Hi,

We arrived in Safety Bay just before xmas and we have had relatives from the Uk staying with us on and off since xmas, which has kept us really busy. However, we have now got to try and settle into the aussie life and I must admit we have found it difficult making new friends. Would love to hear if you are arranging another meet in the Rockingham, Mandurah area. My husband is 41 im 42 and we have a 12 year old son.

Thanks,
Debbie, Kevin and Connor (the astburys)

Hi Astburys, how lucky you are already having relatives over to visit. As far as making friends goes try talking to mums at school and neighbours maybe have a party, body shop or something. Hope this helps, we are hoping to be in Safety Bay this year so maybe we could meet for a coffee

Hi Debbie, Yes would love to meet either in Mandurah, or could come to Safety Bay. I off work this week-end(26/27 April) - going to a concert in Fremantle on Saturday, but could meet Friday night or Sunday. My partner is a keen golfer and always looking for someone new to have a game with as well - do either of you play? I prefer gardening. My number is 0449560725(Marilyn)

All the best, it does get easier.
Marilyn

Just to let people in Rockingham/mandurah area we are organising a meet up for 4th May look on our chat forum at local events for the details. Everyone is welcome we hope to help people meet up & make some new friends, you can gain a lot of local knowledge from people who have been here some time & it is good to network.

Hi Acacia,

I am Michelle (42), hubby is Nigel (44) and son is Sam (13). We've been here nearly 8 weeks, and we've found it difficult to make friends too. We are in Meadow Springs if you're interested in a meet sometime.

Hi there, I been in Mandurah for 10 months now and really enjoy it. Me, Hayley 26, OH Barrie 27 and 2yr old daughter Ebony.

I met a few good friends through the "Welcome to Mandurah" group. They meet every Wednesday at the Mandurah Bowling Club from 10am to 12(ish). I used to go but now they changed it to Wednesdays I have to work. We got a good group of us now, all different ages and the girls are having a night out in Mandurah tomorrow night! If anyone out there wants to meet, I recommend going to the group (or PM me!). All ages welcome!!

Hayley
