I worked with a lovely lady who lived in Tassie after moving over from the UK in around 1974, she eventually moved to qld just like you as she was just so sick to death of the cold... she loved it and I am sure you will to..... just spend a lovely afternoon at the pool, it was a bit windy but the kids had a great time swimming again for the first time this year. I am sure you will love it !

Decided on Springfield Lakes then? The commute shouldn't be too bad and it's a popular spot so good luck with move :)

Thanks everyone- we are so excited.

Today we got tenants for our house who are paying us 12 months up front and we sold our ride on mower and various bits of furniture.

Just got to sell the boat and 2 cars!!

Moving into our friends in 2 weeks and then off hopefully on the 10th October!!!

Now the packing and cleaning begins- yuck!

Congratulations, another step up the Aussie ladder, now you can start to dream of aspiring to living in NSW one day ;) I think that is the natural progression of things ;)

Do they let women in bars in Queensland now? Or do they still have a little hatch where the women are served?

Good luck

Good luck with the move, and welcome to Springfield Lakes (in a few weeks) - we've been here three years now, and its not a bad place - probably especially if you have kids.
