Hiya love, I'm a busy mum of 4 and we moved over (hubby too) in May. My kids are boys 14 and 18 and girls 5 and 7, the lads too are a bit slow at making friends and the elder one especially as he finished college and arrived here 3 weeks ago. If you were to go to college then you would make friends there definately as the Aussies afre very friendly. I have found that as soon as other poms hear you they make a bee line for you and take u under thier wing, thats whats happened to us anyway. Hang in there duck and which part of Melb are you in, we are in Craigieburn. Best wishes Helen.:v_SPIN:
