Where should we move to??
Hello all,
We are planning to move to Australia in September. We originally fell in love with Noosa (Sunshine Coast) but are now concerned that it might not be the best place to start up our own business or find jobs plus property is not cheap. Can anyone suggest places that fit the following criteria (we are looking at the coast around Brisbane or Sydney)
- Commutable to the city (within an hour preferably). (We haven't decided yet whether to set up our own business yet (any ideas of ways to make $$$$ in Australia appreciated!!) or get jobs - my husband's an IT (SAP if you know it) Manager).
- Space around but not too isolated and preferably near the sea or with good views
- Properties at a reasonable price - we are looking for a 4/5 bed house with pool (and preferably sea views) for less than $1milliion
- Nice town with access to schools, shops, restaurants
- Good weather year round (hence looking at Brisbane or Sydney)
Any recommendations appreciated as doing this over the internet is not easy.
Many thanks
Emma

Re: Where should we move to??
I suggest brisbane, as property is ridiculous in sydney, and you know what i love brisbane as a city, so much in north south and in the city, sydney is nice but i prefer brisbane you dont earn much less than in sydney and yet property is alot cheaper, i have been to noosa, sunshine coast which is pretty quiet for work,south in the gold coast is a better option to live places like hope harbour, runnaway bay,highland park, pacific pines..
these places are all in lovley areas near beaches nice beaches local to all disney parks brisbane city..........ideal for you,
I have a real estate brochure infront of me oxenford is not far from brisbane and for $850,000, you can buy a beautiful house over looking lake 40sq+ in a boutique estate.three separate living areas, grand central staircase,rumpus room balcony,swimmimng pool and 883m2 land.Looks so modern and gorgeous.6 bed too.++++.mansion!!!
I am headed in that direction but willnot be ableto afford such a nice house but looking forward to a better life none the less
