New to Sydney suburbs- Hills/Kellyville area- and feeling homesick!

[Polly68]

Hi all, we've been in Oz a year now (457 visa) but initially in Brisbane, where we settled very quickly (have family there). Found QLD very relaxed and people really friendly. Kids and I made lots of friends through school etc. Then hubby got a new job in Sydney, giving us another 4 yrs on the Visa, and we moved here 6 weeks ago. Living in Kellyville now and finding it very different to Brisbane (weather rubbish for a start!). Its a nice enough area but I'm not working at the moment and am really struggling to settle and make friends. I'd love to hear from anyone in the area or moving here soon.

Hi Polly.

It can often be a it of a shock to move interstate, but give yourself some time, and hopefully you will start to feel a little more settled soon enough, and hopefully a few kind souls will be around for you to chat to, good luck matey.
Cheers Tony.

Thanks Tony! Forced myslef along to a school family BBQ for new parents tonight, my heart wasn't really in it as hubby away and feeling sorry for myself! But I spoke to a couple of people and one of the mums from my daughter's class was really nice so thats a start! Didn't think moving interstate would be as tough as moving from the Uk but actually finding it worse for some reason. Glad I found this forum- an ex pat from my son's scout group reminded me about it- I'd actually registered before we moved to Brisbane then never used it/needed it! Thanks again for your encouraging words.
