Socialising & Get TogethersIf you're looking to meet up with like minded people emigrating to Oz or want to arrange an event in Oz, please post details here.
Finally got my Visa though today... Omg the worst part is waiting !!!
So this Singleton is another one that is arriving not knowing a single soul. But I'm ready to start a 2 year course in Melbourne & meet who ever's out there!
Definitely keen to meet up. Im happy to meet up with as many people as I can. its going to be pretty scary. What job are you going to do over there and when are you hoping to be there by. it cant come soon enough for me, I just want to get over there. the more I wait the more time i have to think "am i doing the right thing" I want to get the goodbyes over and done with and start enjoying myself over there, with a bit of luck anyway.
If you get there before me and need any contacts, let me know. LIke I said, my aunty lives in Mundingburra and is a mad scouser which inevitably means she has a million friends and is a social butterfly !! She is a midwife at Townsville hospital so has made loads of mates through that.

without wanting to sound like a dating agency - which i dont want to do - i was just wondering if anyone is going through this migration thing alone like me. I have no OH, no kids, nothing. Just me, myself and I heading to Oz. Im close to my UK family and have lots of UK mates so Im not trying to run away from anything but have visited Oz several times, once in Brisbane for 18 months and decided that QLD is where i want to be.
Anyone else a billy no mates ??

Hey Helen,
Woohoo, im not the only billy no mates! I moved out to Brisbane in March, although im not a total loner as ive got family here who I am staying with until I get my own place! Loving it so far! Give me a shout if you are moving to Brisbane, would be great to get to know a few more people!
another billy here, ive just arrived in sydney (3 weeks ago) by myself to start a new job. I moved into a place in st leonards on the north shore. So if there are any singletons in sydney who fancy meeting up for a drink let me know.

Good luck to everyone

Hey
I've been in Melbourne for 6 months after coming over on my own. I'm doing a 2 year course on a student visa. It has been hard but as the months go byit seems to get easier as you get to no more and more people.
Hi Helen,
I'm a 25 yr old singleton moving out to Oz in November this year. I'm a bit scared as I'm moving out there alone and trying to find work etc, I agree it is all a bit daunting. Are you already there?
Hey
Sorry I havent replied sooner.
No Im not in oz yet !! - its a very sore point !! I am waiting for the visa which should be very soon because other December people have got theirs..I have to be patient and keep calm.
But even if i do get it I will have to sell my house, which, as we all know could prove tricky. its been on the market for about 6 weeks and not one viewing. AAGGHHH
But WHEN i get to oz, I will be in townsville. Yes i is daunting and thats why I wish this house would sell quickly cos with every week that passes I am getting colder and colder feet !
I have family there but thats not the same as having mates..I will be a billy no mates for a while until I can bully someone into being my friend !
Will be popping to brisbane first though to see some friends so am happy to meet up with whoever.
I am expecting the first months to be hard and that I am going to have to say YES to every invite that comes my way (if any come my way) but i guess eventually we will all find a few people we can call friends and then through them we meet their friends and so on.
scary though innit ??
I'm heading off to Melbourne on my own at the end of September. I do have a few friends in the city (in the company I'll be working for), so I won't be completely on my own.
Will be happy to meet up for a drink if people are interested though. It's all very daunting and exciting!
