Hi
If you have not checked out
www.ourbrisbane.com do so lots of info & links etc.
Were heading off to North Lakes in October to join other family who have been out there for 5 yers now.
In there opinion North Lakes has pretty much all you can ask for;
New housing, Schools, shops, parks, good transport & work.
Just try typing in North Lakes in your search engine it brings up plenty of stuff to look at.
Kind Regards
Mick
