We are going to be in and around Robina/Varsity Lakes/Burleigh Heads....my OH job is located in Robina. Did you guys already have jobs to go out to? Where abouts have you settled? Thanks for the offer of further info will hold you to that and will defo meet up when we get there.:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am moving to the GC with my girlfriend end of January 2011 and am looking to make some new friends. Has it been difficult to meet people? Any top tips you can offer on starting a new social life would be greatly appreciated. If your not too far away would be happy to meet up for a drink and chat.

Any top tips you can offer on starting a new social life would be greatly appreciated. If your not too far away would be happy to meet up for a drink and chat. Hi ya, Yes, would love to meet up for a drink and a chat! My husband and I live in Shailer Park, half way between Surfers and Brisbane so it's not to far! I used to commute down to Surfers everyday for work ... eeekk! Broadbeach has some really nice outside cafes - when are you landing?? It's always difficult leaving your friends behind and trying to find new ones - we've found this. But maybe it's our age bracket, we don't go out clubbing ect and don't have kids so finding places to meet people besides work has proved more difficult. We've made a small group of friends - in fact some are coming around to celebrate New Years!!! And I'm sure hangovers to follow Saturday!! What made you guy's decide on the Gold Coast?? Do you guy's have family in Oz?? What do you guy's do for work?? Must dash - Cheery, Sarah Ps - Hopefully by the time you get here the rain will have stopped - It's been terrible weather!!!

Guest headinabox Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hi we are in Jacobs Well, which is north end of the GC. I'm 35, my wife is 30 and we have two boys aged 2 and 4. We are also originally from Yorkshire (Bingley in Bradford) and moved to the GC just over a year ago. By the way, does anyone else from Yorkshire keep getting asked if you are Irish? Anyway - We enjoy going to the beach, beers, BBQs, family days out, fishing (well I do anyway) and most importantly, a good chat and a laugh without having to speak slowly so people understand your accent (see above!). Please let us know if anyones planning a get together, or simply PM me if you want to meet up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've passed it loads of times on the way up to the mountains, but never been in. Do you know if it's child friendly as we have two little'uns aged 2 & 4.
