South Africans in Perth

Download Oorsee (free on iPhone and Android), set where you live, and you'll see South Africans and posts from around Perth and the rest of Australia. Join the groups for your region, add Tjommies, message people directly and keep an eye on Events for braais, meetups and rugby screenings. Many South Africans also start with the "South Africans Living Abroad" Facebook group.

Use Homesick in the Oorsee app: enter your address and it searches for South African shops, butchers, cafés and restaurants near you. You can also browse Oorsee's directory of SA-owned businesses and ask the community for recommendations — locals always know who makes the best droëwors.

Rugby screenings and supporter get-togethers are posted by the community in Oorsee Events, and your local groups are the quickest place to ask where the Bok fans gather for the next test. Kick-off times depend on where the match is played, so check the fixture in your local time zone.
