Friends in Brisbane (late 30's early 40's)

Recommended Posts

Hi there, we have been here since January 08, living in the Teneriffe - New Farm area, (loving it here) (4kms from city) - we have our South African friends who we knew years before arriving here (they have been here for 2 and 3 years)

but would love to meet more people close'ish to our area, I think my husband is missing a "buddy" to run or cycle with.. and I would love girlie chatter..

We are 40 and 43, like having fun - I have an 18 year old daughter but not living with us as she is studying in Perth..

Let's see where this posting takes us..

Hi Steve&Dee

I am 37 and my Aussie hubby is 46. We live near Samford on the North side though. But you are welcome to PM me for a gettogether. I don't know about the 2 wheels with pedals, but he does do motocross for fun. His brother though is into the engineless 2 wheel thing, and also in his late forties and a real scream.

Take care

Steph

Hi Nilo

Wel from what I gather you can organise a party in a hail storm, so it sounds just great.

Hi Steph

Great to hear from you, how far is Samford from Bris City, our SA friends are in Eatons Hill.. anywhere close?

Thanks so much for the chatter, I like Nilo's comment too.. I have an idea maybe in a few weeks after these two publice holidays we can meet for a picnic at New Farm park on a Sunday lets say, its lovely with river views... what do you think of that idea

regards

Hi steve&dee

Samford is just past Ferny Grove, so not to far out of town. Your idea sounds great, wil have to you guys know which Sundays I am available, would hate to miss out. I work most weekends, but will take off for this, won't miss it for the world.

There are many South Africans in Samford, but they are on a mission of there own, so I just don't bother. Look forward to just talking nonsense for a bit and just enjoying some good company for a change.

If you want contact numbers for me, just PM me, and I will make them available no problem.

Hi

Picnic at Newfarm Park sounds great! When we arrived in Jan we stayed in temp accomodation in Newstead and I loved Newfarm.

We now live on the SouthWest, in Forest Lake.

Said to hubby, only the other day, "it is time for a citycat ride again, maybe in the evening?"

Hi Dee,

Think I may have messed up a few replies. Anyway, Ã have just turned 40 and Will is 43. I would love some "girlie"" chats and I know Will would certainly enjoy some male company, plus we're also into the running thing. We live in Kangaroo Point just around the corner from you. Get together 18/5 sounds great, we'll be there!

Cheers

Celeste
