Hey
My name is Jeff, I'm originally from Melbourne, Australia, last year my family moved up north to the countryside to the lovely small city Bendigo and I really love it here... I'm studying a professional writing and editing course, atm I'm writing a couple of short stories as well as a manuscript which is keeping me busy. The other day I was down in Melbourne receiving some treatment at the Alfred (hospital) because I had a double lung transplant nearly 10 years ago, the doctors and nurses there are amazing.
Are there any NBA fans here? I've been following the Sixers closely yes because of Ben Simmons, but the whole team has been amazing. I'm shamelessly on the bandwagon.
I like DU a lot, though I mostly lurk. Still I'll post from time to time. Cheers.

Yeah it's ok 
Have not been to Melbourne, but have stayed in Sydney, Leichardt; have swum at Manley, Bondi, Coogee and Forster Beaches, stayed in Caines, Port Douglas, Daintree, snorkled the reef, hung out with my son Sydney.
Went to see the Newcastle Knights years back, had so much fun, but have forgotten everything I ever learned about the game.
All the best with your health concerns.
Thanks for the friendly intro. We're glad to have you.
As for the Gold Coast, I, as a visitor, consider your whole country a gold coast.
We ain't all zombies here
