Default New to Gold Coast

Hi

Just moved here from East Sussex (arrived 3rd October).
OH has been sponsored by Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) to work as a paramedic. I will need to find a job at some point (marketing / graphic design).

we are currently renting in Robina and are looking to settle down somewhere on the Gold Coast.

I have an 11 year old son who I need to settle into a local school.

Look forward to hearing from anyone who lives on the Gold Coast.

Hi Sarah,

Weclome to the Goldie

Have been on the GC for almost a year and couldn't think of a better place to live.

There are many areas to choose from... take a good look around.

We have quite a few meets... in fact there is one this weekend. Take a look over at the meet up section and pop along and say hi!

Have fun,
Mark.

Hi Sarah,

Welcome to the Gold Coast, we have been here nearly 5 months. We are in Pacific Pines, its great here. The best thing you can do is have a good look around before you decide where you want to be, my son is also 11 and is going into year 8 in Jan. Hope you settle in well, any questions give me a shout.!!

Welcome to BE and the Gold Coast, Sarah. Our youngest is 10 and is in Year 5 at Robina Primary - would highly recommend it. There's an Expat P**s Up (sorry Soapy, Meet Up ) this weekend - a good way to meet people, especially new arrivals like yourselves. Michelle x
