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.
That sounds like a plan to me! Only downside is it will be very cold won't it? It would be good to have a little meet-up planned though. I'll try & give it some thought a bit nearer the time.

Rachel what is your definition of very cold my dear???? We arrived in September and didn't wear a coat once, a jumper yes but no coats. June temperatures are usually about the same, maybe even a bit warmer. We were wearing t-shirts and vest tops when we got here - it was like heatwave compared to home.
It has been hot this weekend though - about 36 yesterday and 41 forecast for tomorrow! My poor little sister is melting, she arrived Friday night and is struggling with the difference between home and here!

We arrived 14th June this year and yes even tho the weather was warmer than the UK in winter, I can honestly say that it was not the weather for a picnic. At first we didnt feel it so much but we still had to wear a small jacket and we had the heating on in the house!! After being here a while there were times when a coat would have been handy not to mention an umberella!!
The winter here starts from 1st June, with spring from 1st September and I can honestly say you do notice a difference in the weather!!
Would be great to get a meet going however, not sure a picnic would be a great idea!!
Hi,
We would love to meet up with everyone!!!
Just regarding the weather, we arrived in October and it was beautiful, but our last two holidays here were in August, and I have to admit it was cold and wet, but at least you know you have nice weather to look forward too
Love
Tracey
You're right Fizz! When I said "it will be very cold", what I meant to say was "it will be a wee bit nippy"
Of course, here in good old blighty, it is currently very cold today about 5degC but oh so grey and miserable. I am well into my SAD season, feel just like hibernating I am so pleased that it is hot and beautiful and sunny and gorgeous where you are!
No, seriously, maybe the Melbourne peeps could get their collective heads together and think of a venue (city central, indoors) where the newly-arrived Poms and the Reccie people could all find without too much trauma.

hi all
we move over to melbourne in march and would love to meet up. x
Peppa! Glad to see that you decided to go ahead with your plans for Melbourne. We got our visa in December and will (fingers crossed) be arriving in March/April so will definitely have to hook up and share a coffee/tea/wine!!
Whereabouts are you headed? We're not really sure yet - have to wait to see how the job interviews OH has lined up goes!:)
As for a July meetup, that would be fun! As I'm in the event management industry I'll get my organising hat on as soon as we have settled down a bit and gotten used to the cooler weather. Glad I'm not over there right now - supposed to be boiling!!
