hi wanting to move to brissy

[campbellm1]

Hi

Im Michelle and I currently live in Blackpool. My OH is a floorlayer/ commercial vinyl installer and we are thinking about coming to Brisbane.
We have submitted our visa 136 MODL last month and are just playing the waiting game like everyone else!!

My two girls ages 12 & 15 are both into horses and spend every day they can when not at school down the stables. My husband wants to get into motorcross and I just want a quite life!!Lol
Does anyone know if there is work for OH and what area I would be best looking at to enable all to do the things they enjoy.

Cheers

Michelle

Welcome to PIO

Had a beer in the Squirrel at Bispham a few months ago; we were staying with family at Cleveleys.

Went to see a few games at bloomfield road while we were there.

Can't help you either re floor layers.............. I'm sure someone will be along shortly who can advise?


good luck

As all Aust cities are modern sprawling suburbs once you hit 'the outer edges' thats it - no farmland until you get out into the regional areas. Its not like UK where the suburbs end you overlook rolling green fields, farmland, sheep etc. Hinterland further out but if they're into horses thats really only option with BNE. You'll def get your piece n quiet there

With work I'd suggest doing google search for QLD or BNE house/land package building companies - prob list employment on their own websites????

also google something like.......local papers for Brisbane - find the name of the daily rag then hit the employment pages????

once visas sorted etc you could always register on seek.com.au or something for work wanted??

maybe also google (sorry but its such a good tool) the suburbs/region your interested in moving too.....ie carpet fitters of .............. oh hang on try yellow.com.au - Keyword Search

good luck

Hi and welcome to PIO from a past neighbour (we lived in Preston). My daughter likes horse riding too and we found a stables for her very easily and she loves it. Her lessons are $40 for an hour and are done in terms (like school). We're in WA
