BrisbaneGirl Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hi Angela and Steve - I have just joined Pomz in Oz hoping to meet some other Brits and came across your post! Similar story, been here a few years, but both busy with work/kids! Which part of Brisbane are you in? We're in the Western suburbs (The Gap). Would be great to be able to meet some more Brits!

Redbeccy81 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hello we (husband Nick and me - Beccy) arrived in July and have just rented long term in Ferny Grove, my son is six and about to start school, feeling a bit Beccy no mates so would be great to touch base with people! I've just joined the BBC thanks Chortlepuss :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrisbaneGirl Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hi Becky - we are planning to meet with Angela and Steve this Sunday morning and walk up Mt Coot-tha to the Lookout. If you're interested I also have a six yr old who can manage the walk so your son should be ok! My husband and I are also going to battle our way through the crowds on sat night to see the fireworks at Riverfire, welcome to join us?

angelaandsteve Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 G'day Becky ... Great to hear from you ... we can avoid the 'Beccy No Mates Feeling' ... no worries ... Hopefully you can join Julia and her family at the fireworks and / or all of us for the walk on Sunday morning ... If not ... we can plan something else that suits ... either way we can get together soon ... Look forward to meeting you ...

Mjboo Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hi guys, my family and I (husband, plus 1 son who is 7yrs and a 10month old daughter) arrived in Brisbane last Friday! We are planning on heading to the river fire on Saturday (not sure where abouts exactly yet)! We are looking for a long term rental and a school (feeling slightly overwhelmed and unsure of where to go), maybe we can meet up with you guys too? My son is desperate to find some children his own age! ☺️ Rebecca x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrisbaneGirl Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hi Rebecca! It is really overwhelming when you first arrive - I bet you're barely over your jet lag?! You are very welcome to join us on sat at Riverfire, we usually go down a little earlier and hang about for a while and enjoy the atmosphere! We've usually found a spot where the kids can play - let me know if you are interested and I'll send you some details. Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelaandsteve Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 G'day Rebecca, Wow ... Friday ... you are sure to be overwhelmed ... but def. exciting times too ... Not sure if you have met up with any others who have joined this thread already ... but we are meeting for a walk up Mt Coot tha on Sunday if that takes your fancy ... if not we can plan something else ... just let us know what / when suits you ... Where are you looking at settling down .. north of south of the river ?? Have a great day ... Look forward to hearing from you / meeting you in the near future ...

Redbeccy81 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Hi Julia, Angela and Rebecca sorry for late response, no internet yet so using my phone to log in! hope you all enjoyed Riverfire, we caught it from a distance on our way back from an inland explore. We'd love to join you guys at My Cootha, if you see this before you go...what time and where? If too late today then another time would be great! Hopefully catch up soon, Beccy Edited September 26, 2015 by Redbeccy81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelaandsteve Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Good Morning Beccy, Hope that you had fun exploring ... would love to hear all about it ... We are meeting at the 'Slaughter Falls' car park at about 9.30'ish ... hope that suits ... My mobile is 0431 592 747 just in case ... See you soon ..

BrisbaneGirl Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Morning ladies - just thinking that we should meet at the start of the walk (near the toilet block!) as there are a quite a few car parking spots parks before the walk (if that makes sense!). See you there around 9.30! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
