SETTLING IN THE SUNSHINE COAST AREA?

[tahe49]

Hi Hayley 370

Thanks for that !

At this stage everything that I am thinking is all hypertheical anyway, we might not even get our visa's accepted. It's good to have ALL the facts - rather than go with rose tinted glasses.

At the moment my husband leaves at 6.30 to drive for 1 hour - if he left any later it would take him nearer 2.

It certainly looks a lovely place to live - the real aussie dream

Hi

We are new to this site, and your views have made us feel more comfortable with our move. We wish to move to Mountain Creek, Buderim, mainly due to the schools, being near the sea etc. Schooling in a priorty to me as I have a daughter 11 and Son 9. My husband is a landscape gardener, general handyman etc and is concern is work. We want to rent for say 3-6 months. Does anyone know of any good rental accomadation sites.

Thanks

My partner Kerrie and myself, Jamie have just been granted permanent residency visas for Australia and intend, all being well, to migrate to the Sunshine coast area in August 2007 (after my bro's wedding). It is also our intention to go over again for another short holiday during my shut-down week at the end of May 2007, for another "look" to re-fresh our memories, as we think this would be sensible.

We feel it is very important that we now speak/contact as many people as possible who are in the same situation/recently migrated and settled in the Sunshine Coast/Brisbane areas.

Anyway, i'm Jamie, I am 33years old, and we applied on me as I’m a metal machinist/engineer and my partner, Kerrie, who is 28 years old is a qualified hair dresser, but currently working in retail. It only took approx 9months to be granted our independent permanent visa.

We live in Rugby in the West Midlands, about 10miles from Coventry and we would like to settle in the Maroochydore /Mooloolabah/ Caloundra/ Buderim area, but not yet decided!

So if all this sounds relevant, please get in touch!jamie.kerrie50@ntlworld.com

Regards, Jamie & Kerrie

Hi Jamie and Kerrie

Just joined the forum and found your post. We are moving to the Sunshine Coast on 14th August this year (heading for Noosa) We had our visas granted on 31/05/07, husband is a vehicle painter and has been offered a job there.

When in August are you going? and have you decided where to yet?
