Ja55ren Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hi sarah<br><br>i live in rural view as well which really is round the corner from you. I'm from uk and been here for about 7 months. Hubby at work all day and me and kids entertain ourselves (14 months and 2 and half). Went to our first playgroup session which wasn't that good. Still Billy no mates at the moment. Let me know if you interested in coffee or something!<br><br>jas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann87 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hi, I've been in mackay for 2 and a half years. Going to the library events such as baby bounce and story time are a great way to meet people, I find the mums really friendly. Also mainly music is great for the kids and there is a morning tea after for the parents so again an easy way to meet people and have a chat. THere is also a new friends group run at Gordon White library on a Friday morning, I went when I first got here and it was really nice and the ladies really helpful.

Eera Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 PCYC is on Norris Road, North Mackay. It's $7 for non-members, $4 for members and the kids love it; it's basically an indoors basketball court full of toys that they just run riot in (9-12 mon-fri). I'm probably going tomorrow as I can toss the kids in and do my university assignments at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stjceah Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 thanks ann 87 have joined that facebook group, I have taken my 2 youngest to story time at the library and they enjoy that, too big for baby bounce now thanks for the info about pcyc eera would have gone today but been busy this morning will maybe see you there next week, are you able to just join on the day you go? am sure my girls will love it being able to just run a muck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eera Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I might be there next week though going to Airlie on Friday so might be heading off early instead. If you go in there and see reception you can join for a fee which makes the day rate half price (might be $20 per year, can't remember), otherwise you can pay the full price on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
