Hi. Hope it’s all going well and you’re settling in. ?

Hi - I'm 34 and moved here three years ago. I've met some great people but not really found any women with similar interests to do the usual stuff with. Would be keen to come along to any meet ups that are happening.

we live inbetween Grange and Henley and its lovely. we rent a two bedroom townhouse with small back yard for $540 a fortnight so you should find somewhere within your budget :-) good luck

Hey. Ive been here just over a year and too have struggled to meet people. Im from Nottingham and would be up for abgroup meet up sometime ;-)

Hiya - that story sounds familiar. I'm not entirely sure how it works on here, are their social do's you can link into?

Hi Im looking for a sociable sports or recreation club (im thinkin netball, bowling or similar) that is happy to take beginners. Not looking anything too full on... Just somewhere to get fitter and make some new friends Any recommendations appreciated =)

I'm Lucy, 31 and have been in Adelaide for 2 weeks now from Nottingham. Living at West Lakes, working in the city which im loving but missing female company over a glass of wine/coffee etc. Missing my friends back home and as i don't have kids am not sure how im going to make new friends and despite this feeling a bit like a 'dating site desperate plea' thought it may actually be a good way to meet new people. Im pretty normal - love a good gossip over a few glasses of white wine although i think my wild nights on the town days are probably over. message me if you fancy a coffee/wine x

Hiya The Dept of Correctional Services provides similar services to probation. They provide a wide range of services in the criminal justice system including custodial/prison services, community correctional services and programs. The best place to look is the correctional services (SA) website but you may want to look at a prison officer role as well as probation as i believe theyve been recently recruiting. Ive just started with the dept and love it - well worth the move. Good Luck :-)

Thank you for taking the time to send such a long and thoughtful message. I think part of the reason im struggling was that my heart has never been in the move. My other half is Australian and although he certainly hasnt forced me here or anything but he wanted to move as he had no job security over in the UK whereas i wasnt that long into a promotion id worked really hard to get. Im going to give it a good shot but I feel bereft and im struggling to remain positive which is completely unlike me normally. I'm going to try and use this site for advice/pick me ups/reassurance - thanks again for your thread :-) x

wow - i didn't expect such a response. Thank you - that genuinely helps. Some really good ideas but mostly its nice to hear other people have felt the same thing. Thanks guys. xxxxxxxx

I moved to Adelaide a week ago from the UK with my fiance who is originally from here. On paper it looks great, we both have good jobs where as in the UK he was recently made redundant but im incredibly homesick after only a week and am really worried this is how its going to be long term. I miss my family terribly and feel like a fish out of water. Would be nice to hear some reassurance that this is normal as at the minute im starting to think ive made a huge mistake. Any advice/thoughts/personal experiences gratefully received.
