  @Megger bwat state ba may blacktown? may na kwento lang kasing not nice story yung relative namin. may isang building daw sa blacktown na may nag rerent na black. tapos di daw nila nakikita pag umaga tpos may nakawan na nangyayari sa mga tenants na wala sa unit nila. yun pala yung mga black na yun kunyari lang nag rent sa building na yun. nagmamanman lng pala kong cno ang mga wala sa unit sinasalisihan nila.
  
  tpos nag joke lng yung lolo namin nun minsan nag drive sya may nakita kami black sa daan. sa gabi daw yung mga yun hindi mo makikita. kasi sa color. it was a racist joke, pero kami kami lang nmn mag anak andun kaya it was just for laugh.

  @batman sa NSW lang ata yong blacktown. Sabi kasi halos 50% ng population, ng filipino sa australia nasa blacktown. Ibig sabihin, majority ng filipinos ay nasa NSW.

  Hi same with Chadisky, hoping active pa rin ang thread na ito...
  
  I’m moving to Sydney by midyear next year... pinaprocess ng employer ko ang 457 visa ko, plan ko isama family ko with 2 kids... naghahanap hanap ako ng schools online asking their fees pero wala pa sumasagot...
  
  Any thoughts po kung anu mga Catholic schools around the Inner west areas or anywhere within an hour commute papunta sa downtown ang tumatanggap ng students under 457? And atound how much ang mga fees... any recommendations?
