    Ok, so, i have lived in Brisbane for over a year now. I am a permanent resident and moved over here on my own back in May, i met my friend from my previous work here who was on a working visa, we flat shared together and it was good as we have common ground. He moved to NZ around 2 weeks ago.

    My parents and sister moved here in October, my sister is 18 and she moved back home after 3 months, my parents are fine as they have each other and they live by the beach..

    I have recently realised that my social life here is not brilliant, yes i have met some friends but they are all over the age of 28 and are iether married, engaged or not on exactly the same level as me.. My unit lease ends in four weeks and now im reviewing my options with moving back to the UK as an option so i can enjoy being social and young.. Help!

    Just wondering if there are any other people around 18-25 who are also having these problems? If so, message me and maybe we can arrange to meet etc.

    Cheers,
    Luke :)

      I know I'm not your age group - but I have worked with a lot of young people - your age & less....& it seems a bit drastic to say 'I'll move back to the UK 'cos I haven't made friends in Brisbane'.... !
      There are so many avenues to consider....
      Follow a particular interest maybe - even if you're not a 'joining a club' kind of person - it might be a launching pad....
      Or learn something new - like surfing.....
      You might like to consider moving to Sydney - if job & money permit... or at least take a trip for a weekend to try the 'fit' of Sydney....

      Brisbane does tend to be more of a 'family' place - especially in the suburbs.... maybe you just need a bigger pond to play in !
