Re: leaving perth heading for the sunshine coast
I certainly don't miss my family at all. But, because my parents are old (really old), I very often think when the phone rings, it's because of them. I'm lucky that I have a brother who looks after them, otherwise it would be very hard and I perhaps would have to go back more frequently. I feel somehow responsible for their wellbeing. It is not easy.

Re: leaving perth heading for the sunshine coast
I have been just once myself and I was impressed with what I saw eg. everywhere is so clean, the climate is fab, the people are friendly and I know my I could give my 3 kids a better life style. It is isolated but as long as the airport remains in operation I will be happy.

Word.
Most expensive real estate in Australia. Perth's a great place if you're already here, arrived when houses were cheap. If you arrive now and all you can afford is Merriwa or Wanneroo then you are crazy not to be heading east, to QLD.

Dont want to put a dampner on your Perth move but there do seem to be alot of people not overjoyed with living in Perth?
Just out of interest (never been there myself), but why have you chosen the most isolated city on earth to move to? I'm not trying to be antagonisitc but curious?

This question has been asked and answered thousands of times, those of us that are here and enjoy it are getting a bit fed up with the repetiveness (sp) of these threads, as they alway end up as a Perth is boring/isolated/shit thread!!

Its great loads of people love it there - by posing questions and getting answers like NB's though it can help someone gauge a bit more if the place is the right choice for them

It's bad enough leaving your job, friends, family to come to Oz from the UK. We didn't want to have to do it all over again just as we were getting settled in Perth.

Re: leaving perth heading for the sunshine coast
OK, we nearly did. We visited the Sunshine coast over Christmas with a view to a potential move. We loved Noosa, Tewantin, Eumundi and would have moved there in a flash if we had not already moved to Perth 4 years earlier.

Eumundi is a nice spot though isnt it.
