First thoughts about areas

Really really flexible at the moment, but looking for an area around Brisbane in which to settle. Only constraints are that we will be moving in 3 years with twins who will be 6 then and I want them to grow up in an active location, preferably within 10 mins of fab beaches. Initial thoughts are close to Gold Coast...

Probably a bad parent, but am less concerned with specific schools as I am under the impression that most State Schools are similar and will change over the coming years.

Just be interested in views so I can make some lists of places to visit!

Thanks guys

Sam' thanks for the link - looks good!

3 yr wait is tied into a financial bonus that will make the whole thing affordable, be crazy to leave without it!

Hi Johatts,

Please can you explain something to me, I am being really thick here but I don't get it.

I have been on the ourbrisbane site but cannot find places like Murrumba Downs, Petrie, and I think there are a few more, they fall in the North Brisbane area and I know you guys are in the South but nonetheless you are still on there.

Any ideas?

Wendy
