1 week in Manly....
Well after a crazy last week getting everything sorted in the UK - I am here. Have moved into a furnished flat in Manly - and have started surfing lessons!!! (seems to be harder than I remeber from my student weekends away in Newquay).
Anyway - I have a few questions - any suggestions on the best way to get out there and meet people? - will look at joining a diving club - but any suggestions will be good. Also my boyfriend want s to find a soccer team - anyone know of any in the area? |

We are coming to stay in Manly for a couple of weeks in March whilst we are over validating visas and having a look round. There is another thread going about some expats in Sydney looking to meet up in early March - you could check that out. If its Aussies you want to meet, I'm no help !!;) |
Bloody Northern Beaches Surfer.:)
I might consider hanging over that Harbour Bridge if you don't mind a Bondi paddle out. |

(apologies scamp, I really cant help with your question, I just talk alot :) ) When was the last time you were down this way ? It's changed a bit in the last three years. Maybe I should start a new thread on Victora Point, rather than hijack this one :D |

Maybe I should start a new thread on Victora Point, rather than hijack this one :D Real estate & suburb threads - Im in :) |

If its Aussies you want to meet, I'm no help !!;) sjn2003 - in answer - the beach is fab - there is some good snorkling and swimming at the south part, good waves for surfing - (well thats what I was told - my surfing is poor - and I prefer little waves). Manly is lovely - and it is so quick to get into the city. Would definitle recomend it for a holiday. |
