We are hoping to settle around the Bayside area, we have 2 boys ages 10 and 8 (dont be frightened, they're not too bad) so if anyone fancies meeting up do let me know.
If you arrive at Brisbane Airport around nine in the morning and see three of us bleary eyed and confused, It's us as we arrive on the same day as you!
Best of luck with it! Q

We rented for 6 months and have now bought a house with pool, spa and a great view. Like alot of people say work is long hours we leave home at 0650 and get back at 1815, but all is worth it for the warm evenings and fantastic weekends.

People are great, work colleagues are a pleasure to work with, food is fresh and the beer is cold. Have a koala or two in the trees outside the house, big lizard on Sunday baking in the sun.

Brisbane is a fantastic city, clean lively and friendly.

Our daughter is settled in school and getting a good education, the dogs have settled in well and enjoy the fortnightly hydrobath. No problem with ticks etc you just keep replacing the tick collars and feeding the monthly worm pills.

What a great place, if you have concerns about coming here, dont, all will work out, you just have to work for it like anywhere else.

Enjoy
Doesn't time fly when your having fun....well done to you both, the first year is hectic getting everything organised and it sounds to me that you have worked your 'butts off'

We also have 2 faithful companions and I'm just on my way to take them out for a walk on a beautiful Spring morning

It really is worth it isn't it.
