toddler/children groups
Hello, we are looking at emigrating and have two young children. If all goes to plan when we get out to aus they will be 2 and 4. At the moment my wife takes them to toddler groups and get togethers where they meet up with similar aged kids and parents. She was wondering if they do similar out there and if anyone as gone over with children of the same age. If you could let us know a bit of what you did with your children (it would put her mind at rest greatly) any information would be of a great help.
Thanks Travis and Helen

Re: toddler/children groups
I go to a playgroup with my daughter - same kind of thing as the UK.
Not sure where in Oz you are going to but when you arrive just go to your loacl community centre and they should be able to point you in the right direction.
Good luck

Have a look at http://www.bubhub.com.au/index.shtml
They have sections and forums for each state, and you may get info you need there.
The Bub Hub is an online, fully searchable, directory of local pregnancy and parenting information

Hello Michelle
We are only just starting out (compiling info for TRA), so we have a long way to go yet. Are you all sorted and just waiting to go or do you still have things to take care of ? Have you been to brisbane and or aus before?

Re: toddler/children groups
Hi!
I am a Brisbane girl heading back after 10 years in the UK with my English husband. We will be returning with a 2 and a bit year old and a newborn. According to Mum, Brisbane is not quite as well set up as here (we are in Tunbridge Wells and could go to various groups all day, everyday if we were so inclined!).
Maybe a business opportunity? I know of a lady who returned to Melbourne and was going to take the franchise of our music class with her.
I am sure there is stuff to do, but possibly not quite such a wide variety....
Not sure that helps!
