Newbie in Victoria....
Thought I'd say hello! I've been living in Castlemaine - 1 and a half hours North of Melbourne - for 16 months now. Is there anyone else who's moved to VIC? All the other newbies seem to be in Queensland! I have 5 kids and am on my own here a lot as my OH commutes to Melbourne each day to work in the CBD. He's aussie by birth but lived in the UK most of his life and we came here from Kent. I am still dead certain we made the right choice coming here.........it is so beautiful, and we have had so many positive experiences - BUT I do miss my mates at home and I think it's just sinking in that this is IT - permanent! Hope to meet some new folks to chat to and start getting over this bout of homesickness!

We're on our way!

We (me - Felicity and husband Michael) are heading to Melbourne on 12th September. We are looking at locating to the top of the Mornington Peninsula but think that regular pomsinoz meets will be a fab idea. We've done a couple here in the UK and they were great. Yes Castlemaine will be a bit of a journey but hey ho, we're up for meeting folks!

We are in Frankston. We know other people in Castlemain and we need to get up to see them some time we could maybe meet up with you too.. when we get a weekend off.
I think a meet up group would be a great idea. I would be willing to help if anyone else is interested.
