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

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.
