Wolla Bolla Bing Bong Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hey all, I have visited this site many times reading the many stories and tales. Its been interesting, fun and I have learnt alot. My situation is this, just 3 weeks ago my agent lodged my Carpenter 176 visa for QLD and my agent also sent my DIAC application to be lodged. For the first time in 15 months I have nothing to do for my visa, no paperwork, no research to gather and no exams as I have passed the necessary ones. The next thing for me is to make new friends on here so when I arrive, we could meet up for get togethers and socialising. In fact, the first drinks will be on me! I am travelling on my own and a little undecided as to where to settle in QLD. The first place that springs to mind is Brisbane of course but I was hoping for a place with good night light but also, plenty of outdoor activities close by. I love to cycling, playing football and a qualified Dive Master. Sorry about waffling on for my first post, I tend to do that when I am a little nervous. I appreciate any help you could provide and look forward to hearing from you. Cheers :hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoll Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Nah, you'll be fine. It's a singles world out there and you should just branch out and hang with the natives - you'll find some watering holes I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near to some great beaches, not far from the night life at Surfers Paradise and plenty to do here, especially with 5 Major theme parks on the door step. Oly 45 mins from Brisbane as well. Good Luck in you decision. April x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone meet up for social gatheings from PIO every month? I would like to be added to the list if there is such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
