pez2008 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Can we now pick a venue as its only a 3 weeks away. Belmont hotel is ok, but i think a pub in town might be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest37175 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi everyone, Harpdom is taking a well earned rest from posting for a few weeks, but he has asked me to pass on a message that he's looking forward to meeting as many folk as can possibly make the meet-up at The Scottish Chiefs on Friday Feb 25th from 6pm onwards. Hope you have a cracking evening. Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coxy04 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 For anyone living in or around Geelong, can you recommend areas to live, will possibly be working in Melbourne and doing the commute, but would really welcome any advice on areas. If it helps to show what we're looking for....i'm a nurse, OH, David is painter & decorator, looking to start up his own business agin in Oz, have family 4,6,16 and 19, with 23yr old to follow. So we'll be looking for somewhere with reasonable commute distance to Melbourne, good transport links, schools, university access, etc. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernie inn Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi Coxy, Geelong is about an hours train ride from central melbourne, it also has a a unviersity (Deakin) which seems pretty good. There are lots of decent areas between Geelong and Melbourne it depends what you want. Geelong is a city which is nice with a good shopping centre and nicely spread out, and is just right for us. If you want a bit quieter then Lare is quiet which cheap rentals and good homes. Werribee seems nice and has a great zoo, also resonably priced housing. Point Cook/Sanctuary Lakes to be honest the houses for the price are stunning with plenty of land. However I found it a bit sterile here ( I have only visited a couple of times though). The best thing to do is decide where to head for first then have an explore and decide where to settle but thus far we haven't seen a bad area.

gilliantay Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 It is now 1.30 am and I have just got in after attending the Geelong meet that Harpodom arranged ......... what a brilliant night. Lots of talk, lots of wine and lots of laughs. Let's hope that this happens on a regular basis. Look forward to seeing you all again......soon Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
