Default Best places to live in Brisbane

I have been looking at moving to Brisbane, but do not know the area at all. Can smoebody please help. I want areas that are kiddy friendly, and not too expensive.
Thanks

Bulimba is the duck's nuts.

Restaurants, bars, cinema, shops, boat ramp, parks, City Cat and cross river ferry stop, dodgy nine hole golf course , sports clubs and is also home to most of the Brisbane Lions (Jason Akermanis lives a few houses down from us!)

Hi Dynamite have a look at this website www.springfieldlakes.com.au it may give you an insight into one of th areas near Brisbane. We are moving here in October (subject to Visa grant ) and it ticks all our boxes. It may not be for you but you can take a look.

All I know about Ipswich is what is on the weather each day - summer it's piggin hot, winter it's bloody cold. Good enough reason to stay away I think

Hey. Nice to see someone on here that's also braved the big bad Logan! :scared:
Personally, for my wife and 3 kids, the area is absolutely 100% perfect.
And not too many bloody whinging poms round here!
