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.

That's hysterical, do they sell Haggis aswell
I wonder if you get it in a glass bottle and if you get 10p inexchange for your empty ginger bottle.
