Default new to coolangata / tweed - northern gold coast

Hey all,

Ok so weve been on the gold coast for 3 months now and have finally settled in tweed heads, Im 32 and my better half is 22. We were very social people in the Uk and so far are finding it difficult to meet people here! There are plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance of our Apt as we have Coolangata on our doorstep!!!

ANYONE up for a few beers??????

Paul and Laura

New Year is probably best for us too - just moved house and i'm busy jobhunting so quite frantic at the mo!

we're only here on a working holiday visa but trying to make it a permanent move - more difficult than we first thought!

how are you settling in?
