Re: brisbane expats
Brisbane is the bomb. I loved it there. Best place I've lived in Oz. However, my work set me up with an amazing apartment in the cbd right over the water and I had a 10 minute walk to work. If I had to pay a mortgage in the burbs it wouldnt have been a different life and cant say how much I would have liked it.
Good points (in my opinion):
Great people: Really laid back. No pretentiousness.
Good sports: I could walk to gabba and they love their rugby league
Great pubs with big outdoor areas
Perfect weather: Most people wouldnt agree but I even loved the humidity in the summer
Bad points:
Smaller job market (in my field) than other places
Getting very expensive
