Hello! Just wanted to say hi, Im hoping to move from Adelaide to Sydney as soon as I can (as soon as I get a job there) and keen to make contacts. Its been hard being a loner in Adelaide, but I think its going to be much better in Sydney.

I recently went to Thursday drinks when visiting Sydney and Ill be taking advantage of those as soon as I get back. Also love live music, pubs anything really.

Hope the blokes are better in Sydney wouldn't be hard mind, they are awful here....(not that thats my main motivation!) anyway, enough wittering on!

Good luck to all adventurous loners!

Hi there! I actually arrived in Australia three years ago on the 14th Dec! But i had to stay in Adelaide for 2 years and then apply for PR (495 visa - crap but does the job!) So now I have PR and am looking to spread my wings. Ive always loved Sydney, and I came for a visit and finally made my mind up.

So Ive started to apply fro jobs, and Ill be there in the new year, since I got back to Adelaide Ive been so unsettled I really am the only loner in the village here!

Still onwards and upwards!! see you all soon, have a bev for me Thursday!
