Hello there

Never mind who is going to live on the Sunshine Coast who is already living on the Sunshine Coast is the question.

Hi I am Linda and emigrated here 2003 my husband and I are living on Mount Ninderry overlooking Mount Coolum. We came from Runswick Bay in the UK where I used to run a very successful B&B. Life on the sunshine coast is paradise. Bit rainy today but generally every day is sunny.

I have some friends who recently emigrated to Melbourne and they told me they had great difficulty in the transitition period from arriving and getting there new life up and running. I helped where I could but not being to familiar with Victoria and not living down there they struggled on there own with a few issues.

It was suggested to me to register on the Expat register and see if I can help all you weary travellers coming to Qld. I am in the process of arranging a web site to show what we can offer. A friendly face to meet people arriving was the big thing. Getting people organised in the initial couple of days of their arrival, and longer if necessary.
Helping newcomers to understand the rules and regulations of this State and pointing people in the right direction with regards to any issues they might find daunting. Accomodation - Car hire and buying cars - Registering cars - buying houses - Solicitors - Medicare - all the stuff you know so well in the UK is always a little different here. Believe me we found that out for ourselves.

We have accomodation here for up to 4 people - it is the end annex of our house and would be like a Boutique 2 Bedroom appartment with sea views, with all the mod cons. We are 10 mins from the beach 5 mins from the main H/Way in an excellent position to peruse the whole area. It is tranquil, with swimming pool large patio and a huge rainforest with resident ducks and roos, the lorikeets come daily and the black cockatoos come to tell us when the rain is due. All in all its paradise. We know lots of expats and have got a wide variety of Australian friends so as you can imagine life is wonderful.

Do you think this idea of helping people with the transition of leaving the UK arriving in Australia and the interim settling down period would be a good idea. I wont be able to take children below the age of 15 as we have a huge lagoon which would be rather dangerous, plus it is more Boutique accomodation not suitable for families with children.

Pleas let me know your thoughts as these ideas are in the early stages and we would value you comment.
Regards Linda

hi, i know of a few places offering the same service mainly in brisbane though. i'm sure that once a few people have stayed with you and can recommend you, you should do well. what are you thinking of charging?

Havent got to that stage yet like I say still in the early stages.

Probably something on the grounds of B&B which I am familiar with. Rough estimate $110 - $120 per night but for week bookings obviously the price would be cheaper. Like I say its pretty up market and I could charge a lot but I think if we are realistic then people will be more than willing to spread the word.

Do you think this is to much ???? I suppose it depends on the circumstances of the individuals.

hi, not sure on prices as i have not got to that stage yet myself. i know mrs dagboy on here does the same thing, i think in brisbane and charges 650 aus dollars for 1-2 weeks stays and it is cheaper the longer you stay. i think that is for a 3 bed house but i'm not really sure. if you do a search on here you will find it. hope that helps. selina.

Thanks for that will have a look see whats she is offering.

Hope all goes well with your plans, If we can help in anyway let us know we are pretty well versed around here now, and know most of the ins and outs. Maroochydore is great shopping place. The Maroochy river is just magic.
