too...guess i thought you were Mexican for some unkown reason :D

Welcome Dan!

I travel Asia every year. Been to Malaysia(x-infinity), Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan(x3), China(x4) and South Korea. Never been outta Asia-Pacific and Aus.

Lol Amynel. To America? Haha, thats on the top of my list.

Hi to all. Sydney sider here.

Hello there! I too am an Aussie, and pretty proud of that. Isn't our country lovely?

I'm Teresa, I'm 19 and I live in several different places. My main home at the moment is on the south coast of NSW, although I'm thinking about spending more time in Canberra with my family. It's kinda cool not having a 'proper' home, cause I get to go anywhere I want, when ever I want. Responsibility sucks!

Helloo everyone! I've been living in Melbourne for a few months and I'm loving it.

As for travel, I've been to the US a couple of times annd that's about it. Maybe heading to NZ in a couple of months. :D

Ah, another *part* Canberra-ite. Where are you on the south coast?

I've never left australia... and I'm 34


... but I have been on a plane so nerrr!

I'm Jim, I'm 24 and I'm from Tamworth. Not quite as bass-ackwards as some people make it out to be :P

I'm unfortunately subsisting on disability because I've been living with chronic illness for the last two years. Heart issues, autoimmune issues, mental issues... pretty much a medical basket case. Despite that, however, I managed to do a year of tech working towards a diploma in IT. I can now build networks from scratch (given the proper equipment) and fix most of my own tech issues. Yay me.

Hello all. I just realised that this group existed. If I knew about it before I would have joined much sooner!

Hi!
I just realized I never posted in here... Oops.
I'm Becca, as my name suggests. I'm from country Victoria, up in the north.

I've lived in this same house for my whole life, and the closest I've got to leaving the country is going up to Hamilton Island off the QLD coast for a week.

I know I'm a little late, but if you want to see a polluted and dirty river, check out the Goulburn. I have family that live right on the goulburn, and... Ugh.

Heya fellow Aussies

Born in Sydney, went to Uni in Canberra, married and lived in the Netherlands for 8 years, moved to Tassie and plan to move back to the mainland soon :D

Oh yeah, NSW rules :p
