wow - never been before?! What makes you want to go and what has made you choose QLD?

.....

Hi I thought it might be a good idea for people here to say in very brief format where they are currently living in the UK and where they are moving to (or hope to move to!) in Oz, and maybe how far along they are, circumstances etc in order for people to maybe meet and chat with people in the same boat and who knows - possibly make new friends for life! So I will start us off Currently live in: Epping, Essex, UK Moving to: Buderim, Sunshine Coast, QLD Visa Type: Business Owner Family: Me, Wife, 2 kids (4 and 18months) Age bracket: 30 - 40 When hoping to move: April 2013 Visa status: granted! Been to Oz before? Yes 7 times, been all over!

What type of thing/place are you looking for?

Maleny and Montville in the Glass House Mountains are stunning. My wife and I have visited all of the areas spoken about when trying to find the right place to settle with our 2 kids (18mnths & 4yrs) - the last time we went we stayed in Buderim and checked out 4 or 5 schools from Maleny, to Buderim and right down to the Coast at Golden Beach. For me, in terms of the wow factor Maleny/Montville wins but I think we will move to Buderim as it is just much more practical and coming from the UK Buderim and the Sunshine coast will be a slow enough pace of life. I fear that if we moved to Maleny it would be too much of a life change all in one go. I have done sooo much research on these areas - feel free to ask me anything you like and will try to help!
