MARYROSE02 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I was going to come myself and got the train from Central to Wynyard, then meandered down to The Rocks. Found my way to The Lord Nelson which I'd not been to for decades, thought I'd pop in to settle my nerves. 'Real' ale, only sold in pints and middies. $8.50 for a pint. Then I got interested in Wallabies v NZ. I went for a Macca at Circular Quay, finally made it to The Hart and it was all in darkness. So there was a fire! I went past the Belgian place too. Had a last schooner at The Trinity Bar in Surry HIlls. Next time I might get my act together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Whaleys Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 It was a bit crazy, we couldn't believe it! Yes let's try and arrange the next meet up for somewhere that's less flammable ahaha! Maybe a nice picnic in the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JenM Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 hello, would definitely be up for the next Sydney drinks (if there aren't any fires or anything!)

Guest smc3004 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hi. I have newly arrived in Sydney from the UK and would love to meet up for drinks/coffee. I have managed to find a flat in Glebe and am happily orgainsing everything before my OH arrives in December! I work in the City so evenings/weekends good for me too. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gazandruth Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hi everyone! Me and my partner would definitely be up for coming along to the next meet up. We are both 29 and live over in Manly but a meet up in the city sounds great. We have been in Oz for a year now so it would be great to meet some new people and give any newbies some tips.

HelB Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I moved over a couple of weeks ago and I would be interested in the next meet up too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belfast2Sydney Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hey... my boyfriend moved to Sydney in July (I'm from Sydney) and I'd love for us to meet some new mates, he's missing his friends from back home!! We'd love to come along to the next drinks meet up - if there is one??? We're both 25 by the way, live down in Cronulla but city drinks would be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BristolCouple Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hi ...Only just joined Poms in Oz so not sure if we are a little late for this post BUT likewise to all of the above, we're new arrivals and would like to start meeting people over here instead of reminiscing about friends back home! Would love to know if anyone is up for drinks. We live in Manly but happy to go out in the city. Melissa and Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lizzie1986 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hi all, we really want to expand our circle of friends and are always up for new adventures :wink: I'm 25 and my partner Ben is nearly 27!!

Evans D Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi Melissa / pete, locked onto your post as you mentioned you were based in Manly. Clare and I have recently moved here from Reading, into sports / outdoors life and the odd beverage or 3! Would be keen to meet new locals so get in touch if you're up for it. Cheers dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foyna Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi, We land on Friday!!!!! Excited and nervous. Keen to meet up over the next couple of weeks if anyone fancies it! Learn from all your experiences and remind you how bad the weather is in the UK! I hear it's pretty nice in Sydney right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lizzie1986 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi Foyna, How exciting!! where abouts will you be living in sydney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foyna Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi Lizzie! Sorry my name is Fiona I just use foyna as log in! We're thinking Darlinghurst or Surry Hills. Although for the first week we'll be in Pennant Hills as my auntie lives there and then getting 4 weeks in a serviced apartment from my boyfriends company! Might give us some time to save for the deposit and advance rent on a place! Where abouts do you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lizzie1986 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Oh... lol, I did think Foyna was very different I live in Coogee but I love Surry Hills and Darlinghurst. I think I live more so in Surry Hills restaurants and bars It would be great to meet up with you...Pennant Hills is +40mins away from me so might be easier to meet when you move closer? I bet you can't wait to get over here and explore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AProctor1 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi OK, it seems that there are many of us that want to get together for another night out (sans fire!), so I have taken it upon myself to suggest a few dates, let me know which suits... Location: Somewhere in the Rocks Dates: (all Fri/Sat) 7th or 8th Oct, 14th or 15th Oct, 21st or 22nd Oct Personally I would prefer a Saturday but happy to do either! Thanks Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lizzie1986 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hey Andrea, That sounds like a good plan I can make 7th or 8th. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-33.924820,151.256197 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevehalloz Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hi, I've been in Sydney for a while now (32 years in fact) but still miss the UK and have had many visits "home." If you don't mind someone a tad older than 27 tagging along (kind of 32 years older0 I'd love to say "hi." If we're talking the Rocks on Saturday 7th October can I suggest the Lord Nelson because a) it is the best pub in Sydney (IMHO); b) it does the best beer in Australia, no questions; c) until very recently it was my local and d) the World Cup 1/4 final will be on at 6.30pm and it's a good atmosphere. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Steve You must arrived about the same time as me - 3 November, 1978 - in WA and about a month later in Sydney. I went in the Lord Nelson when I was intending to go to the last night out at ?Reeds? something like that. To be honest I went into the Nelson for a bit of Dutch Courage although I only wanted a schooner's worth not a pint! Are you in Leichhardt? What's that pub about half way down Norton St? Royal Oak? I liked going in there when I lived in Lilyfield. Pretend you are a Spurs fan and come to the Triple Ace pub - corner of Elizabeth/Campbell Sts - Wigan is the next game tomorrow from about 1030 KO midnight.
