I had to get out of the house today as humidity was bugging me and the boys were going stir crazy:blink: Anyhow, "Burp"engary is a bit of an odd one alright....when I used to come over on hols before we got married and we'd be heading up the Sunshine coast we'd pass the exit and I'd think "What an awful name" ......oops!!! Little did I think eh.... I love the house we're buying so hopefully it'll be the right move for us, just get knots in my stomach as it took my eldest ages to settle in and make friends and now i'm changing things again.....be good that we'll be finally properly settled before he starts school though... Redcliffe is a Pommie hotbed then....how far is that then from Burpengary does anyone know ? What about Narangba, is there many Irish/English peeps there? Now I sound like I'm desperate for friends....guess I am a little :ohmy: :thumbsup: |
Re: Burpengary!
We stayed in Scarborough on the peninsula and I'd say it took about ten or fifteen minutes to Burpengary.

Its just a suburb with a range of supermarkets, fast food outlets and small businesses. The nearby aquatic centre is a useful facility. Its an ok suburb, prefer Narangba Valley, hence renting in Burpengary & building in Narangba Valley. |
Re: Burpengary!

We move in or around 12th March so not long to go...... I've read up a few things about there being a huge marina project kicking off that'll put Burpengary "on the map"...is that true? |
