If you like comedy, "How I Met Your Mother" and "The Big Bang Theory" are among the best imho Not a fan of zombies, but the The Walking Dead is pretty good too!

Wow, I have been through that bridge, amazing to see all that water! My 2 uncles and unties live in Moore Park near Bundy and they said they are fine thank God. Lots of damage done though, and my cousin's workplace in bundy center is full of water he said. Hope you guys are all ok, must be a tough time

Because maybe they want to go back to the UK and cant? :huh: Joking aside, suicide is really bad as it does not solve your problems... Also quite sad for those left behind.

It depends. In my case it screwed me big time as my wife's parents kept calling through Skype every single F$^k%%^g day, nagging and crying, and miss you here and there and all this S^h%££^t which did not help her to fly from her nest and eventually persuaded her to go back... People are different, true, so it could be of great help or a psychological break down. Cheers

I would rent a car first mate. Most probably you'll have to sort out a few things when you arrive and having a car straight away releases lots of stress! It was not expensive in Brisbane, I remember asking for a quote for a week in Jan 2011, Toyota Corolla, they (EasyCoastRentals) asked for 270 bucks. Rushing into buying a car might cost you more. Then you can log into http://www.carsales.com.au and look for a car. Make sure it's road worthy and if you like a car take it for a check up. Good luck!

I know how you feel jasepom as I went through something similar to yours. Australia was and will always be my dream, my home. I feel at home and happy in Australia while my wife does not. So after we moved to Australia and 6 months in Brisbane, she could not take it anymore and went back home with our 6 year old daughter. I respected her wish as I don't want her to live an unhappy and miserable life. I followed 3 months later. I had a choice. Either stay in Australia by myself and seek my dream, or go back and join them to the life I always hated. Like others said, we are all different so not the same decisions apply to different people. People are happy with different things. In my case, even if I lived my dream life in Australia, it would have not meant anything without my wife and kid. Apart from that, I just cannot abandon my daughter, I love her too much and want to be in her life. I would not want her to live without her natural dad and I did not want her to feel the pain that I abandoned her. I don't want to make you feel guilty as we are all different. Even kids react differently, so I believe that every case is different. All I am saying is that think... 1. Will you truly be happy in Australia but without them? 2. Will you be hurting your family/kids by staying in Australia? How would it affect their lives? Life is not easy and at times we go through life experiences so that we can evolve, learn..I think. I believe it all revolves about love. Am I happy now? Not 100%, no, as I've always hated living in my country (I'm not from the UK) and live in OZ. I have some very bad times, but I'm coping. My family is happy though, and that makes me a bit happy too. When I am down, I focus on how much I love them and that I am sacrificing things I want to be with them. It makes me feel better. Not easy though at times. People are happy with different things, seek different things. What applies to me does not mean it applies to you. Whatever you choose, I wish you good luck. Cheers B1K3R

Help with our trip to Brisbane - Visitor attractions & day trips (photos)
B1K3R replied to fish.01's topic in Queensland
What a nice informative post Fish01, thanks! Made my eyes water... In 8 months in Brissy, I didn't manage to do all of these, hopefully next time I'll be there, in my next life Cheers -
Hi Walt, From Cleveland (which is a few minutes away from Wellington Point), it used to take me around 70 to 75 minutes. From Holland Park/Greenslopes, it used to take me around 60 minutes. Always under speed limit obviously By train, from Cleveland to Brisbane city, it used to take me 1 hour. By car, just a bit less, depending on traffic. By bus, from Holland Park/Greenslopes, it used to take me 15 mins to west end and around 20/25 to inner city. By car, Holland Park/Greenslopes to west end, it used to take me 15 mins. To inner city a bit more depending on traffic. Heh, I miss home... Cheers

Ahh, sorry mate, I missed the GC part :embarrassed: But will he be travelling to the GC or Brisbane city everyday as I did not see him mentioning GC everyday commute? Yeah, from the Bayside you'd need to add around 15 to 20 mins....in my case to Robina in GC as that's where I used to commute to at times. When I moved to Holland Park/Greenslopes, I used to add around 5 to 10 mins instead. PS: I'm all good btw, heading to a job interview as I am bored at my current job and want a new challenge (not that you find many anyway lol)

Unless you're a biker off course, in which case you'll do it to the city in around 30 minutes I like WP, there are some nice houses there, but then again, it also depends on what kind of houses you prefer. Some like old queenslanders, other modern looking ones. :laugh: Cheers

Well, at least you're stuck in Limbo, where there is hope, that one day, you'll be back to the place where you feel happier. Hope helps us to hang on and keep moving forward. Some, like myself, are stuck in Hell, doomed 'forever'. Be patient, time goes by fast. 1.5 years will pass (I know, when one is not happy time goes slower...). Things change. If it's meant to be, it will happen. Like others said, try to get the most of it while in the UK And most importantly, it's all about Love. When you are sad or down, think on how much you love your partner, family etc, focus on the love for them, and you'll feel better. That nice feeling will give you a good reason to hang on Good luck!

The first 2 months are the most difficult and most stressful. You're not settled yet, no jobs and naturally right now you want to be at home where everything feels safe and comfortable. It's a phase that most have to go through when moving. I remember freaking out until I found a job and felt settled. I remember that we had used all our money and I was in the garden desperate, not knowing what to do and praying for help. I remember 15 minutes later I got a call from a recruiter. 3 days later I started working. Keep doing your best to find a job as that's the most important thing, then things will start falling in place. But remain calm as otherwise nothing will help. If you're meant to be there, things will work out. Good luck!

<p><p>Hey Jim! Thanks for asking mate. </p></p>

<p><p>It's all good apart from missing OZ <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Missus and little one are very happy here. For me, it's not that easy to accept it but it's a matter of time I guess. I come to learn that life is not easy at times, and we have to accept the challenges that are thrown to us, maybe so that we can learn and come stronger. Hopefully, there is a reason after all this, and that keeps me going <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p>
