Re: How dog friendly.....

I can only speak for my small corner of Brissie, but I've found Australia pretty well set-up for dog owners. We've got a great local dog park within walking distance - safety gates, poo bags, covered...

Re: Moving from NZ to OZ

We did the move from Wellington to Brisbane just over 2 years ago, for my partner's work. It might sound really obvious, but it blindsided me a bit - they are completely different places, with quite...

Re: racism? exaggeration??

I suspect that's true... when I went back to Scotland a couple of years ago, there was definite tension over the sudden influx of Eastern Europeans. Over here, it's us! My OH's (British) South...

Re: Brisbane Suburbs

We know a few families with younger kids in Springfield Lakes, and they seem to love it there - a good family community, great outdoor areas & half an hour into Brissie. It's still developing (like...

You've not been into New Farm lately, have you? :eek: The whole label arms race is alive and well... wall to wall beautiful people, picking up the groceries in their 5 inch heels. Laid back my arse!!

Re: HR Jobs

From what I've seen, there's plenty in the Brisbane area. Seek's good, and it's also worth the usual agency sign-ups - and if you're looking at public sector, try out http://jobs.qld.gov.au/, or one...

Re: Pool or no Pool that is the question?

Pool!! We're in Brissie - no kids, but 2 swimming dogs - and my first summer here would've been horrible without one. In summer, half an hour of soaking in the cold easily gave me a few hours of not...

Hey there

Re: What is the cheese like in Oz?

If you find any good cheese in Brisbane, sing out! I've found decent mozzarella in a deli nearby (and I'll buy Kikorangi blue if I see it), but the rest of it is bland and rubbery so far :huh:
