Can anyone advise please?

My sister and her husband have lived in Sydney for the past 7 years and have two boys under the age of three.They have been looking to move to the Brisbane area but don't want to live in the city.Does anyone reccommend any nice towns like Maleny or Montville but are only 1 hour (max) commute to Brisbane?

Any help much appreciated!!!!!!:)

Do they want to be near the coast, inland or are they not bothered?


Incidentally, where abouts in Cheshire are you??

I don't think they are bothered
They like things quieter and not too touristy.
Oh- sunny Macclesfield!!!!!

It really depends on what you mean by "town" & if you mean an hour in peak hour traffic (which is what I consider "commute time" ). An hour from Brisbane is generally suburbs more than small town.

Anyway, my suggestions would be to try Samford & Dayboro :)

Samford is perfect and only five minutes to the train in ferny grove. Also in ferny grove is a real estate agent called Grants, part of the century21 group. If you get your rellies to talk to a guy called David Tyler he has properties in Samford and will set you straight.
