The Gold Coast thread...
 
It seems like there are a fair few of us heading to the GC soon or in the near future.

Who else is heading off to the GC soon?

We are also headed GC way, hopefully early Dec. Planning to recce Pac Pines, Helensvale and Robina to live but first looking for short term rental to get us over the holiday period - looks like that could be the most expensive and difficult bit of all. 4 of us going, me OH and 2 girls 12 and 14, 14 year old keeps telling us she is not going though (may have to drug he to get her on the plane)

We think we will be ending up in gold coast. still not rulling out sunshine but gc has more going for us at the mo. our plan was to go jan 08 but we have been talking about sept 07, if i can get some stuff sorted by then. There's me sam, OH, stu and daughter, 10. looking at somewhere as close to the sea as money can take us - but not very close at mo. will have to rob a few more banks:D

burleigh heads looks nice but a little to far out for us! looking all the time though:lol:

We're heading to GC between Oct and Jan 08, no definate date as yet, waiting for house to sell then get flights, shipping etc sorted. Not taking much, just undecided about our cats.:(

Looking at Upper Coomera, Robina, Pacific Pines, and any other areas by those to settle in.:D

Two of our friends left just over a week ago on PR visa to the GC as well, looks like there'll be nothing but Poms there soon.:rofl:

We are leaving our lovely cat - we've got to find her a good home! it's going to break our hearts though.
Queenslanders aren't big on cats though are they? if they were we would take her but we're not getting a fine if she poops in someones garden etc:eek:

Not aware of any problems owing cats here. If you want to bring her bring her. We left my baby because of her age and we didn't know what we would be doing and the fab lady who bought the house asked if she could have Fluff as well so all good.

No offence you lot, but could you go somewhere else please;):D Mind you if you all park yourselves up top end then that's fine;)

mmmmmm now where have i heard that before - oh yes its my soon to be 12 daughter :rolleyes:
our soon to be 15 year old son just can't wait

~KIDS~:D

must admit the airport senario was worrying me I thought we would just about get her on the plane with tears but now the family are insisting they are coming to the airport to say goodbye - despite our objections - it will be really tough.
