I'd stick with the renting for a while until the bloody highway and dam fiascos are sorted out or you may find yourself living next to the new Bruce Highway.
Can't believe that Qld gov can conduct a 5 yr study costing 5 million bucks into the feasibility of re-routing the Bruce highway only to announce the building of a new dam that wipes two out of the three options out without even conducting any studies it's madness.

Are you a nurse practitioner type thing then GB?
Yep I am! When the dam goes in the Bruce hwy will be covered in parts so not even sure how we'll get through to kandanga and Imbil? They'll re-route the hwy but no plans available yet. Holding off for the mo. Every time we look at land we have to keep referring to the bloody dam map! Ah well ................ off to work

Another point on this is do these communities make Aussies angry, like the Brits here get angry about Muslim communities not integrating?
I just laugh at peole who specifically want to be near Brits as I think its ridiculous!! We have made friends with both aussies and brits whatever our situation and blended in wherever we are. Theres nothing we miss about the UK as we are really contented here. I think its important to embrace the different culture and get on with people whatever their race or wherever they come from.
