Suzi Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hi there, I've just moved with my family from South Sydney to Varsity Lakes/Robina area. We are having friendship withdrawal leaving Sydney and would love to meet some families locally. I'm in my early 40's and our son is 7 and daughter is 5. We moved from Edinburgh 3 years ago but found the Sydney property market too steep for us, hence the move here. If there's anyone around who fancies a meet up please let me know, Cheers, Suzi.

Suzi Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 My dad lives there but I never really did. I'm Australian born from Scots/Irish parents and moved to Scotland when I was 15 (and briefly from 2-4yrs of age). My Scottish hubby and I came backpacking to Oz in 2002 for a year and we always said we'd come back when we had kids to settle...so here we are 3 years post big move. We joke that I'm a Scozzie now. Safe trip x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Suzi, We're in Robina. Meet up for a drink in the New Year. We're just about to go back to the UK for 3 weeks holiday but catch up when we get back.

lynste Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hi Suzi We (Hubby and two girls 13 & 9) from Edinburgh are moving to the Gold Coast next Wednesday and can't wait would have been sooner but other half insisted on seeing the last Scotland v England rugby match and Edinburgh Derby before he was leaving!! We have been looking online at houses around Varsity Lakes/Robina as I will be studying at Southern Cross Uni. Would be great to meet up as I have never been to this part of Oz before. Any hints, tips or advice would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
