Re: Best areas of Brisbane to live in or Gold Coast?

Spring Hill is a bit seedy in places, thanks to the strip clubs / girlie bars. Close to the CBD, so very handy if you work round there. Less than 10mins walk to Fortitude Valley for restaurants, bars...

Re: London Mayor

To all those who voted for Boris Johnson, I hope they get what they deserve. I only hope he doesn't screw up London in the meantime.

Re: Anyone moved from Brisbane to Melbourne?

I moved from Sydney to Brisbane, after 3.5 years in Sydney. For me, it was the right thing to do (for now). I'd recommend a similar course of action if Brisbane isn't doing it for you - try somewhere...
