hi all, we where on a reccie of brisbane last month, got offered a stunning job in carole park 5 mins from springfield lakes.. i agree in some points and not in others on the area,,, we found it such a very dry and arrid place(as oppossed to north lakes north of brissie) and also some of the streets looked pretty run down with rubbish in the street and grass not cut! .... ok this was in the older part of springfield lakes... but still they where asking $400k+ for these houses!!, the lake and shopping center is great and the new part of the lakes looks fantastic, but as with these new estates all the houses are kinda crammed together with literally 4 ft between homes!!,,
am i being a snob?.. er no... we couldnt even afford to live there, and even if we could .. im sorry it just wasnt for us.. we didnt really "feel" anything .. same in forest lakes just up the road too.. just couldnt get the " feel" of the area.... shame too as i had to knock back the best job ive ever been offered... damn!
please dont be offended if you live in theses places.. but we personally couldnt get into the area at all,,, the strange thing is when we where in uk we where adamant that south brissie was the place for us,,,,, however after our reccie we have decicded that north brissie is for us (bit more greener.... dont ask .. just seems that way to us..lol).. so just goes to show that a reccie is so important,,,, next bit of news is wife doesnt want to go to oz at all now...... too far!!!!! but then she changed her mind,, then changed it again..... i give up... im buying a caravan and moving to a layby near edinburgh..lol.
Thanks!!!
