Hi everyone. My name is Robert and I live NOR and have been in australia since I was 7. I am 33 now and virtually married to an Aussie gal. I've always felt kinda 'different' and without a close sense of belonging to any culture in Australia so I thought 'HEY! Why not look at your OWN culture lol.' If any like minded blokes or gals feel the same way and want to chat / catch up for a meetup somewhere, that'd be cool. I know there's a Polish restaurant in Mount Lawley called 'Rembrandt's' which serves pretty good tucker.

Anyways, drop a post with your email address and we can all get together.

With gratitude,

Speccie (Robert)

Hi there
Sorry but this is about importing a car to Perth...
We will be living in Perth, any idea of good places to live over there and house prices for rent????
Me and my fionce we want to bring our stuff to Australia, one of those things is a car, We have checked that car as we got (Chrysler Pt cruiser -2001-73000km- RHD) will cost in OZ between 11- 15 grand, so with our budget it will a litte to much to spend for a car on the beginning. So we have the valuation of shipping from Poland to for 2000$, this will be a container 20. It will go with other our personal things. Can someone please tell us is this possible to import a car to Australia, and how much will this cost??? What kind of paper work we need to do with this. We will be very gratefull for all Your help. We are going to Perth on end of March 2010, and we have a 1year student visa for the beginning, but we want to do some 2 years more study over there.

They drive on the opposite side of the road in AU so no point in importing a car from Poland in my opinion.

Yes we know that, our car is RHD exactly like in UK or OZ ;))
so do anyone know what we need to do, before we ship the car?

If I were you I would check if you have to pay import duties once you bring your car into Australia. This might increase your costs significantly.

Ah my dear Polish friends. Sorry for not maintaining this thread. Yes NOR is North of the River. I must say that living in Australia, with a Polish background, leaves me feeling a lack of depth in my culture. You know when you speak and joke in your native language, connect with your people....i miss that. On the other hand I love Australia. I came here when I was 7 years old (35 now). I returned to Poland 20 years later and knocked on the front door of my biological father's apartment. His mother answered and we greeted. He came home an hour later. He was not what I expected. Both his mother and he died three years later. I am back in Australia. I am missing something, even though I am in love and loved. I don't know what it is...culture? Or something even deeper? Anyone else in Australia missing something? I feel like my debt is with Poland and that my life needs to be Polish...Words don't give the feeling enough justice. Thank you all :)

With Gratitude,

Speccie

A question for Polish people especially those living NOR in Perth.... does anyone know a man named Wolfe (or Wolf) with Polish family name.
He is around 63 and is an amateur boxer and boxing trainer, I met him in hospital last August and would like to get in touch with him.
I'm certain he said he was living in Mirrabooka or Nollamarra or close by.
Replies to this forum please.
Thanks for any assistance you can give.
AlanH.

No replies to my question so it seems the Polish community in Perth is not quite as close as thought it was. I'll just have to try to find Wolf some other way.
