Hi Ruby. I don't know Townsville all that well as we moved here in December so I can't help there unfortunately. We will definitely have to organise a meet when you arrive!
Ruby,
It really depends on what 'streets' to avoid, generally all suburbs are ok bar some streets in Vincent, Rassmussen & Kelso are a bit dodgy. But you'll be able to tell when you get here. We live in Kirwan and it's pretty ok. I think you take a chance anywhere in this day and age. Do you have a dog? (Big, furious, drooling?) lol.
Will def have to organise a big 'yummy-mummy's doin' the park' meet up when you arrive!
CourtRAch -any movement at the station??
Ruby - I went the other way. After living in Townsville for very close to 20 years I moved to Cloncurry when my partner got a job out here.
As MissWingBat said - its more the streets in certain suburbs that you need to avoid. And certain parts of certain suburbs are a bit scarier than others! I do agree about Kelso and Rasmussen and some certain streets in Vincent but also some streets in Heatley are good to avoid. Some suburbs are much pricier than others and I really can't see justification in some of them. But - have fun and enjoy Townsville.

MissWingBat, still no movement other than using me as a climbing frame. Have a hospital appointment on the 14th so hopefully will get an induction date as I am so over it and this little one is not coming of its own accord. Just like his/her big brother!!
BIG HEEELLLOOOOOO to everyone i have not been on here pretty much since i joined bit about myself i am 24 married to an army man we have 2 beautiful boys Lachlan Nicholas 20mths and Lucas Paul 5mths...im a SAHM and love every minute of it sometimes go crazy though...
I live in Kirwan love it...we use to live here way back in early 2000's HAHA can say that now and we got posted out of here back to our home town Perth WA, and well as you may guess we are back in TSV and have been since Jan this year.
My Master L goes to daycare mon and tues, so generally just me and master l (confussed yet..i am...) i am up for anything so long as i get out and about. I am thinking of attending a Geckos playgroup to check that out so if any of you defence mums have been advice would be lovely, like is it worth it etc...
Anyway will be on here more often for catch ups etc...BYE xxx
How are you feeling courtney??? The last few weeks drag on dont they??? But before you know it bubs will be here!!!
We live in Hermit Park..I really like the old houses and because its close to everything but its not cheap to rent or buy here. Stairs are always an issue with Zander so we have to be carefull.
Wyatt has a cold now so its not helping his sleep situation..I have been sleeping with him in the spare room. I have a phone interview with ellen barron centre on friday so I will find out whats going to happen.
Hello hello HELLOOOO to newbies & oldies & in betweeners (me?)
CourtRach - BABY???????????? Happening yet?? My bubbas went 2 weeks over so erg!!!!
IS anyone up for a meet this Friday morning? Or would you like to get to know me a bit better...
I'm 28, SAHM, bit crazy (just loopy and excited like a puppy somedays), I love to paint, love to read, (don't get to do alot of either activity with kids), I have brown-ish hair, I'm a Scorpio (passionate, loyal, vivacious), GSOH (really, really kooky humour - I'lll laugh at anything!) I like long walks on the beach... he he. Sounds like a singles ad!
It is just so hard to make friends when you have kids. I see other mums in shopping centres with kids my kids age, and I feel like walking up to them - but what do you say? It's not like at school. I tried Mothers Group years ago, but I was very young and impressionable, and I really felt my self esteem as a mother took a bit of a beating. But now I have learnt that I AM who I am, everyone raises their children differently, all children are different, and that is ok.
It is just so easy to slip into a bit of a rut as a SAHM - as in literally, STAY AT HOME. I should be aiming for "Getting Out and About and Making Friends, & At Home Legend Lady".
I would like to take a gander at Lollipops, haven't been there yet and my little man is busting his gut to RUN RUN RUN JUMP SCREAM RAAAA!! My ma normally drops in Friday mornings, but she's away for 2 weeks so I am up a certain creek... without a paddle... I would love love love to get out on Friday.
I have to get going and clear up the yard, we got a new, very naughty puppy... ERg... ("But he is SOOOO CUTE!! He is soooo cute he just won't chew up a thing!")
Hope all u ladies have a great day and a laugh at my singles ad...
