purplestar Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hey all, My partner and I are recent migrants to Melbourne - 3 months in now. All is going well although we have a few concerns & would love to have some folk around to chat to who have gone through similar. We wondered if there were any meet ups planned or discussion groups or anything that helps new migrants navigate their new landscape so to speak. We have Australian friends and all the people we have met so far have been super friendly but its always god to have a group of people who have been there and done that when we have questions. We would be grateful for any info if there are any groups like that around in the Melbourne area :smile: Thanks Clare & David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
