There are so many wonderful things for parents and kids to do in Canberra. Feeding the swans at Lake Burley Griffin, a trip to the movies, exploring Questacon, the Botanic Gardens... The list just goes on and on! This group would be a great opportunity to build friendships (for both parents and the kids) and to get out and explore all the great kid-friendly activities together!

Theres no meet ups here in Canberra for D&D, we have mindgames in the city but out of all my nerdy friends and people I know theres no D&D group I can find to join, so I'll be the first to start. I'm more than happy to supply the venue and food and do all the hard work, except I really don't want to be a DM :( so if some one else wants to step up that would be great.

This is a group for overseas (and interstate!) migrants--both recent and old timers. Let's organise social events, BBQ's, movies, lunches, dinners or anything else anyone might suggest. This may also serve as a support group for some. I would just like to point out that this group is for all new Canberra migrants, whether you are from interstate or overseas.

Hi, I arrived from the UK 5 months ago and was surprised to find NO ex-pat community in Canberra! So here we go! I have traveled to Hong Kong and Singapore seeing how much fun us Brits can have as part of an ex-pat lifestyle and frankly have felt a little left out being here in Canberra. I am hoping we can change that! My husband and I have 2 young boys age 2 and 4 but also enjoy a social life of our own. If your interested in getting together for a few drinks or maybe even the Lions Tour please …

I started this group because I wanted to meet women who were in a similar situation to me. Women who through no fault of their own have found themselves isolated, lonely and bored.  I have no family in Canberra and a son who is now well on the way to being independent.  That frees me up for much more time to have fun and new experiences. The purpose of Sisterhood is to develop strong supportive networks/friendships between women who are more like family or sisters by connecting through regular o …

I'm starting this group because I want to improve my fitness and make some new friends. Exercising in a group is more fun and more motivation to continue (which I need!). It's difficult to find time to exercise without my baby around so thought it would be great to get a few people together who are keen to go for a jog (with or without children/stroller) or do some exercises in the park together. It will be a very casual and relaxed group welcoming beginners like me! Perhaps we could have a litt …
