G'day,

I see there are a lot of new british people moving to Brisbane any new comers to the Gold Coast?

Tried Brissie.....not good very klee kie . . .Gold Coast everyday.

We arrive on 6th July, OH will be working in Robina, me probably in Brisbane CBD, so will live somewhere inbetween but toward the gold coast.

Where are you coming from? How long has it taken you?

C'mon i dont believe for a min there is about a million people moving to Brissy this month and 1 person moving to the Gold coast????

Hi Tracy

cheryl

hi cheryl,

I`ve been offered a job on their neonatal unit,more special care at the mo; but it`s a nice unit and i went for a look around last aug and the staff seemed really friendly.Were house sitting in Nerang for a few months this will give us plenty of time to look around and find a nice place to live,so weve kinda fallen on our feet . lucky

thats great... i qualify as a midwife in Sept and we were hoping to be out for Oct, nov but dont know now with visa.

you will have to let me know what you think of the GC hospital.

are you over there at the moment if not when do you go

cheryl

cheryl,
we`ve booked our flights for 31st July. have you been allocated a co yet. i think from what i`ve read the midwifery is very different a little more Dr lead than most of the midwives would like but i`ll wait and see. What hospital are you at ,I`ll keep you informed on how we get on.

They are in the process of building a new hospital which will be open in 2012. Check out the link http://www.health.qld.gov.au/buildin...gchospital.asp When this opens i believe they will kock down SOuthport and turn it into units.

Cheryl, Pac pines is a nice area but there are a lot of British people live up there. The public transport is pretty average too. If it is during the day it is not too bad but after say 5-6pm you are very limited to getting around. Have you been over here before?

Not moving soon but been here 2 years now if that helps?!!! X
