mrspotatohead Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 We are 27 & 24 (OH Scottish, I was raised in Aus but born in Scotland). We have a 2 year old son, who is very energetic! After living in Scotland for 5 years, we have finally moved back (100 Partner Visa). Given that I'm originally from Sydney, the only people we know up here are family, so we desperately need a new circle of friends! Happy to organise a group bbq or simply a meet up for coffee.

mrspotatohead Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hi mrspotatohead! We are off to the sunshine coast in april! Where abouts in the sunshine coast are you based ?We are starting in Maroochydore but not sure where we will end up due to where the work is! How is it up there compared to Sydney ? Quiet i bet! We are about 10 minutes from Maroochydore. It is very quiet, but in a good way. The traffic is pretty much non existent compared to sydney! Good luck with the big move. Are you bringing your things with you or travelling light (ha...5 bags and a toddler so sort of light) like us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
