Townsville is better for fishing than Toowoomba but Toowoomba closer to other places to visit/flying from Brisbane. We lived in Toowoomba for six months, Bobj says is cool, I say it is VERY cold, hated the cold but other than that great place. TSV hot, hot, hot and I love it. Both place good for kids and family I think.

EVERYTHING!!! Can't see myself living anywhere else in the world:-)

they are def looking for mechanics in Aus. We have only been in Toowoomba and Townsville but both can't find enough/good mechanics and we think 50 to 60K is the average. Like they said, contact dealerships directly, no all of them advertise online but a lot is always looking. My partner had interview line up when we moved to Toowoomba and started two weeks after we got there. Good luck with the move!!

We don't have kids so Toowoomba was not for us but I can see that it can be great place to bring up kids. I used to walk to shops and felt very safe, not like the UK and South Africa. It was too cold for us as well but then again, we rented an old QLDer style home and was like a fridge inside. Can't say we will never go back as it is nice place. We in Townsville now and loving the heat!

We moved from Toowoomba to Townsville about three months ago. I could not find work in Toowoomba but got work straight away in Townsville. I have not come across many UK or SA or Zim people. Sure they around. It does take a while to make friends. We have not made any friends other than 'work friends' Luckily partner's brother also moved here so not alone. Even with no friends we love TSV and will not be moving in the near future. Yes, I know the heat is still coming but it is so nice to arrange this for weekends and not have to worry if it will be raining or cold or just plain miserable. Even without friends, we are really happy here!

Thanks I don't know why that is and am still looking as to what we need to do. As far as I know we can fly there before 17th Feb, get stamp in passport and then fly. We can then go when ready but will be as soon as house sorted. I am trying to look on forum for what to do next but haven't found anything yet.

Thanks for adding us. We thought we will have to wait 18 - 24 months and then got the 18th march email. Done med and pc, no nothing, but staying positive. Hopefully hear something soon. There are people waiting for years, so can't complain.
