Brisbane Meet Up (Cleveland)

Hi there

Me and my family would love to meet new families in the Cleveland area and surrounding suburbs. A bit about us, we were from Coventry in the Uk, moved to Melbourne in April 2006 and then moved again to brisbane in November 2006.

I am 33 and my name is michael, my wife is called marie and is 35 and we have two children Joseph who is 7 and Amber who is 3

If you are around the area why not reply to this post or drop us an email and see if we can meet and have a BBQ!!!

Hi there

Well cleveland is a great place as you are by the Bay and have some nice beaches and bays where the kids can play, we are also out of the city so away from the hustle of busstle. We like it and there are alot of british families here. Cleveland is an established town so not many new houses but in the surrounding suburbs of thornlands and victoria point there are new areas where you can build. We are building in Thornlands and our house should be ready by october this year!!!

If you need more info on the area type in redlands council in Google and you can find a lot of info on that website

Speak soon

Michael

Iam a very active 74 year old lady who came to Brisbane via Canberra to join my family two
years ago. I come from Northern Ireland so I enjoy the sunshine here in the Brisbane surburbs.
I have a seven year old grandson and four year old granddaughter. I enjoy all sports especially
Rugby Union which my Son played in Ireland. and as I am a Member of a Craft class I also enjoy
Knitting etc. Would like to meet up with some ex Pats fort social outings etc.

Hi Michale and everyone else...
My husband ROnny and I are thinking of going to live in Australia and Brisbane is just one of the states for consideration.
We have been told that Melbourne would be the place for people in the Arts... what do you think? We know Brisbane has good busker support and my husband is a fabulous and experienced singer (has his own albums and was a known singer in Indonesia) so he can busk there...

We are excited and scared about the move as we have a huge mortgage to pay off in New Zealand and my parents live there. Our 17 year old son do not want to move (not yet) so we need mpore info.

Ron and I are friendly and every where we lived people seem to like us and we get along with most people...

We do not have lots of cash as we immigarted to NZ from an Asian country 9 years ago. So we would need jobs beofre we shoft over and got to make sure it would be able to cover our mortgage back here in NZ. :)

Any tips available...?

Amanda
