    My ancestors arrived from England in 1828. They came to tame the savages so you guys could come and not be eaten. They dont seem to have made a very good job of it but at least you wont become a meal now.

    Port Hedland where The Pier Hotel is in Guinnes Book Of Records as the pub in the world where most murders have happened... Visited 20 odd years ago and stayed 3 months. And also did the Coffin Cheaters Whim Creek run. What a blast all of it!!!

    Oh and NOT a pom!

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    'nother Pom here, originally from Warrington (but grew up in Cambridge so I was well used to Asian tourists before I got here) - imported by my Kiwi missus in 2003 and now have a little "Briwi" boy.

    English from South West London. Been here for just over a year now with my Kiwi partner (she did her 10 years sentence in London with me ) and loving it. Great people, weather and roads - what more can I say.

    We're in no rush to go back there - as long as I can get a couple of trips a year back to see some footie and me mates I'll be sweet.

    Born in Suva, Fiji, to a dad from Kent and a mum from Cheshire, on a joint RAF/RNZAF airbase so I have both NZ and Pome passports. Wonder if I can go back to Fiji (was only there a few months) claim an island and set up an annual TT?
