G'day, Ooroo and all that Jazz.

We got here mid Apr 09 and stayed in a lovely place called Kings Cross in Sydney for 3 weeks (yea - I know) until I took a tantrum and said that if my hubby didnt get me outta there I was going home! so he made good and brought me to a little piece of heaven called "Port Stephens". Totally gorgeous area.

I haven't seen any meet ups for this area and was wondering if anyone wants to meet.

I dont know how it all goes as I am new to this meet up thing.

Hope to hear from some of you lucky expats soon

well i dont think port stephens is too far from me so please keep me posted!

Cole77

I will defo keep you posted. Maybe Newcastle will be a better place to meet as it is a wee bit better known? what do you think? by the way I work in East Maitland - just round the corner from you!

Will try and see if there is anyone else interested and we'll set a meeting place and date.

Hi Cole

Me and my hubby have just moved to Port Stephens also and would be interested in a meet up if you arranging one. I am also new to this forum, so not sure how this all works...... have been looking for some meet ups but couldn't find any in this area either. Newcastle or Port Stephens suits us as well.
