We walked around swalding park again but we just couldn't see anything which would suggest british expats.

we were all gutted after making a special trip but nether mind the camp sites nice and were moving up near Newcastle in a few days.
Hi

What a bummer - you must have walked straight past our little group if you saw all the other groups. We thought about a Union flag but decided against it as most of us know someone else in the group. Hopefully we can put this right for you at the next meet but pleased that you have found the caravan park there to be OK. Not a bad spot is it?

Unfortunately, we didn't know that the surfboat comp was on and when the first of us arrived at 12 noon we had great difficulty in finding anywhere near to park up and unload.... and, as you noticed.... there were a few other large groups partying.

I see that Linda and Keith have let you know that they live up near where you intend to go - as do their family - and there are some others not too far away from there, so you will have a few Expat neighbours to put you right on the questions you might have. Just shout, someone will know the answer!

Regards

Jim

Hiya

Thanks for that - yes it was a good afternoon - and all the children also seemed to enjoy it down in the water.

Good to see the old faces again and to meet some new ones.

Have to start thinking about a meet near Christmas next ! Any ideas anyone ?

Jim and Gill

ps Gill took a couple of pics which I will attempt to reduce and get on to here in the near future. Nothing revealing so far as I can remember

Yes thanks Jim for organising it. It was a great location, we will definately visit the beach again, the kids loved it.

Hi All

We are flying out on 16th November, myself,oh and our little girl Lola who is 17 mnths, we are staying at Pearl beach for 1 week and will be looking for rental accomodation at the same time, somewhere between Belmont and Newcastle. I,m dreading being away from family so close to Christmas so a meet would be really really good for us.
If anyone is Moving out of a really nice rental around 26th November, it would be appreaciated if you could let us know, or any good rental companies that people have used.

Thanks
Sarah

Hello Sarah,

You have chosen a lovely area to come to. We live in Charlestown which is between Belmont and Newcastle. Would be pleased to help you settle once you arrive in Oz. As you might have read from a previous post, we moved here in January to be near our family who also live in charlestown - they have a gorgeous son Jack who is nearly 9 months old. If we can help you in any way please contact us. I will send you a PM so that you have a contact number once you arrive in the area. There are quite a few young expat families in this area so you will be fine as they are all so nice and friendly.

Regards

Linda & Keith
