Meet ups
Hi Everyone
If there are any meet ups in the Albury.Lavington.Wodonga, area we would love to hear when and where.
Emmigrated from Scotland 6 weeks ago and and have settled really well but have to admit are struggling a little bit because we miss hearing our own accent.
Love Australia but need to speak to people in the same boat as us.
Fingers crossed.

Re: Meet ups
Sorry for the delay in responding to this thread, I've only just come across it.
We've been in the Albury/Wodonga region for about 18 months and we're enjoying it. We struggled a bit with homesickness early on, mainly me missing my mates. I love bumping into other Brits and there are a surprising amount in the region.
We went to an expat night about six months ago in Sodens, a pub in Albury. It wasn't very well advertised and only about ten of us rocked up. It was a good night though, the owner put on Shepherds Pie and cheese and pickles on sticks. It was going to be a monthly thing but that hasn't eventuated as yet, but keep your eye on the Border Mail for an advert for it.
Meantime if you fancy a get together let us know. We live in Wodonga with our two young daughters and enjoy a good social whenever we can.
Cheers,
Craig.

Re: Meet ups
We are just down the road in Eldorado (just north of Wangaratta) and until December I was working at Xavier High School in North Albury. I am working in Wangaratta this year but would love to meet up some time as I am often in the area visiting friends. We have been here for just over 3 years now and there are quite a few expats in the general area.
