Hi, We are a young (ish) couple (37) with a one year old boy, looking to expand our circle of friends in Sydney. I am from Newcastle originally, and Cat is from Liverpool (you can't tell with her accent!) We have been in Sydney for around 7 years now, we love it! We enjoy beach days, going to gigs, watching sport, craft beer, days out, movies, coffee, keeping fit and food! Would love to expand our circle, and make new friends. Hope to hear form you! Dave, Cat & Jack

Hi there! We have been here for 2 n half years and feel your pain. We would love to get to know you both and meet up? I will drop you a PM Cheers, Dave & Cat

Hey, My wife and I moved to Sydney last year and are having an amazing time here. We are on a permanent residence visa, and looking to make new friends Dave is from Newcastle originally and likes football, NRL, photography, travel, music, gigs, gym, loads of tv stuff and works in IT. Cat is from Liverpool originally and enjoys cooking, art, cocktails and travel. We are both 32 and have no kids, we live near the city. Hope to hear from you guys, Dave & Cat x

Oh looks like we missed out on this We should check this more often! Dave & Cat x

We have been here for around 6 months, and free on saturday night or whenever! We are early 30's and from newcastle (dave) and liverpool (cat) Drop us a PM if you like? Dave & Cat

Hi mate! How are you? Finally found somewhere, and ended up in Chatswood, we like it so far, but could do with a few more bars!! Took a while to get settled and was a few hectic months finding somewhere and then moving!

Oh no! Whats the RSL? We like it so far, but its more thats it handy for shops in chatswood, and Lane Cove, and near the train line. I do wish it had more bars though, that serve some craft beer

Indeed, we have one near us which is the Northern Bar. Happy to meet at the Rocks or wherever Where are you from originally mate?

Have to admit we have been here 4 months and loving it. Would love to find a metal/rock bar, but am enjoying finding new cafes and craft ale bars. We have taken our time to settle in, getting a property to rent, jobs etc... but we feel there is so much to do and see. Happy days!! Loving the research, and yeah I am sure different people have different experiences. I would still wager 80% of people are happier here than in their previous UK life. It does seem to me its important to get the suburb right, as I guess it could be quite isolating out in the sticks and families on a lower income wont have the same way of life as those nearer the city. Maybe we should have a poll on here?

Bit late on this thread, but I/we are up for beers, we are in chatswood but happily meet wherever! Hope everyone is well

Thanks Jay! I have sent you an email

Hey, Its been sometime since I logged into here, so a bit strange to be back. We are a couple looking to expand our social circle in Sydney, we are both 32, I am from Newcastle and Cat is from Liverpool. (No kids) We both enjoy all the normal stuff, site seeing, gym, photography,cinema, BBQ's. travel, coffee, beers/wine, football/shopping, and generally trying new things, having a laugh and going to various events on in the city. Cat and I have been in Sydney for around 4 months now, and have finally settled in North Sydney. We would love to meet other couples, or individuals (Aussie and Brits) Drop me a private message or reply to this thread. Hope to hear from some of the Sydney people! Have a good week! Dave

Thanks guys its a major help!!

Hey, Its been a while since I been on here! Hope everyone is well. My toyota celica has arrived in Australia, but am struggling to find insurance for the car. Can anyone recommend car insurance company/ies for a car imported from the UK to Australia? Many thanks, Dave
