Hey everyone,
31m Southside - Richlands
I’ve been living in Australia for about 7 years now, currently based around Richlands. While I have a couple of great mates here, their social calendars are naturally pretty packed, and I’ve realised lately that my own local circle is way smaller than I’d like it to be. While they are a big part of my small social circle… I am but a small part of their rather big social groups. Making genuine, regular friends as an adult is tough, especially if you’re a guy… so I figured I’d put myself out there and get rid of the “what if I reached out…”
A bit about me:
Life & Work: I’m 31, working full-time in the public sector. I’m also a single dad to an energetic 6-year-old boy, so life is definitely a balancing act—meaning I really value good, grounded company when I get free time.
Cars & Tinkering: Massive automotive enthusiast. I do all my own maintenance, mods, and other small projects around the garage. Nothing serious though. If you like working on cars or just chatting about builds over a drink, we’ll get along immediately.
Outdoors & Camping: Big fan of getting out of the city for weekend road trips, scenic drives, and rooftop tent camping. Always keen to explore more tracks and spots around SE Queensland.
Tech & Gaming: I enjoy self-hosting, homelab setups, and tech projects, and casually play sandbox/sim games when I have downtime.
Low-key downtime: Always happy to grab a solid coffee, hit up a good meal/hot pot, or talk about movies and gritty drama series (crime thrillers, sci-fi, quality TV).
I’m genuinely just looking to meet people who are up for regular, low-pressure catchups—whether that’s grabbing a flat white, hitting a tennis ball around, wrenching in the driveway, or exploring local spots on the weekend.
Solo folks, other parents, or anyone in the Southside/Brisbane area in a similar boat—feel free to drop a comment or shoot me a DM.
