I should try and get around to spending more time interacting on this forum, I joined some time ago but have been a bit lost in my own world for a few months.

I live in Northern NSW, couple of hours south of the border, about 5 hours from Brisbane, maybe a bit less time now they have done a few upgrades on the pacific highway I gues, furthest north I've been for a couple of years now is the gold coast, I've been a bit of a hermit.

Point is, I'm about ready to come out of my shell again and feel the need to step outside and "find the others".

So even though it's quite a drive, I am seriously considering making the effort and coming to this Brisbane meeting (which is now tomorrow - so I am totally acting on last minute impulse.

My partner and I walked away from the corporate mainstream culture a few years ago and have been focused on surviving with our own food growing and participating in the capitalist system as little as is possible when you have a teenage daughter in high school (now TAFE) and 4 cats to feed :)

I left the building industry and just sort of dropped out and have been slowly eroding my savings as I expanded my consciousness and my partner is a primary school teacher and is the driving force behind our veggie garden.

way too much to explain here and now but I guess what I am doing is reaching out to the local (ish) community for some social contact with like minded people.

Would we be welcome to just turn up at the Brisbane get together ? (even if we don't make it tomorrow it would be good to plan on making it next month).

Are there any meetups or community events that happen in NNSW ?

Is it TODAY??? My partner and I are keen - I thought it was next weekend!!? If it's today than I'll be super bummed (besides don't want to make first impressions while in the middle of benzo withdrawals) :(

Have ensured next weekend is totally clear for a meet!

Argh, sorry if I got confused with the dates and missed the meet - hoping it's next weekend and just my fubar brain misreading the posts.

Next weekend: Be there with bells on! :lol:

i really want to make sure the ball gets rolling with these brisbane get-togethers. today my trailer connection and trailer lights thwarted me, spent half the day fixing the prick (i recommend you not buy these from super cheap auto).

hope it went well and, once again, if anybody wants to see a meet at the gold coast or whatever, it's really as simple as posting a time and location.

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the last meet - was great to reconnect again.

Bigred - Thanks for helping me start the car. It turned out that my alternator was almost dead at that point, so I didn't get to far!

I should be free for the next meet and I'll try to bring some homemade haloumi. I'll also put an offer out for anybody needing a lift on the east side of Brisbane

Sorry again for the late bail last time guys. That's a VERY rare occurrence for me. I'm organizing to get the 14th off tomorrow - no letting fatigue or such nonsense stop me this time..just had a holiday too, so won't be a problem!

Should have plenty of time to get some goodies together for pass-arounds B)
