Colombians in Melbourne?

Question

My partner from Bogota and I are about to move back to Melbourne. I am very worried that he will not be able to speak Spanish and/or meet any Colombians there. Does anyone know of any Colombian club or indeed even just friendly Colombiano's there ? And yes we are a g*y couple......

Many thanx

There are loads of Colombians and other Latin Americans in Melbourne.  Just go to the Hogar Espanol [Spanish Club] in Johnston St Fitzroy, which caters to the whole Spanish-speaking community. There's a Spanish Fiesta in Johnston St every year, and many dances and other events at the Spanish Club and the nearby bars.

Here are some useful links:
