Hiya, wecome to PIO. We looked at Brisbane and the surrounding areas, and ended up on the Gold Coast. There are big hospitals in Southport, one in Robina, and other major towns, and plenty of work usually for anyone with a trade. Lovely down here too! Good luck with your application

P.S Is that Eurodisney? One of my regrets is that I didn't take my kids (4,3 and 1) there before we emigrated- my four year old son loves Mickey Mouse, will have to show him your picture.

Been here since September last year. Have you checked out careerone.com that seems to be best for this area? When you arrive, Gold Coast Bulletin on a Wed and Sat are the job pages.
Your kids will love it here; Dreamworld is favourite at the minute with mine, as they have Wiggles World, but still plenty for your older one. My little ones keep wanting to go there all the time too!
