Anyone from Glasgow area
 
Is there anyone going to Brisbane from Scotland? Maybe we can all arrange to meet up there we leave in 3 weeks time.

When we first started the search we looked at Camp Hill, which is close to Greenslopes, but rental prices there were quite high, after talking to a friend in Brisbane we decided to go to Raceview. You will only be a 45min drive from us.

Hi Majella,

I live in Greenock and myself hubby and 3 kids(5, 3 and 11 months) are heading to Brisbane hopefully in November. We like the sound of Fig Tree Pocket and Sherwood although a bit pricey. I've got a job at the Royal Brisbane Womens Hospital so will be looking for something with easy commuting.

Would be good to keep in touch.

Live on the southside of Glasgow, hoping to be in Brisbane by early next year. Thinking of settling around the Cleveland area when we arrive.
