No we've got no-one over there although I have found a great relocations company. They will hopefully be able to find a long term rental for us before we arrive, which should save us a fortune on a holiday rental and mean I can get the girls into school ASAP.

The site is http://www.goldcoastrelocations.com.au/
I've been in contact with Sarah and shes been a great help so far, I think she might post on this forum? I reckon their fees are more than reasonable esp if you consider how much you'll save by not having a holiday rental, also the last thing you'll want to do on arrival is drag jet-lagged kids around rental properties.

Also may well be the rebel in me that wants to go one way because MIL keeps wispering in hubbys ear (when she thinks im not taking notice!) to "go for a holiday and then come back and save up for a few years, visas are valid until 2014, gloom and doom, blah blah blah.."), all she is short of is a scythe
