A meet up in February sounds great. Haven't been to one yet so will look forward to it!

Hi We went down the Great Ocean Road in November and stayed in Apollo Bay (4 adults). We really enjoyed it there - lots of options for accommodation. Just be aware that most restaurants stop serving around 8pm so ensure you either book or find somewhere relatively early. Here is a link to where we stayed - self serviced apt which we found great value for money http://www.greatoceanroadtrip.com/cgi-bin/rez60load.pl?0052/ab0052.html The owner was really friendly and recommended places for us to go. It was only a 5 minute walk into the promenade/shops/beach of Apollo Bay so no one had to drive to restuarants in the evenings. Hope that's of some help!

Hi Helen Sounds great - I will send you a private message with my contact details. Gemma

Hi Helen I am from north of Aberdeen & Keith is from Anstruther but lived in Edinburgh before moving out here. We are really enjoying Melbourne & feel quite settled now. Love where we are in South Yarra as it's close to everything. Have met a few people through work but looking meet more people of a similar age who are more local. Gemma

We moved from Scotland to Melbourne Sept 2012 and are loving it so far. Keen to make new friends & socialise a bit more now we're settled in. Let us know if anyone wants to meet up!

Hi My partner Keith & I moved out from Scotland a few months ago! We agree that Christmas is very strange without the cold & snow. We are in South Yarra so not sure if that's a bit far away for you?

Hi ladies Just joined the forum. Moved to Melbourne with my other half 3 months ago but seriously lacking female company. I am 28 and live in South Yarra. Would love to come along to any catch ups you have after Christmas! Gemma
