No we havent secured jobs yet, we will be searching once we land.

Hi Pom Queen, Thank you for replying Well since you've lived there before I would like to ask what areas you would recommend for living. As a start we want to live 'relatively' close to the city centre and preferably in a flat or town house. We obviously want something family friendly with good school options. We are considering Essendon... Would you recommend it? Thanks

Hi everyone! Me and my family (husband and 4 yr old twins) will be moving from Dubai to Melbourne in a few months but Im planning a visit on my own in 2 weeks. Was hoping to meet up with anyone just to socialise. I dont know many people in Melbourne and although I will be busy during the day looking at houses, schools, and the usual. It would still be great to catch up for coffee or drinks with anyone who might be interested Thanks!

Hi Tracey, I will be moving to Melbourne in a few months with my family, but planning a solo visit in 2 weeks. Would be great to meet up if you're up for it!

Thanks for the reply Maxine! Yes it seems we'll have to make a huge effort and be really social in order to make new friends. But I suppose that's the case when you move to somewhere completely new. Yes do let me know if you're ever in Melbourne. Take Care

Hi Maxine, Me and my husband plan to move to Melbourne soon with our 3.5 year old twins. Just wondering how easy you found it meeting new people there. Do you have kids?

Hi all, Me and my husband will also be moving to Melbourne from the UAE. We are in our 30s and have 3.5 year old twins. Ill be coming next February to check things out before the big move, and would love to meet some people who already live there! Please PM me if you're up for it
