New member needing advice please!

Hi All,

Just joined today and can think of a million and one questions I'd like to ask. My family and I have been contemplating moving to Aus for the past 2-3 years and keep putting it off for reasons of fear of it all going wrong and making the wrong decision. We have two children and want a better life for them and us!

We visited Brisbane last year and loved it so much we want to move there. Can anyone recommend a family friendly, nice, reasonably priced suburb to live in around Brisbane area, no further than about 10km from CBD with good schools!!!

My OH is a Chef, does anyone have any advice on what jobs in his trade are like out there and how easy it would be for him to find work?? Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

Hiya welcome to Poms In Oz,,you have made a good choice with Brisbane ,its great out here for kids(&us too).Have a look at Brisbane Queensland Australia - suburbs - maps - accommodation - events - street and business directory - restaurants - ourbrisbane.com and try to get hold of a where2live guide on brisbane,its a really informative book and lists all the suburbs around the city.I know Where2live have their own website or you could try amazon books.You may also find Real Estate, Property, Land and Homes for Sale, lease and rent - realestate.com.au interesting ,you can compare property prices in various suburbs to see where is in your price range,,,good luck with everything

Welcome to PIO.

It's quite a while since we lived in Brisbane............. you will just love it over there. We used to live at Everton Park in the north first of all.......... then moved down to Carindale in the south east. We preferred that area.

Wherever you do end up in Brissie....................... hubby will have no problem at all finding work.
