Guest aussiegemandpauluk Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 If anyone would like to organise getting together for a drink or a day out with the kids we would love to hear from you. We arrived on the Gold Coast In October from Colchester, Essex. We are 33 & 34 with kids 3yrs and 10mths. Paul, my husband is from Colchester. I was born in Australia (my parents are '£10 Poms') but have lived in the U.K since I was 19. Returning with a family has been a bit daunting but we are getting settled and the kids are loving it. :v_SPIN: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aussiegemandpauluk Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 That sounds great, our daughter will be 4 in July so she'll love your two. Paul's parents are here visiting from the U.K until 12th May so it might be easier if we meet up after they have gone back home. Are you guys free either Sat 14th or Sun 15th May? Maybe we could meet up down Broadwater Parklands or something, we went there today and the kids loved the new rock pools they have down there now. Paradise Point is good for the kids too. Anyway let us know what you think, have a great Easter. Gemma & Paul xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellsbells712 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hi I'm Helen, we are living in Pimpama so not far from Oxenford at all. If it's ok with you guys I would like to meet up too. We have 2 kids, Connor is 6 nearly 7 and Natasha is 5. Only been here 4 weeks so still not met many people. Kids are loving it here and have settled into school, but when they come home its just them 2 and would be nice for them to have other children to play with. Get in touch if you would like to meet up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomac Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi, have there been any meet ups yet? Any coffee mornings?

No there has been no meet-ups or coffee mornings yet. Perhaps we could organise something. I've just handed in my notice in my current job so will have some spare time after 10 June. Also there is a group called "The Brisbannittes on Facebook. Its a closed group so you need to request to join. They organise meet-ups. There's a girls night out coming up on 11th June and 25th June a meet-up for all the family, location undecided yet. Have you got a car. If you ever fancy a coffee, we could meet up, maybe around Helensvale or somewhere. x Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Louey Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hey All We have been on the Gold Coast for 4 months I am Jayne (39) and my OH Angie (32). We don't have any kids but do have nieces and nephews back in the UK and miss having kids around. We have joined the Brisbannittes group but would love to have something closer to home. Perhaps we should set up a Gold Coast group as there seems to be lots of folks down here. If you arrange a meet please give us a shout.....we work but are free most weekends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kchris06 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi Firstly I will say upfront that I'm cheating here, I'm not technically a pom, but I believe my ancestors were, and my wife and I have both BEEN (separately) to the UK! We're in the same boat roughly speaking, as I'm looking to move my family to the GC within the year from NSW (Gosford) and I'm doing my research on schools for our kids (2 boys aged 9 and 6) and meeting families. My wife is Annie, I'm Stuart, we're both studying at uni, I'm working for the government. We like family stuff and socialising. In addition I like boating and golf. Annie likes craft and photography.

Guest sneaky Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hi, Paul(35), emma(27) and olivia(16mths) been on the goldcoast for 4 years, living in pacific pines. We have a very good circle of freinds, and are always happy to meet new people. Emma has several mums groups all over the coast which I'm sure would welcome newcomers. I also help run a social golf club if any guys fancy a game. Can also get golfers a game at gainsbrough greens for $25 with cart, if anyones interested. Paul.

My hubby was born out there and his parents were £10 poms!!! he came back when he was 3 but we moved out there in 2006 and came back to UK in 2008 when my daughter was 1 as we really missed the family. Times have moved on and we are planning on coming back as soon as we can save up and sort out our cars (takes 12 months to import) Our daughter is now nearly 4 and we are all keen to make this time work, so getting some good friends is going to help. We will be aiming for Arundel area. If your still about we can arrange an Aussie/Pom get together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomac Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi All, I fell off the radar for a while there, but back now and very keen to meet other mums and make friends! We live in Southport. My daughter is 8, and is at school in Ashmore. Have found it difficult to become friendly with some of the other parents at the school as most school friendships are established earlier on. Also wondering if anyone know of any formal or informal antenatal groups that meet for coffee etc? Give me a shout if anyone is arranging coffee etc...
