i have read on this site that when you first arrive in adelaide there is some help in finding somewhere to rent for the first few months and in perth there is some expats who have a scheme to assist new arrivals.
anyway, anyone know of anything in tweed heads / gold coast?
i regularly check the estate agents but not actually contacted anyone yet as its a bit early, we plan to go aug/sept.
thanks

Hi there,

I don't recall reading anything that says Queensland has anything like Adelaide. You could try Jeremy Irons website which has lots of info. The web site address is :

Hope this helps a bit.

Ps Why Virginia when you get to OZ?

Regards

Ginny

The problem you'll have with renting on the Gold Coast is that it's so tourist orientated that they'll want to get tourist rates ... there's lots of that kinda stuff for rent.

Tweed Heads probably a lot less touristy ... now if you're looking for an up and comming place what about Kingscliffe ?

Here's the local paper website .. http://www.gcbulletin.com.au/

thanks stan,
kingscliffe is in our "area" so we may look a little deeper. actually anywhere from byron bay to palm bay is where we are looking and inland a mile or two.
