Just a quick note that the Thursday drinks in the city is not happening tonight! Not sure when they will organise the next one but will post again then x

I think its on Thursday 4th April at bavarian

Yes I think thats right - 4th April for the next meet up We should be going again

Hi is everything ok Gordon?

Had a great time last night at the meet up. Met some lovely people and even got a free glass of pink champagne at the bar!!

Hi Emma I know some people that live in Eatons Hill and really like it there. It seems to have a great school but I think it is more pricey to live there than say its neighbouring areas (e.g Albany Creek). Hamilton is also quite close by and again i've heard good things about that area too. Not been here that long so can't advise well, but hopefully more info will come along soon for you. Good luck with your move

Hi We live near the city and have been here 4 months now. Again just send me a message when you are due to come over and happy to meet you

Lyca mobile have cheap rates as do Amaysim You can buy the sim cards from most places as long as your phones are unlocked. http://www.amaysim.com.au/ http://www.lycamobile.com.au/en/ Plus the added bonus of calling internationally too We are on optus networks and can call each other for free but agree that the pre-paid expiry sucks! There are apps that you can use too but they use wifi or need data for it to work - ie WhatsApp, Viber, Skype Not sure if this helps you in anyway.

wow thats a lot of brisbane that you mentioned. Well good luck with it all and hope to see you when you move over. Good luck with the job hunt!

Hi sent you a PM

Hi DDash How are you settling? There is a meet up organised for this Thursday (7th March) in the city. I know you said you're not up for meeting loads of people in one go, but we are meeting another couple first for a meal before heading over to the bar for drinks (the meet up). You are very welcome to join us. We are all a similar age to you. Let me know if you want to join us. Jit

I think there is a train station close by that would take you directly into the CBD - dont know what the service is like though. I wouldn't want to drive into the CBD!!!

Hi Such an emotional week for you I guess with excitement and nerves etc. It will be fab!! We spent 5 days in Singapore before flying into Brisbane. Its a great way to break up the journey so we didn't feel as jet lagged as we did the last time we came (that was a holiday though). We found it easier to adjust to the timezone. Sentosa Island was nice and has a theme park too. Its a nice day out but to be honest the beaches on the sunny coast are much nicer than sentosa. We didn't do the botanical gardens but heard its lovely. If you can try to experience the quays during the evening dinner/drinks - I think there are 3 - Robertson, Clarke and Boat. Each have a different atmosphere but all safe places to go even with kiddies. I have to add the service on Singapore Airlines was fab. The food was good and the seemed to help out the families really well. Where abouts are you going to be staying in Brisbane? Good luck with your move over x

This is a monthly meet up so I'm sure this will still be going when you arrive. Which area are you planning to move to? Good luck with moving over and let us know if you need any help
