Hi I have very recently moved to Teneriffe and have been in Oz for 8 weeks now. Moved from Manchester wuth my daugther and would have loved to come to your get together but I only stumbled across the post today! Would love to meet peps in the area and socialise, will you let me know if there are any other events/ stuff organised? Thanks in advance! Andria (Cheadle to Teneriffe -the journey so far!)

Hi I'm looking at Brisbane and surrounding areas and need lots of help (!). I am a single mother of a 12 year old and we will be moving to Australia in December of this year. I have family who live in Cleveland, Brisbane so my search area for 'livablility' is narrowed down to Brisbane purely for practicality purposes. However, I am investing my life's savings to seek the dream in Oz and as such, would dearly love to live near the sea and have the option of strolling to the sea/beach in the morn and in the evening! I know this is probably a pipe dream but given that I am putting everything into this, I thought I would try!. Does anyone have any suggestions that could help? I am looking (like 99% of the population!) for a nice area, close to the sea but with activities and community events for my daugther to get involved in. I am very realistic and know that all areas have negative points but as long as there's a positive area or points to be made, then I'm happy. Lifes not perfect and even Summer Bay seems plagued by problems!! lol Any help would be very gratefully received as it is just me and my daughter and I am feeling slightly overwhelmed! Many thanks

Thanks for the advice Mark, I will take a look at Coogee and Marouba. Hope ur move goes well!:biggrin:

Hi I wonder if anyone has the time and patience to advice me!lol I have been offered a place and scholarshipo to undertake a PhD at the Uni of NSW in Feb 2011. I will be moving down under (yey!!) with an 8 year old and need much advice as to where to look to l;ive! I don't really want to live in the city even though the uni campus I am attached too is in Kensington - I would prefer a more beach/suburb location with families and houses as oppose to apartments and flats. Ideally I want this 'ideal' location to be within train/bus travel of Kensington so that I can get to Uni quickly and back to get my daugther from school! I know...when I read it it sounds like I want the world without probs but I'm not picky, my priority is a nice family area close too a good school. With much anticipation Andria:jiggy:
