Got a bit confused earlier. One minute I was replying to your post then next it'd all gone!

Brisbane for us cause I've got a job offer......but we wanted to go for the attitude, lifestyle, weather, opportunity.

Cheers

We came to Brissy cos

1. It's laid back

2. Not too many tourists on the Bayside

3. Bayside is an hours drive either way to the Gold Coast and Sunshine coast

4. Can get to the city centre by train in 40 mins / car in 20 mins

5. 15/20 mins drive to airport

6. Weather is great all year round, except 8/12 weeks with less comfortble weather [still rather have the heat/humidity than the bleedin snow though ]

7. Being on this side of the country means not too expensive to visit most of Aus and also time wise.

8. It's far away from Soapy and Bix
