Default Advice in Brisbane

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone living in Brisbane could offer any help. We are moving to Brisbane on the 2nd of Feb and are struggling to find rental, we are looking for a 3 bed or 4 bed in a complex, we have tried req rentals and the our Brisbane rental site but there are none available so far. Does anyone know of another source we could use to find what we are after??? time is running out and this is turning out to be our biggest headache.
Thanks Derek

Not sure if you're looking for furnished or unfurnished. Have you tried www.realestate.com.au?

There are rentals around us. Quite a few in Wakerly which is about five minutes from us. Depends on wether you want North or South Side. We managed to get a holiday let for four weeks then get a rental when we came over. Any info you need feel free to ask.

Cheers

Is there anyway of booking a holiday apartment for a couple of weeks until you get here and then securing a rental. I think that might be a bit easier. We had brought the dog and were pretty strict on where we needed to be so options were limited. Offered three months rent upfront which seemed to help.

Cheers
