Robina and Surrounding Areas?
 
I would love to speak to people who live in this area. Looking to move there within the next three months from NZ.

I have two boys 11 and 12 years. Husband works in PNG FIFO and I am a beauty therapist. Thinking of this area as it looks lovely for the kids and not too far away from Brizzy with hubbie needing to fly to PNG.

Anyway the kids love to Skate and Surf....Youngest boy is in a gifted and talented programme.

Would like to move to a nice area. Good facilities, fun things to do for the kids and us of course.

Any recomendations?

Thanks

the problem with that it usually ends up with a my suburbs better than yours nonsense, where you live tends to be decided more on your income and personal requirements,

since we have been here we have lived at varsity lakes and worongary, both have been good for differnent reason although on balance i`d have to say for me personaly that worongary ticks more boxes,

for two young lads you`ll need to be within a schools catchment area, as i only have experiance of varsity lakes i would recommned that,
our daughter enjoyed her four years at the school which resulted in her getting a high enough OP to go on to uni to study law,
i`m sure that there are other excellent schools in the area and hopefully others will add their experiances for you to consider,

Thanks Steve,

Will be going for a reccie soon to check out the areas. I was hoping to move in December so that the kids would start their new school year in Oz but I think we will end up there much sooner.
