VGINOZ Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi All, I am new to area and married to a FIFO worker, so am in need of female friends for socialising whether it is for coffee or something more alcoholic. It would be nice to find a few people to meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommiemike Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi VGINOZ, I'm not female so can't really help you with the girl friends thing, but I have been living in Shoalwater for about 6 months, so if you need any help with local services, places to go etc, just holler. I know how hard it can be moving to a new area where you don't know anyone! cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGINOZ Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks Mike, just getting ourselves sorted here. How are you settling in ? Any good pubs/nightlife in Shoalwater ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommiemike Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Erm...no. It's very quiet! There is the George & Dragon pub at Shoalwater shopping centre on Safety Bay Rd, which is ok but just a local boozer. You'll stand out by wearing shoes and anything that isn't hi-vis. If it's quality nightlife you are after, the Safety Bay area ain't the place :-) There are a couple of good cafes though. The Bodrum Bay Turkish cafe facing Safety Bay shopping centre does good breakfasts, including an excellent spicy Turkish brekky that is pretty addictive. Also, the Boat Ramp cafe on Safety Bay Rd does good breakfasts and coffee, and it is right facing the ocean. Zocalo Mexican restaurant a couple of doors up from Bodrum Bay cafe does very good TexMex food, but it's a bit lacking in atmosphere. Rocko has a couple of decent restaurants on the strip facing the beach, but even the nightlife in Rocko is nothing to write home about. Unless you want to head to Zelda's :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGINOZ Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks Mike, I'll check out the cafes for my brekkie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roby Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 HI vginoz, I saw your message and thought I would give you a quick message. I am not actually from England but lived there and did all my high schooling there many years ago. I live in Safety Bay and my partner is also FiFo so I understand where you are coming from. I do work also. It can be difficult to meet people, I have friends through work but none live near me. Like you said, sharing a coffee or even a wine would be good..

VGINOZ Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hi Roby, I would love to meet up. I am 43 and have only been in the area for 5 weeks so to have someone other than my son and dog to talk to would be great. As you are working let me know what day suits you and we can meet for a drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roby Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks for your response. I was pretty excited to see that you are 43, I am a young 51. Was a bit concerned you would be a 22 yr old. Not that I have anything against 22 yr olds, I was one once, but maybe not so much in common! I work 5 days a week but my hours change all the time and some days finish early, some start late so we can work something out for sure. I too have a son however he lives over east. I also have a few dogs, a cat, too many birds and fish....as you can see I too need some people company!!! So how do we organise a meet up? Not sure where you are? Looking forward to your response..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGINOZ Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hi Roby, I live in Safety Bay just a short walk from Rockngham Shopping Centre. So if you want to meet up let me know a day and time and then we can meet. I am open for ideas as to where to meet, whether you prefer a coffee or wine.

Roby Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Do you know the boat ramp café at Safety Bay? I finish work at about 2 tomorrow afternoon (Tues) so I could meet you then, quick coffee and a hello. Otherwise maybe sometime fri? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisforsey Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hi, My wife has asked me to reply to this thread as she will be looking to meet new friends when we arrive in Perth on 1st January. We are initially staying in Rockingham and we are both 43. She is a very sociable person and can't wait to meet some new friends. Let me know if you'd like her contact details Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGINOZ Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hi Chris, ask your wife to send me a pm with her details or to wait until she arrives and send me another message and we can arrange a meet up. It's always nice to meet new friends. Where are you travelling from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
