We also remember buying fleece jumpers and jeans whilst in Brisbane as we were freezing. I suppose this is a bit of a typical woman question but I have been wondering what kind of clothing to bring. Do I really need to bring things like long boots like we where here in the uk. I have to say if I leave them all behind my sister will be delighted. Also things like duvets, we have a 13 tog for winter but is it just going to be stored when we get there. Also another question, we are shipping all our household goods but have been wondering if it is worthwhile shipping our wardrobes as all the shipping agencies say that you have fitted out there. It will be sods law if we don't bring them we will need them, any thoughts.

Looking forward to living in Hervey Bay, hope we won't be disappointed.

We arrive in Brisbane 30th August and Hervey Bay 14th September.

Thanks
Miranda:D

We came up from Adeliade where we were for 13 months.

Hi
There is loads of building going on here, so I reckon you should be able to get plastering work. Sorry no idea about schools, although obviously there are lots of them!
All the Best Kate

Morning.

We have been in the bay nearly 2 months now and are really enjoying it. We have 2 kids who go to Urangan High school and Sandy straights Primary. They seem like good enough schools.... will tell more when parents evening comes along!!!!

We rented in Torquay for a couple of weeks and have now bought a house in Scarness.

Looking forward to exploring every restaurant on the prom!!
