Goodbye Perth Hello Queensland
Hi there this is my first thread on Expats --- We have been in Perth 4 yrs now and have decided to make the move over to Queensland - we have sold our house and are just waiting for my little one to be accepted in a school - we are moving to the Currumbin Valley -- tho starting to get cold feet about starting all over again ...
......Any advice would be appreciated specially from those who have moved from Perth over East -- Cheers

I would also love to know whats wrong with Perth?
Adelaide didnt meet our needs so I was hoping Perth would, esp jobwise.

Hi,
We have never moved interstate but i just wanted to say you've made a good choice of place in the Gold Coast, Currumbin is beautiful and has a lovely feel to it!
We've been in the Gold Coast for 4 months and we've been made to feel sooo welcome!
Try not to worry - you've moved across the world before so you can handle a move across a country!!!
All the best

sorry bluekipper, I've just noticed that you've only been a member here since march. Take some time to go back through hundreds of old threads and you'll get a good feel for how lots of people view each state and city in Oz.
good luck !
