Guest cazd Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hey - Just found this post, not moving until August - hope it's all still going on and that I can find this post again!! Coming over in May for a few week's so if all goes well I might get out before - but definately need to find some friends! Enjoy Friday, I'd much rather be in a beer garden in Oz than at work!!

Guest mojo82 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hi everyone, Just found this thread and would love to also meet some new friends. Me and my fiance Dean have been here for 5 months and really enjoying it. We have just moved to Northcote and would love to meet up at the next get together. I also thought the facebook post idea was good too, not sure if it's been started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winkle100 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Just had an idea. We (myself 32, wife 33, son 3, daughter 1) are moving to Melbourne from the UK first week in June. Why don't we set a facebook page up for Poms in Melbourne? That way we could all chat/facebook each other which could be easier for people like me with the app on their phones. Good/Bad Idea????? Let me know :smile: Revs did you ever set up the Facebook page? We; Me my wife and boys 4 and 2 are in the final part of our 176 and will be landing in Melbourne around the middle of next year so well be up for the meet ups... Were looking at Sanctuary, Point cook or Altona..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sharpie76 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi Lee, sorry to confuse you i forgot to put my name on my last mail, its Nicki lol. I am originally from london and my partner from the west midlands. Well i say more the more the merrier, I know its so difficult to get sitters, my daughter is 15 so not much of an issue when it comes to babysitters. Perhaps i need to freelance my daughter out lol. Well weekends are great for me we are free most weekends except this weekend as we are moving house, so pretty busy, I will do some research to see where is good to go for drinks south yarra is nice, so is Richmond, is this area ok foryou guys to get too? let me know if not might have to do some reseach for somewhere nearer. Let me know what you think!! Nicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ferrywebs Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi nicki, ye i had got confused due to the post being quoted ha ha :laugh:. ye would be great to meet up. we have a car so no problem getting there, we haven`t used much public transport apart from the train into the city, so i will have to look into buses etc if we want to have a drink. i will send u a private message with my mobile no, Lee.

Guest NickPinchbeck Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hello all, Just to chuck another name into the mix, I'm also looking to meet up with people for a catch up and drinks I've been here four weeks but work has been too busy to get out and meet many people. I'm living very close to the CBD so if anyone is around this weekend and fancies a beer or some food let me know. I'm English, 31, from between Brighton and London. Cheers!

Guest Frenglish Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hey everyone, It's great there's so many people on here! And the other nights out seem to have gone well- that's brilliant! My partner and I land in Melbourne monday so if there are any upcoming events then I shall be crashing them! :wink: We're 25 and 26 and eager to make new friends! I'm english but my partner is french so I hope you guys don't mind a frenchie coming along....?! :laugh: My partner has a new job so will make new friends straight away (hopefully) but I'll be looking for work when I'm there so I shall seriously have a lack of friends and social contact! :tongue: Anyway, hoping to see some of you in the near future! Dinner, drinks, hanging out- whatever! Just great to meet new people in similar situations! Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Revs30 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Just be careful Frenglish, drinks here are DEAR unless you buy a slab or block and drink at home. Looking at 8 or 9 dollars a pint at pubs, not cheap at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are based in North Melbourne and have been here 3 weeks so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
