Hi Al
Glad to hear you are having a great but busy time - can I just disagree with you on one point? How can you call all the GC Suburbs souless & like Stepford? There are over 50 suburbs & I know that the areas my family live in & we are headed for are nothing like you describe! Ashmore, Labrador, Carrara.............. Okay maybe some of them can seem very "samey" as there are a lot of new developments but on the whole I disagree that they are all like Stepford. Okay they are all clean & tidy but coming from the UK I am wholly looking forward to that!

Re: Our reccie trip so far............Brisbane, G.C, S.C, and Redlands
Hi..We too are hoping to activate our visa's in june of this year.. Hoping to go to the Gold Coast any info you have on certain area's would be really great! It will be our first time over and we are starting to get alittle scared on where is good etc!!.. We have 2 children aged 9 and 6. I'M a hairdresser by trade and my Hubby is in retail.. No jobs as yet so it's all about our home work before we go.. Any advice would be fantastic.
dont ask me abiut the gold coast as i dont know enough to answer you on how good it is.
There are loads of helpful people if you ask for help in that area all expats and some natives too
good luck and it is all lovely generally , its just a matter of taste where you end up
have a good adventure and dont tie yourself down too early before youve had a good look art areas and get to know the place first, get a lay of the land and feel settled then move out of the rental into somewhere of your own if that floats yer boat
good luck and most of all enjoy every minute
