Steve and Paula Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hi there, We have been in Perth since Aug 12th and have just secured a rental in Port Kennedy. What a process that was!! Our sea container was supposed to arrive yesterday but was re-routed to Melbourne so we're looking at another 2 - 3 weeks before finally settling in our own place with our own furniture again. Just wanted to see if there were any families in the Port Kennedy area looking to meet up and get the kids together? We have a 5 year old son and two year old daughter. Unfortunately there is a waiting list for kindy so it looks like my son has to wait until Feb to start pre-primary. I am hoping to find someone with kids similar age to help keep him from going completely bored! Hope to hear from someone so I can start meeting people and get to feeling like this just isn't a long vacation we're on. Thanks, Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest garyheidi7 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hi Paula, Kate, and the waltons, I would love to meet up one morning for coffee or trip to the park, I live in baldivis, have been here since July, so would like to start meeting some other mums, just me and my 4 year old boy while the others are in school. hope to hear from you soon Heidi (36) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve and Paula Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hi The Waltons, Kate and Heidi, Thanks for your replies! Glad to know we're not the only ones looking for friends. The kids and I could drive down one morning next week (not Tuesday) for a playdate in a park somewhere. We're coming from South Perth so since most of you are in Baldivis can you recommend a park there? Obviously we'll have to pick a day the weather looks good for this. Send me a private message with your email or mobile #'s and then I'll send you mine. Talk soon. paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest patsyf Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hello All We are in Baldivis Central and been here since June. I have a 5 year old daughter and 2 year old little boy. Those first few months are a bit crazy but things are settling down now - just our dog is in quarantine so once he is with us, we will be all together. I would like to meet up too...so let us know if anything is planned. We are always looking round for new playgrounds...I know a few in baldivis but always on the lookout for the 'perfect playground'!! patsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve and Paula Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi Kelly,We have been in Port kennedy for 6 weeks now I guess and we love it! It's quiet, not so crazy busy like in Perth, gorgeous beaches, great parks, school, etc. Is there anything specific you would like to know about? Send me a pm and we can chat. Has your husband accepted the job offer and if so, when are you coming over? Congrats on the upcoming special arrival!Hope to hear from you soon.Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kelly Calrke 7 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 HI Paula Thanks for getting back to me. Dont really want to know anything specific, just want to make sure kids are gonna be happy. My husband has accepted the job in port kennedy, and we have to be there before the end of Jan. We are looking to make the move first week of Jan though, if all goes to plan. We have been in Brisbane now for +-6 months and have not really enjoyed it or made many friends. Could not even find a play group in the area for kids, so really happy I found this site. Not sure how to PM you but will try figure this site out.

The Playgroup was great and I've since gotten together with a woman I met there and her two young boys. Seems like a nice group of women with kids ranging from only a few months to school age. Definitely stay in touch. Have you found a rental or will you wait until arriving? I assume it would be much easier to do once you're here. looking forward to meeting in the new year.

phoenixroxy Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hi Paula, I hope you dont mind me asking what playgroup's there are to go to around port kennedy area? I have arrived from scotland 5weeks ago and have been trying to find some to take my 2 kids. (aged 3 and 18months) I have been taking them to Chipmunks but would like to find something that's smaller for them to get to meet other kids and for me to chat to other mums:-) Thanks Ruth:wubclub: Hi Kelly,hope you had a great Christmas!
