If you're looking for short term accommodation that allows pets try Brisbane Cottages:
http://www.brisbanecottages.com.au/
Their prices are short term prices i.e roughly hotel prices, so they're not suitable for more than a couple of weeks but for the money you do get a full house with garden.
Cheers

You get a lot of house for your money but the major downside is that it's a long way from the CBD. There's no train line so you have to drive - they say that it's only about 45 mins from the CBD but I'd say that was outside of the rush hour. Others who live in Redcliffe may be able to verify but I'd say it would take at least 60 mins to get from North Lakes to the CBD in the rush hour.
As for good links to the Bruce Highway - well it's practically built on top of it so that would be a yes!

.Are you trying to say it is a rough area? With these Bogan people (whatever the heck they are!!!?).
Thanks though I respect your opinions although they might end up being different to mine.

The Macquarie dictionary defines it thus:
bogan noun 1. a fool; idiot. 2. WA a lout or hooligan, especially of a particular social group noted for wearing black shirt and jeans. 3. Tasmania a rough lout or hooligan. In Hobart equivalent to a Chigga. [probably from Bogan a river in NSW]
Those of us here in Victoria would probably find the WA definition the closest, whereas Area 7's opus "Nobody Likes A Bogan" goes into more detail about a particular example of Bogandom.
Off the top of my head, some attributes of bogans might be: tight jeans, tight t-shirts, cigarettes, loud music, bad haircuts, swearing, not a particularly high income bracket, and a hotted up car.
Ultimately being a bogan probably isn't a choice, and isn't really the clothing, either. It's more an attitude. A kind of indefinable ... uuhh... thingy. Yep.
