Hey, sorry to thread-jack, but are there any Sydneysiders lurking here? I've got a job offer in the Macquarie Park area and I could use some more input on good locations to look for a flat. Looking for somewhere with a good selection of nearby food & drink, easy place to make friends, and a <=30 min commute by car or 45 by public transport. My potential coworkers are mostly out in the western burbs and haven't been able to suggest much.

TTLG Miami would be frickin awesome
Miami's like my second home (I have Dolphins season tix and come down 3-4 times a year), so I'd be down for that, but I'd still nominate Vegas or New Orleans for TTLG 2011 too.

I'm planning on being in Sydney by the end of June this year.
And know precisely ONE person there already. Sadly he is a 50 year old VP at a firm so I doubt he'd be up for hanging out for a cold beer in the locals.
What's your job-offer?
This could be the start of a
beautiful thing.

Hanging out for a cold beer in the locals is definitely up my alley. If I take this, I'll probably be out there by the end of this month, so I can scout a place or two that serves a good cask ale for when you arrive. The job is an engineering lead on a mostly software oriented development project.
For our resident Aussies - how hard is it to find *good* beer? I've heard Oz is more into wine these days, and during my brief visit there I was disappointed in the domestic selections. I might be a bit spoiled by all the craft brewing around where I live now.

Lucky for you, I wear a pencil skirt well.

You'd better be the blonde one.

I was looking for an appropriate picture of Stitch with his sunglasses on but looks like most of the san fran photos are 404s these days :mad:
I've got one of Daveh that almost works...
And my vote is for Vegas for 2011, just so I can drive instead of fly, for once.
