Thinking of relocating to queensland or NSW.looking at Port Stephens or RObina in queensland.whats rent for either 2 bedroomed apartment or 3 bedroomed house .what areas would you recommend.ALso jobs cheffing plus retail.

Have a look at the below websites for rental costs;

www.domain.com.au
www.realestate.com.au

Good shopping center at Robina, all so near gold coast so pleanty of jobs cheffing,i work incatering repiare. Try gumtree for jobs.I think our (qld) weather is better & more to do.we are 1.5 hours north i cover there but there so i drive 5 hours to some jobs (went to mine last week 14 hours away!)20 mins of Brisbane 3 bed 2 bath $400 a week now 40 mins 2 mins to beach $340. MY VIEW of surfers is Blackpool cross with muit millions doller houses.

Port Stephens is beautiful but small, not alot there really. A marina, great beaches, lots of holiday rentals and camp sites etc but not much else - we holiday there . Not sure of rents or job situation - would think plenty of chef jobs as tourist destination but would be strong competition as not much else. Sorry cant be more help, good luck, Jo
