These places inc Southport Sharks myself and family went to when we was out at The Gold Coast in July / Aug 2005, and ALL were lovely! ... I tell people that one of my biggest shocks with Oz was the quality of food. We knew it would be hot and good weather, we knew people would be friendly, we knew petrol was gonna be cheap ... etc etc, but didn't realise the food would be soooo good! ...

Back to the Sharks Club tho, one of my best stories I tell people was the price of a round in the Sharks club :

1 glass of Champagne

1 glass of Chardonnay wine

1 beer

1 Coke

1 Fanta

$9.05 ........ and I kid you not!!!

Current conversion I think was £4 something.

OK! .... this was NOT the price we paid for every round like this EVERYWHERE! ... but we did pay this there one night, and I think there was a discount involved, but it wasn't like 50% or anything! .... I think.

Claire's mum will testify on the price as the champers was for her ...

Oh and as to being on The Gold Coast. Well for us it's all in the hands of the lords!

We are going to Oz on Student Visas and the applications was sent to Oz House literally this morning! ... :scared:

Two weeks and we'll know if our destiny is in Australia or not.

DEN DEN DEEEEEEEEEER!! ...

Palm Beach is a nice one as is North Burleigh Heads. Mind you, haven't been in one yet that I wouldn't avoid There's something about cheap beer, good food and stunning views

Hiya all
We’ve just got here - arrived 19 Jan 06 (just over two weeks) So still new to us, just starting to hit us that this is not a holiday in brill location, we’re not going to be going home, this IS HOME. We move into our rented house in Mermaid Waters tomorrow - it will be soooo good to be able to unpack fully and not have to live out of suitcases.
GC is the best place to be, fantastic beaches, huge choice of good restaurants, buzzy but lots of peaceful areas as well, and brill shopping centres. Unfortunately every fast food outlet you can think of as well!
Our son (13) started school last Monday and is settling in well.
The only down side is that our daughter Jamie (16 going on 25) is insisting on going back to UK and refusing to even start at school.
So by the time you guys all get out here i should be able to let you all know the best places to go!

it depends if you are willing to validate your visas as soon as you get them you only get 12 months from the date of pcs and meds whichever is earliest date

good luck

thanks for that,as soon as we get the visas were off,the sooner the better so i think we will get the police checks and the meds booked as soon as we get our ref back from oz,good luck
