Also we have heard that you need references to rent property where do we get references from :?: No meet n greet that we know of, we booked temporary accom to start with then took out a 6 month rental got a referance from temp accom owner. You will find it hard to book long term rental from the UK as it is all quite fast moving there was less than a week from been accepted for house to moving in. You need 100 points to rent (although a large bond goes a long way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ash & Keith Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hi, just to let you know that a company called Brisbane Bound do a meet n greet service in Brisbane. They have a few houses that they rent out, do pick ups from the airport and provide you with some local info. They have a good website explaining everything they provide, prices etc at brisbanebound.com. We are hoping to use them in April when we go over to have a look around. Hope this helps, Ashleighx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DadAgain Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi everyone, I have just got a Nursing job in Brisbane and want to be near a beach town. ...Have no idea where to base myself was thinking Caloundra. Am I mad to think I can do the commute... Yes mad... Caloundra to the PA is an EVIL commute just dont do it. If you dont mind a commute and you want a 'real' beach then heading south to GoldCost would make more sense - but still not a pleasant commute. (Although nursing hours of 6:45am or 2:45pm starts means you'll avoid the worst). If by 'beach' you just mean close to water then Brisbane's bayside suburbs may well be the go - you could easily find something withing 5 minutes drive of the water and still be within 30 mins commute of the PA. If you want meet and geet - just make a few friends on here (or on 'BE' - oops shoudlnt mention the 'oposition' forum shoudl I? :frown:) - and you might be surprised at how many people are happy to show you around. I'd love to show people around Brisbane - but they'd have to have transport of their own, arrive on a Sunday when the wife was working and NOT expect me to meet them at the airport for a 6am flight!!!.... If you can put ticks in all those boxes, I'll gladly do the 'tour guide' bit (for free) - it'd give me a chance to get out of the house and remind myself of how exciting Brisbane can be! :jiggy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nataliedraper@fsmail.net Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks, Is there much in it between the Gold coast and The sunshine coast, I know Sunshine is less commercial but surely there is good and bad in both. have said that will be prepared to do one hours drive/travel to work. Am having a month to investigate all areas before I start work, Its so hard to know where to start, I just want a beach nearby and a laid back life.
