It's ssooo long since I have been on here and wonder if anyone remembers me ?

I arrived in Melbourne on August 5th 2007, so have just passed my 2 year anniversary and thought I'd stop by and say hello .

Does anyone else miss there friends like I do ? All through my walks through life I have easily made friends, i.e. at school, when the kids were young, through work etc, but since i arrived I have not made any friends, and I am finding this very hard indeed to come to terms with .

This is a personnal thing i know but I dont find people as friendly as in the UK.

Luckily i found a job almost as soon as I arrived here, but I did not seem to click with anyone, and now I have resigned due to various issues, so I am now at home but hope to start looking for another job soon.
I have a fantastic husband and would not go back to the UK, my lifestyle is so much better, I am actually living and not just existing anymore, the weather is a big plus, and the food, so many advantages, just the friend side of things, so I am just wondering whether anyone else has felt the same as me ?

where are you in Melbourne? If you are nearby and fancy a coffee then let me know. I have a large network of friends here and we meet up reasonably often and you are more than welcome to join us.

I remember you!!! Have to agree making friends, good friends, has to be one of the hardest things involved in migrating, got there in the end though and you will too X

Yep, it's hard to make good female friends here. I'm here 5 years and hve no good aussie female friends. But tons of Irish, American, Canadian. Aussie women are a bit...empty or something.

So just make your friends outside of that pool.
