sorry to butt onto your thread ( seems friendly), moving to Canberra hopefully in time for christmas, with oh and 2 kids who'll be 3 and 5 by that time(one of each). It would be great to make friends with those in a similar situation. Thanks

Only prob with us for an adult one is that we have just arrived and have 3 kids. It might be a bit soon to start locking them in the cupboard.

Hubby could just come though.

All the dates in july are good for us.

sasbear

Well why don't we just ahve a good old BBQ (bit nippy I know) and meet at someone's house - kids welcome - maybe just a Saturday afternoon meet?

Let me know what you all think?

Saturday afternoons is no good for me im either working or got football.

I rather personally go to a pub get drunk and make lots of noise.......that way were forced to drink stair at each other and talk, BBQ's end up like small groups of people talking about how good the local schools are.

I will get a slap for writing this lol

sasbear

lol consider yourself well and truly slapped

What about a compromise then - maybe a quick hour or two at the george harcourt - tables and warmer outside and if we go on a Saturday about 5ish not too late for the little ones?

pomref

Earliest i can do on a sat in winter time is 7pm unless. If you go down the BBQ route then a sunday afternoon would be much better.

The football matches normal finish about 5pm and if i got a game on the southside i dont normally get in till 6pm. simular if im on a day shift at work

Best bet see what people want, and can do. Then work around it, the way things are going it proble be a Christmas do lol in December.

sasbear

Lol - OK

Hey maybe wait till Jan when Turtletom back for a visit???

Wow, I cant believe it. All these people coming to Canberra.

Greetings from Sungold - I think I was one of the first to post on here about Canberra and when I did I got very few replies - but that was two years ago. check out some of my old threads if you are interested.

Havent been on the forum for a while (understatement of the year) and its taken me a while to remember my password!

I arrived in March 2005 and have kept in touch with a couple of people who I met on this site. Got to say thanks to the person who invented it as it helps so many people although you read a lot of horror stories of things that went wrong!

I also live on thenorthside in Nicholls - not far from the George so I might see some of you there.

Got to say life in canberra is fine, a bit dry for the last two years but very sunny and after having driven in Sydney I think I made a good choice coming here! Been too busy with work to see much of Oz but that is happening slowly and I will be off with the family to warmer climes for teh school holidays doing a bit of reef and tropical jungle exploring.

Look foward to some more discussion about Oz lifestyles on this forum but got to go now.

Just for interest how many people have come to Canberra over the past two years and what are they all doing?
