Coming to live in Alice Springs

[katiesuzarthur]

Hi everyone im Katie at present im living in England and me and my family are coming to live over there in Febuary/March time and im wanting to make new friends. I have a 4 year old son and a 6 month old daughter we enjoy going out and about with friends.

Wondering if anyone could help me find baby groups to go to? and what the schools are like? when we finally get over there be great to meet some new friends as over here im always meeting my friends and letting the kiddies have a play.

So much for me to find out and thought this would be a good place to start and to come on here and say hello to everyone

I just moved from Alice after being there most of my life so I know a thing or two. There are a couple of facebook groups you might want to join (Alice springs community open forum would be one to look at). Feel free to pm me.

Haha, the open forum is very entertaining and perhaps more suited to the more seasoned veteran of Alice with a strong opinion regarding the running of the town There are plenty of playgroups you can attend and ways to meet other mums, feel free to PM me also, I just met a mum from Newcastle the other day that was lovely
