Where to stay in Brisbane .....If I can sell the house?
Hi there,
Asked many questions before about living in Brisbane and now by the looks of things it may become a reality pretty soon.
I've been offered a job at Griffith University at their Nathan Campus. Can anyone tell me what it's like living in areas around there. Hubby is a Haemodialysis nurse so any hospitals that deal with this would be useful.
Cheers
Ginny

As for places to live - it depends on your budget & whether you are looking to rent or buy. I would suggest places like Salisbury, Moorooka, Sherwood, Graceville, Greenslopes & Holland Park (not West). These suburbs are between Nathan & the Mater & Greenslopes, so would suit working at either
If you want row upon row of new housing in endless estates you could look at Calamvale/Stretton area. This area is south of Nathan, so would be a further commute if your hubby needed to work at Mater or Greenslopes.

If not there I would look at Greenslopes Hospital or possibly the Mater as all are on the southside & not too far from Nathan.

Heres a link for the PA http://www.health.qld.gov.au/wwwprofiles/pah_hsd.asp , Moorooka & that area is half way between Griffith & the PA (about 5kms from each).
Hope that helps.
Edit: Just looked at that link, if you scroll to the bottom it mentions renal dialysis.
