Which Suburb?
Hi,
Looking to make the big move to 'OZ' next year. I've been looking at where I would prefer to live (gosh there is hundreds) and I am wondering where people have chosen to live when they made the move. Of course its only personal preference, but which suburbs in which areas of Oz do you recommend and which would you not. Maybe this could turn into a guide for future migrants.

Re: Which Suburb?
Well I live in the national capital - Canberra - and it is as good as anywhere really. We dont have a beach right here but it isnt far away. We have excellent facilities, 4 seasons, reasonable employment prospects, the feeling of being in the country while in the middle of town. Yup, couldnt do better!

Re: Which Suburb?
We live in shailer park, south brissy, its great because you have the hyperdome down the street (20mins walk-2 mins car) which has all the shops, hardware, gym,food court, resturants and bars. Its also 20 mins to the city and 35 mins to surfers paradise- on a weekend that is. You are between the two so thats why we like it and only 3 mins to the pacific motorway but still cant hear any of the traffic. Hope this helps, Pete
and hippodrome. Thought you were being mischievous
....sorry not meaning to offend, just my mind playing games.But what is this hyperdome?
And how far is it now from Brisbane airport to Surfers? Its years since I last drove (pre 1987) and I need to meet up with my sister and her OH next year so will be sussing out accomodation etc around that area.
How far to wetnwild?

You're looking at about just over an hour going south, slightly longer going north again. Wet n' wild is about the same length of time but is very slightly further north from Surfers.

Re: Which Suburb?
Thanks for taking the time to add your preferences, I really should have added I would prefer Brisbane as a 1st choice, I also fancy Adelaide as a 2nd choice. Obviously there's quite a difference between the two, therefore, I would appreciate as many opinions as I can get.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
