Default Where to live in Brisbane?

We have just got a book we ordered from the web called "where to live guides" topic= "greater Brisbane". A really good read for everyone that doesnt know what all the suburbs are like to live in and transport etc. Published in 2005 so every thing seems up to date. They also do where to live guides for other areas like the Gold coast etc. Well worth a read on a rainy day in the uk waiting for your house to sell!! Pete

Think we ordered it from "amazon" on the web, was hard to find think we just put in a search for "where to live guides". You can proberly order it from some where like waterstones if you pop in and ask them. Think it was about £10-£15. Pete

Yes abit, it tell what areas are commercial and rersidental and what sort of people live in the areas, familys, single parents etc. Also gives you house prices so you can sort of tell what the people earn that live in them areas.Also tells you what facilitys are in the areas, eg shopping, offices etc so it may help a little.
