Re: north lakes
I'm watching this thread with interest, as we too, are interested in Northlakes. We're currently living on the bayside and have looked at properties in and around Mango Hill. It looks lovely, and like a few have said, it has all the facilities built around the housing to make it a little town of its own!

The bayside is beautiful (we're in Wynnum), but up at Northlakes you seem to get a bit more for your money as it's a bit further away. Although it's a bit further away, it's still not too far from the coast and the city and it has all the facilities built with the housing estates etc.
Hope that helps??? Good luck with your plans.
Claire
P.S. And of course what Ann says is completely right!!!

Best of luck to you for the future regards BobbyIts how I imagine Perth to be (like a mini England), but then with 1000 people relocating to queensland a week, they've got to find somewhere for us all!!!

Maybe someone needs to open an 'English pub' in the area - plenty of Irish Bars, why not English? Couple of decent places for you to visit when you get here tho' - you won't be deprived LOL
