Have just retired to Australia from the UK and would like to know if there are any Geordies on the Gold Coast

dont know about the gold coast but there are heaps of us in cairns. theres even a couple of makems. even used to be an 11 aside team called the toon army.

Hi,

We are not quite 'Geordies' as we are from Durham and our son was born in Sunderland just to rub it in. We are up on the North side of Brisbane not the Gold Coast.

hi everyone,

derek is a makem , i am irish, we live in birkdale in brisbane.

So you are fine for curry then... .

yes defo, our local indian is great as some of you might know we go their most weekends.

(some of you might not know, it is catered for the english palate and run by a fantastic brummie guy!! derek says it is the best he has tasted anywhere!)

Yes we do like a bit of Birkdale British Indian when we can get down... . Never mind the real indian stuff prefer the British import.

Not so many of us south of Cairns it seems, at least the humour is still there Will try the curry shop out

hi from helen and andrew. we just landed on 17th january and are living at coolum beach, sunhine coast. we have come from county durham-actually chester-le-street. husband likes to class us macems as staunch sunderland supporter. just got computer sorted, browsing thought i wud say hi. helen

It's a proper sit down one and has bands on sometimes.

Well Durham is better than Newcastle and we support SAFC as well really but thought we shouldn't say it as too many Geordies on here however, seen as they will now pick on you I'll 2nd that.

well if you are going to get territorial

Toon army

Hi

we live at Pacific pines and my husband was brought up in the North east and can revert to the geordie lingo when needed. So if you need a chat in Geordie he's your man!! He supports the Toon Army too.

Where abouts are you on the gold coast?

Tracy and Mark

We really just support in a casual way from afar although my Brother and Father or die hard fans. I like to watch the English Rugby Union just as much and they lose as much as Sunderland... .
