Hi Liz - sounds fabulous - We coming to live there !!! We not sure yet , definately Brisbane area, no further north than Sunshine Coast. Visited Gold Coast last year, and went down as far as Bryon Bay. OH is a plasterer so we going to go where the work is. Just ordered a more detailed map of Oz, want to be like you, a small drive to the beach and near to schools and shops. Going to rent first, before we buy - what are the property prices like, are there plently of rentals around??
OMG going to ask you loads of questions now!
