Re: gold coast meet up
Hi
Have you joined on facebook expats on the gold coast there's a meet up
We are in need of a good old get together as my family and I missed the last one! So I thought it time to sort something out. For those who don't know the area it is right next to The Grand Hotel, Labrador Beach/Park If you don't fancy a sausage there is a lovely Fish n Chip shop there too. Play park for the smaller children, a small beach and Pelican feeding at about 1pm. Hope to see you all there.

We moved here 7 months ago from Melbourne, been in Oz 3 years. We live near clear island waters, I am into electronics & wifes a nurse, we have 2 daughters 7 & 9, its definatley a bit more difficult to meet families here on the GC than in Vic, which part of UK were you from?
Cheers

Thanks for the reply, I used to work in Tewkesbury near gloucester. Schools is a long story, allthough the school the girls went to in Victoria was right up there, our two definately took a pace or two backwards. On the GC our two started at what appeared to be a good school, but was not a great experience for our older daughter. So we took the older one out & put her in a different school where she is much happier, we are awaiting a place at the same school for the younger one. So seperate schools & a 45 minute school run at the moment, but happy to say both are thriving.
How old is your daughter? & do you have any other kids?
How long have you been over here? A get together would be great, where abouts do you live?
