Hi Mandy,
Welcome to Brisbane,how are you finding it so far?

We are living in Narangba just down the road from you.
We have been over here for 4 years now,but 3 of those were in Sydney.Just recently bought a house here so I am also new to the area and on the look out for new friends.

We have 3 children aged 7,3 and 11 months.

Where are you from in England??

I have met a few more fellow poms around the area,maybe we can arrange a meet up one day.

Chat soon

Vicky

Hi Guys,

It seems we are all in the same boat, we are in Dakabin (just down the road) and have been in Qld for 4 and a half years and were in Sydney before that.

Seems that lots of us are at a loose end when it comes to meeting and greeting people especially fellow poms.

We have a nearly 3 year old boy (Feb 08) and a nearly 5 year old girl (April 08).

If you are at a loose end on Saturday (I know its short notice) the wife decided to do the tupperware thing to meet people (shes a new demonstrator). PM me if you want to come along (no hard sell honest), we invited our street just to be on the safe side (not a big street mind you) as we are tired of not knowing anyone anywhere!

Oh well speak soon,

Carl, Kirsten and the little ones

I know these posts were from a while ago now but did a search on Narangba in the Meet Ups section and this is what came up.
Just wondered if there are any meet ups arranged in the near future. We have been over for nearly 3 months now and fed up of not knowing anyone, we would love to make some friends.
We have two kids Boy nearly 3 and Girl 5 1/2.

Hi Mandy and Jofun, it would be good to meet up sometime, we have made it hard to make friends but we are going to the Narangba Tavern tonight with some friends we have made recently.

Let us know if a meet up is arranged ?

Hi
We too are struggling to make some friends. We would be delighted to meet up. We have a young boy of 3 and a half who would benefit from some playmates.
We arrived in North Lakes (that's near Mango Hill) on 10th April 08.
Just give us a quick email when you're ready.. good luck with everything.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Jo and Chris
