WelcomeIf you are new to Poms In Oz and migrating to Australia or currently living in Australia feel free to say hi to all the other either in or moving to Oz.
Hi everyone,
We're somewhere in the middle of waiting for a case-officer for our skilled-independant visa which was received at Adelaide on 31st October 2006 (myself, husband & 8 year old daughter )
I've been reading the forum for a few months now after it being recommended by my best friend who emigrated to Oz 3 years ago.
We are hoping to move to Brisbane. I am a trained nurse and Brisbane looks more promising work-wise for hubbie & house-price wise for buying a home out there.
There may be a real possibilty of employment for husband near Ipswich. Could anyone tell me anything about Springfield Lakes (the new planned community) eg is it recommended, crime rates etc. I did read on the forum that Ipswich was not a good area!!! and I realise that Springfield Lakes is fairly close to Ipswich.
The other area I think we would like is Redland Bay ( Victoria point etc) could anyone tell me how far a commute this is to IPSWICH , both in kms & length of time ( wouldn't want poor hubby travelling all day to get to work & back- want him to have plently of energy left to cook the barbie & get the bud out the fridge )
Thanks
Wee Wen :D
