Re: Moving to the Gold Coast
We are a family of 4 Heading to GC, im 29 my girlfriend is 25 we have a baby girl of 7 months and Jack Russel dog Sebastian. We are not sure when we are moving. depends on visa and work situation in around GC and Brissy (Electrician). Might try Living round Robina as we have family in that area. So far the visa process and Vetasses has taken us just under a year. We are currently waiting on State Sponsership to progress to the visa application. hope to move early next year depending on the work factor, which our scouts say are not good.

Re: Moving to the Gold Coast
We moved to Carrara on the Gold Coast Nov 2007 and love it, we have the sea and the mountains, there is so much to do here for the kids and adults alike, as a family we are very happy, just need to find a larger rental until we can buy and life would be great.
Good luck with the move all of you, you wont regret it.

Re: Moving to the Gold Coast
would just like to say parking around the hospital is a nightmare and has very over zealous parking attendants ( fund raisers for the council ). You can park a little bit away for free and walk the rest.

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.
