Hi everyone,
I'm lynne, hope you dont mind me hijacking your thread, we are still in freezing cold england at the moment but hoping to be in Brisbane June/July time. There is me, (51) oh (45) and his 17 year old who will be joining us 2010 when she is finished her A levels, I'm a nurse, got a job in the Mater Hospital, dont know yet what oh will do till we get there.

We were looking at the Springfield Lakes, Collingwood Park area to live, and help and advice would be gratefully recieved.

Happy new year to you all

 

Hi Lynne, Springfield Lakes/Collingwood Park is a lovely area, there are a few of us that live there (i'm Aussie, hubby is a Pom) we have a few get togethers (acutally doing one tonight for NYE).

 

Hi,
We're new to this site & new to Brisbane & looking for people to meet. Also, is there anyone with toddlers or knows of mums or dads groups out there? Finding it alot more difficult to locate them than when we were in London!

"We" are Adam (English, 31), Claire (Aussie from Sydney but back after living in the UK for 10 yrs, 36) and Soren (14 mths) and have just moved into a rented house in Alderley (northside apparently given my limited knowledge of Brisbane!). We've just signed up to the BBC group but if anyone is interested in meeting up, please let me know!

Cheers,
Claire

 

Hi There,

My partner and I moved to Brisbane 2 months ago and we are living in Springifield Lakes. We think it is Fantastic!! The lakes, the shopping centre, the kids parks, tennis and basketball courts!! Really is a lovely area. We would not move anywhere else! One thing I will say though, is make sure you have transport! There is not too much in the way of public transport at the moment as the area is still so new! But really worth living here we love it!
