Looking at Paradise Point/Pacific Pines and surrounding areas to move to - flying in on 30th Sept for 2 weeks (minus kids!) to confirm school for boys and house.. although cant make the final journey until January

If anyone is interested in a meet up ..please let me know as would be greatfully received for when we are over in Sept/Oct !

Keep an eye open on the Meet Up Forum. There's usually a meet happening somewhere on the coast.

Hi, we have just found a rental in Robina and will be moving in next month - currently staying in short term accommodation in Brisbane. 3 kids all will be going to Varsity hopefully - 13, 11 and 9.

Would be good to chat to anyone new to this area.

Hi Jo,

Good luck with the move! Not long now! Hope all goes well for you all!

Would love to hear how you get on at the Mater! Perhaps you can show me the ropes when we (eventually!) arrive!! The hospital is much bigger than the one Im working in at the moment!!
