Re: Join us on our virtual walk around Australia!
That sounds lovely! I've never been to Kew. Even though I've lived in Melbourne for over 13 years, I still don't feel it is 'home'. I grew up on the shores of Sydney, and somehow still feel Sydney is home - even though I'd never want to go back to live there. @Glisten
Question: When can a person call a place they've moved to, home?

Re: Join us on our virtual walk around Australia!
@tyme Home is a place you don’t want to escape.
The length of time doesn’t matter.
I was born in Sydney raised in Newcastle.
Had my children in Bundaberg - don’t judge me, it was a pretty little town 39 years ago.
Escaped QLD 1994 went to Perth ❤️
Now I’m trying to heal my trauma and escape QLD again :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Re: Join us on our virtual walk around Australia!
Awww that is lovely @Shaz51 were your Daddy’s parents born there?
I admire your resilience. Since I have been in QLD, feel like the suburban wildlife is trying to eradicate me 🦎🐍🕷️🐡 birds like pterodactyls 😩

Re: Join us on our virtual walk around Australia!
@tyme I’m possibly not far from you, Im in Geelong.
I lived in Hoppers Crossing for about 10years to be closer to work.
after my mum died I decided to come home to Geelong.
I have a water phobia but love sitting looking out over the bay at the waves

Re: Join us on our virtual walk around Australia!
@Patches59 That is fascinating - a water phobia. I have never met anyone with this.
I want ask you all about it. But that would be most inconsiderate of me.
Thank you for sharing.

Re: Join us on our virtual walk around Australia!
No probs @Glisten I have a fear of drowning.
remember mum saying when I was very young and in baby bath she looked away for short period of time. When she looked back I was face down in the water. Swimming pools, streams, the beach etc I start to panic as soon as water gets approx halfway up my shin

Re: Join us on our virtual walk around Australia!
I’ve had a fear of drowning for as long as I can remember, well before my mum told me about the baby bath incident
