However on a general note I would say that the best place is where you can earn a sufficient income, for without this everything else is just a dream.

Re: wheres best
Everyone has different preferences, we had never been to oz before and just headed straight for the sunshine coast and we love it wouldnt go else where, but its very expensive and we just manage on one wage my hubby earns $42000 a year which is crap without the help from centrelink we wouldnt be here, so you need to have permenant residency to get that help. We have 2 children 2 and 4 and they love it, its a better way of life and we are always out doing things as a family something we never did in the uk, oh yeah i havent seen any spiders or snakes yet and have been here 9 months, good luck with everything

Yes, we found it difficult to get a reasonable wage while living on the Sunshine Coast. Nice area but the income can cloud your view!

Re: wheres best
Hi - just looking through these posts and it makes you realise how many fab places there are here. We live in the Western Suburbs of Brisbane so only 16km to the city. The area is true family environment, good community spirit, good schools and friendly people. Only been here since November 07 and already feels like home.
