Hey, everyone! So we moved from Scotland almost 2 years ago now, and although I'm starting to settle I'd really like to meet some more people in the same shoes as I am. I am soon to be 14 and am currently in Grade 9. If anyone in Mackay or hereabouts would like to meet up please let me know. Thanks, Robyn

Hi Lauren, we moved from Scotland when I was 12 and for the first few months it was amazing! We had beaches and sunshine and everything just seemed so perfect, but then the reality sunk in and I hated it. I didn't really miss my family that much because we spoke to them everyday but I noticed that I was losing contact with my friends. I also found it really hard to fit in at first as my group of friends seemed to constantly change, but now on out second year I've settled alot. I still miss Scotland and there are some days where you just want to cry but I am getting used to the fact that this is where I live now, and if you're friends aren't really trying to keep in touch, then maybe they weren't such great friends after all. I hope you settle really well, and if you don't right away you will eventually. The point is, it gets easier. Robyn

Hi, you asked what there is to do for teenagers in the Gold Coast. If you pay around $90 you can but a years pass to the theme parks. That way you can go whenever you want; after school, the weekends ect.
