Guest Binbininoz Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Hi All, I am new to this site and join in aim of meeting some new people! I am a 23 year old pom who has emmigrated to Australia in April 2005 on a prospective marriage visa.... we finally got hitched on November 12th! So to all of you'ze thinking it cant be done... have faith in yourselves and your relationships, and like my nan always says...'keep ya chin up'!! I have found it very hard moving here away from all my family and friends, and have found it extreamily difficult to settle and make friends, so if anyone else here is in the same position, or would like to stop for a chat, please do.... I could do with lots of social conversations!!!! Love Binbin! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rico Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hi Jess Just thought I'd drop you a message to say thats me finally arrived in Sydney (well I got here last Thursday). So far its been fun, buts a lot to take in. I've been out some people from my new job and a couple of peopleI knew from back home in Scotland, but I'm still kinda lonely. Whats been happening with yourself? cheers Rico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest afs Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Hi I just got here a couple of months ago on a WHV but am in the process of putting application together for PR. I am based in Melbourne at the moment. Lucky I have family and some friends from England close by which has made things a lot easier, but still go through phases of homesickness (even though I am in regular contact with the folks back home - its still a big adjustment) I have found this site quite helpful and people in general at work and stuff have been helpful to with advice on pretty much everything. Having fun learning about a new country and still on the hunt to find authentic fish and chips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
