Red face Just got visa's!! Got a few questions!!!

Hi Guy's!!

This is the first time I've put a message on, but have got some great advice/tips over the last few months whilst applying for our visa's! We heard last week that we have got our visas!!! YIPPEE!!!So there me Emma a training co-ordinator at college (30yrs) my husband Phil a self employed joiner/carpenter (36 yrs) and our little girl Ellie (2yrs) and we are off to Brisbane, hopefully by the end of August this year!!! We have arranged a house to rent through some relatives that is in a place called Labrador. Can anyone tell me anything about the place? We are thinking of renting for about 6-12 months so we can look at different area's to buy a house as need to think of schools for Ellie, good housing etc. Can anybody suggest area's for us to look at, we are not bothered about being near to the city as are not really city people! People have said to us the further out you go the better house you get for your money, is this true?

Hope to hear back from someone!!
Cheers
Emma

Hiya Emma

Congrats on getting your Visa, we are going out mid-end August too, we are looking at Pacific Pines which is about 15mins from the Gold Coast and about 40 mins from Brisbane, we have been to Oz a couple of times b4 and love the place. Good luck with everything if you look at www.ourbrisbane.com this should tell you about the place you are going to.

Hi, congratulations on the visa. Brisbane is great. We've only scanned house prices, and yes they are better out of the city, but still quite expensive near the sea north and south of the city. There are plenty estate agent web sites to check out. We are going to the northern Sunshine coast area. Have a good journey.

Hi

You can check out
http://www.qld.gov.au/moving_to_queensland/index.html
http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/t_standard.aspx?pid=1

you can order a new residents kit for the gold coast which you will see on the link. We are going to the Burleigh Head area or surrounding area.

Feel free to message me if you would like to be added to the gold coast arrivals list, hopefully at some point when few of us are there we will arrange a meet up.

Hi,

Can't believe I have 4 replies so quickly!!!

Thanks for the reply and info. Can I just ask if your two little ones, or at least your two year old is in any sort of day care?. I thought this would be good to do as hopefully it would give me a chance to meet people and some play mates for Ellie! We are lucky that Phil has work as soon as we get there so it will be just Ellie and I, big shock to the system as I have both parents and Phils mum who help me out with childcare whilst at work here!!!

It would be great if you could add us to the Gold Coast arrivals list! As I'm new to this, what is it??!!

Emma, Phil & Ellie x (The Ducketts!)
