Hi there

I 've just arrived in Brisbane with my partner, Glenn and my 15 month old son George on a skilled migration visa from Sheffield. We are staying in the Cleveland area and wonder if we could meet up with others who have settled or who are still settling in just like us.

Would love to meet up for a coffee, lunch etc. We are fairly flexible as we aren't working as yet.

Hi Jane! We moved to Victoria Point a few weeks ago, after arriving in Oz in May, and we'd like to meet up! My other half, Martin, is already working. We have 2 kids, Isobel 4 and Joe 2 and we often go to Cleveland Point, so could meet maybe one day next weekend? We're Southerners, but don't let that put you off! We haven't met many people yet, so will be nice to chat to people who know what it feels like to start all over again. If you want to meet elsewhere, thats fine.

Hi Jane

I hope you are settling in well. We are in Thornlands. I'd love to meet for a coffee sometime. My kids are in school, but that's ok!

Let me know if you would like to meet.

Love

Fred

Hi Kelly
Great to hear from you. Would love to meet this week Thursday or at the weekend. Glenn and I can do Thursday afternoon as George will be at day school or we can all meet sometime this weekend. Let me know if any good and we can arrange a time/place.

Hi Jane, sorry to not reply sooner, we've had my Mum here for 3 weeks and she left to go home yesterday. We'd love to meet up at the weekend, it will be easier for me if Martin is with us as trying to chat with my two around is near impossible!! Would Saturday morning, about 11 o clock be ok? We could meet at Cleveland point, or Wellington point (there are lots of points around here!) or if there is somewhere else you'd rather meet, that's fine. Our trips out always centre around some kind of play area!! Let me know if this suits you.

Ok kelly

Lets meet on Saturday morning at Cleveland Point, 11am. Hope that is ok for you. We will be driving a pale ble Mitsubishi. There is a cafe there so we can let the kids play while we try and relax a bit!!

Look forward to seeing you there.

we've got a silver hyundai excel with a green and purple stripe thing on the side!(its all we could afford at the time!) You'll be able to tell who we are by Martin, he's 6ft 4, got shoulder length curly dark hair and glasses!
Look forward to meeting you

Hi Jane

Just seen your thread. We're coming over to Brisbane on a reccie trip next week and will be staying in the Cleveland area for some of our stay (22nd Sept - 2nd Oct). It would be great to meet up with some people who have made the move already.

We have a 3 year old daughter and a 10 month old son and are living in Merseyside - although I'm a Yorkshire lass and my hubbie is Irish..

It would be lovely to meet for a coffee and chat whilst we're over.

Hi Penny

Good to hear from you. We could get together while you are in the area sometime over that weekend 26/27 September or early one weekday evening. Generally we are free after work from 5pm.

Hogs Breath Cafe, Raby Bay Harbour at Cleveland is a good meeting point.

Let me know what suits.

Hope you have a safe flight.

Jane

 

Hi Jane

That would be great!

I'll send a message to arrange a suitable day/time once we arrive and find our feet.

How did you find the flight over with your little boy? I have to say I'm not really looking forward to our flight on sunday with a 3 year old and a 10 month old, when neither of them want to stay still for a second unless they're asleep!!

Thankfully we're staying with some aussie friends in Strathpine for the first few days to get ourselves sorted - and I have a large G&T on order already for when we arrive!!

Take Care

Penny
