Hi

We (Me, OH, 2 boys 8 & 6) are off as soon as we sell the house (got our 1st viewing on Saturday).

We are heading for the Bayside area, not sure exactly which suburb, we will have to decide when hubby gets a job and we get there.

We also loved the Sunshine Coast when we went on our Rekkie in 2005.

Why did you choose there? Can I ask what was your budget for a house?

It is mighty big over here and plenty to see just wandering what makes people move to this area, is it jobs? or family? or just because it will be a good place to start?

We would love to live somewhere like Mission Beach we stayed there on our trip from Brisbane to Cairns but not much IT work up there. However our plan B (if we don't get a job in Brisbane) is to live on the coast and see if we can scratch out a living.

Hi we are still not so patiently waiting on visa. Not sure when that will happen but are sure that we are heading to Brisbane. Visited it in 2005 and just loved it. Feels like a town, real easy to get around. Don't know exactly where but we looked at Sherwood, Graceville and Corinda area's. Would like to be on a rail link to do stress free commuting to work. Can't come quick enough. :D
