Guest toniclare Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hiya, is anyone here in Port Macquarie? We arrived in beautiful Port on 3rd January this year and we are loving it so far. I'm here with my husband and 17 year old son, I'm studying hairdressing at TAFE, Zac (my son) is studying graphic design at TAFE and hubby Chris is still looking for a job! We're loving Port but would be good to meet some like minded people. I'm 35, hubby is 44, we're living in Lighthouse area and enjoy a good BBQ (obvioulsy!).........is there anyone else out there in the same position? We've left a lot of friends back in Hampshire in the UK and they are more than happy to tell us what they're upto on facebook.....theatre trips, murder mystery evenings and skiing trips to name but a few, so we're missing our friends :-( Would be great to hear from anyone....... Toni :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest colandsue Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hi Toni, I wish we were still there ,we would have loved to have met up with you guys for sure. We lived there for four years, in the Lighthouse area too. We moved on for various reasons,but really really miss the place.We hope to return maybe next year fingers and toes crossed. I am a teeny weeny bit older than you and have a son also wanting to get into graphic design he is 16 and currently doing his cert 2 in IT. What a shame, I would have let you practice on my hair......maybe lol. I am hoping to come back for a holiday, maybe then you can throw us a snag on the barbie. Keep in touch, would be nice to hear from you. Take care Sue x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest littlebigsue Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hi Toni I've just arrived here in Port Macquarie. I'm 34 and single. I'm desperately trying to find friends too! So if you fancy meeting up, then let me know. I'm living the other side of Port, near Coles shopping centre. Cheers Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Dickos Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 He guys - we are moving to Port at the end of June this year. We are both near our 40's and have 3 girls (16/13&10), would love to meet up when we get there. We are lucky, as my sister lives in Lighthouse, so we have family to go to and more importantly, stay with (even tho she knows we will drink all her wine). We fell in love with Port when we last visited my sister in Xmas 2007 - we had already started the visa process, but we werent sure where to live. I would be good to hear from anyone out there, so please get in touch. Lee and Anya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe and Debbie Hi Joe and Debbie, It would be great to meet up at Finnians, I'm having my first trip there tomorrow with the girls from tafe for the quiz night, I've heard it's a great place to go.

Guest joendeb Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hi Toni and Chris We've never tried the quiz night so we'd love to come along....so long as you dont mind a bloke crashing your girlie night out?! I've had a look at finnians website and it says the quiz starts at 730 so how does meeting up there just after 7 sound? We're quite easy to spot- I'm 6'5 shaved head and glasses and debs is about a foot shorter than me with brown hair. If any of the other posters in this thread fancy coming along it'd be great to meet you too, the more the merrier! we could even have a pommy team to take on the aussies at the quiz....and we could continue the great english tradition of losing horribly!!

Hi Joe and Deb, Not to worry we might me a little late too, I'm cuttently working in a hair salon in Horton Street but my boss has advised me today that she might need me to stay on a bit later on Thursday, typical! We will defo be there, the latest I could be working is 8pm....at the very latest! As for the quiz last week, completely rubbish! So I hope your full of general knowledge! I don;t think I'll make a career out of it hehe....good fun though. Best tell you what we look like....I'm shortish with long brown hair (I'll be dressed in black which is the uniform for the salon) and Chris has short brown hair and brown eyes.....probably wearing jeans and a t-shirt. See you Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest littlebigsue Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks for the email Joe and Debs. I normally go Latin Dancing on a Thursday, so possibly not tonight, although, I might get out of it, and come down. If you need someone very bad at quizes, I am definately your woman! I'm fairly easy to spot....as I'm probably the shortest person in the pub at 5ft and brown hair. I may have a group of foreigners tagging along with me, as I stay in a backpackers, but if that's the case, we'll make our own team, but I'll come and say hi, if I hear any English accents! Or come and say hi to me, if you recognise me! Cheers Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Dickos Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hi Guys, We have just arrived in Port from the Wirral and apart from being tired, we ahve all enjoyed our first full day in Oz. Our family consists of myself - Lee 38, my wife Anya (just about to turn 40 in Aug) and our 3 girls - 16 / 13 & 10. We would love to meet up for a few cold ones with anybody as we love to socialise. In fact, I have all ready been to Hocket trg just off Ocean Drive to meet up with the guys from Taching Point Hockey Club. We are currently living with my sister in Crestwood and would love to hear from anybody out there. Anyway, heres hoping !!! The Dickos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joendeb Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hello The Dickos Congratulations on making it to Oz, and welcome to Port! Its a bit last minute i know, but me and debs are meeting toni and chris again tonight (thurs 25th) at Finnians for the quiz....we managed to come second last time which we were all rather surprised by (!) and you never know with your help we could beat all the ozzys on their home turf! We should be there from about 7pm i reckon, so if the jet lags not too bad come down! cheers J & D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Dickos Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi Guys, Thanks for the invite, but we have already been roped into babysitting the nephew this evening. But, if this is a weekly quiz, we would love to come out next week - it would be really good to meet up. We are living with my sister at the moment (she married an Oz) and moved out here a few years ago), so our Pommie numbers seem to ever increasing in Port. Thanks for getting in contact and we hope to meet up soon. Lee and Anya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
