Hi my wife an I also in our 40s no kids.been here since nov and meet so great people on poms in adelaide

Drop me a pm if you guys want to catch up. We live in west lakes .. which area area you in!?

Anyone who's interested in meeting up tomorrow night:

A few of us will be at Bank Street Social (BSS) off Hindley St from 5pm (don't worry, we'll be there for a while since a fair few people aren't free until after 6pm).

Would be lovely to meet some new faces.

Also, feel free to bring friends (all poms and non-poms very welcome).

If you've not been to BSS before then I suggest you Google it as it can be a bit covert!!

Look forward to seeing a few of you there!

Sounds great me and my hubby have been here a week and need to speak to others before we kill each other!!!! See you tomorrow

Would be great to join your group, let is know when and where next meeting is and we will be there!!!

Hi we are a 40 something couple with no kids have arrived and staying in port adelaide for next month whilst looking for a rental. Anyone nearby free for a beer/coffee?

Sounds like fun, are you still playing, if so pm me would love to join.

Where is the kings head we love 80's too!!!!

Hi missed your meeting!!! Anyone up for a beer???

Things are going very nicely thank you. So here's wots next... At mo sat drinking wine by the harbour contemplating life's great adventure when the wife so rudely points out THIS IS NOT A HOLIDAY GET A JOB!!..

shes right of course ( always is..) so off it is tomorrow to get my gas licence sorted out and try to get some poor unsuspecting fool to give me a job . ( will have to go back to school to gain full licence though.) ah! I here you shout "wot about a home to live in ". Sorting that too, but just in case I've kept a couple off rather large boxes handy . Heres hoping week two lives up to week one ......... Tbc.

Who said things would be tough! You actually get to talk to a person when making enquiries.!!! Aussie license done, tax code done , Ambo cover done, Medicare sorted all in less than 2hours.. Public transport is great (and good value) beer is cold(not so cheap!), ....

day 3 is going to be house hunting (between coffee breaks with cake!!)

to to be continued.............

So here it is at last ! The long journey has begun, jut reached singapore and waiting for the connecting flight to adelaide. All feels a bit surreal, all those months of planning . I think I'm gonna feel a bit lost for a while . Need another goal to focus on. Will have plenty of time on my hands until I can get a job so if any body needs a hand with things let me know..

Arriving weds morning, would love to meet up with like minded souls.

We went ahead and did them around June, I wasn't worried about eating into the 12 months you have to validate or enter australia as we wanted to go as soon as possible, and I thought it would save time

Congrats on your visa! You'll be arriving the same time as us...

Hi, arriving 10th November you guys still be playing . Will need a good laugh and a few beers !

Hi all,

arriving in November and need to find out how to get my plumbing and gas licence for SA .plus will be looking for work. Currently working as a breakdown engineer in the uk but open to any opportunities...

damn spell checker... cant believe I spelt serious wrong......!

Right all you wise and wonderful people ,

we are arriving in November( bit daft as holiday season just about to kick in!!.) and are looking for short term accommodation for 2-3 weeks whilst we settle in and look for a permanent base , needs to be close to transport links and amenities (ie pub!) whilst we have both just turned forty:arghh: we still think were 21, hence looking for more south of France than magaluff , although magaluff prices would be nice,. Any advice on areas to be or to avoid would be great.

looking forward to meeting for a well deserved cold beer.........

p.s no jokes about being forty.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right all , time to put you all to good use ..

arriving in November, ( bit daft as holidays just about to kick off!)however, looking for a place for 2-3 weeks to enable us to hunt for a permanent base , needs to be close to transport links and to amenities (ie pub!). We have both turned forty:arghh: but still only 21 at heart, so want something more south of France than magaluff. Any advice on areas to be, or avoid would be great, and looking forward to meeting you guys for a well deserved beer.!!!!
