    Hi Virgo,

    I understand how you feel. I am fairly new to Canberra, having moved here from Sydney with hubbys work and am still finding it difficult to make friends and enjoy Canberra.

    With my first child due in April, I would love to meet some new friends/mothers, as being a new mother and having no support in Canberra, with my family and close friends in Sydney is quite daunting!

    Although I live on the Northside, I am happy to travel to Southside as everywhere in Canberra is fairly close.

    Please let me know if anyone is organising a meet soon, I would love to be there.

    I am on mat leave from March, so Virgo when you arrive if you need any help or would like to meet up, please let me know

    Hi Can I join in???

    I live on the northside. And I would love to meet up with others. I am not new to Canberra anymore (I have been here 3yrs) But I don't really know many people. I have a 3yr old and a 1yr old and one one the way. I can meet up on whichever side of town suits everyone else, but I don't drive so it would need to be located somewhere centrally so I can catch the bus

    Hi Everyone

    Wow there are a few of us now wanting to meet...i'm with you sweetpea i think it is nearly time for a meet too. Probably once all the kids start back at school.
    What days best suit everyone and where abouts does everyone want to meet northside or southside or maybe in the middle?/
    Hope everyone is coping in this ridiculous heat...............keep yourselves cool

    my vote is to meet on the northside or centrally but I am willing to go southside if thats what is decided. Where would people be willing to meet: cafe? park? any other ideas?

    My vote is northside-ish!
    I have only been to Westfield Belconnen so I'll get lost whereever we meet up.
    I can probably only do weekends for the moment as I don't drive, but i can miss the first few and meet you all later down the track!

    Hi Everyone

    I have a 2 month year old old. I live in Weston Creek but I am happy to travel to the north side. Like Tricky I have been in Canberra for 5 years and my friends are work related so I'm looking to make friends outside work. I'm 28 and also originally from Perth. is there still space for one more to join?
