Stayed in a private short term rental for 3 weeks before traveling up the coast and picking where we would live for a good number of years.

Wanting new coffee pals in Eumundi/Cooroy area. I am female in mid forties, married and love fitness and health, animals, horse riding etc... Would love to meet some local ladies and enjoy coffee/shopping etc... etc...

Hi Thoughts on these two areas (Diddillibah/Bli Bli please. Are mozzies bad in Diddillibah, heard they are more than other areas. TIA

Hi Ellie, I would say birtinya, right on your doorstop for work or brightwater at mountain creek less than 10 mins away. Buderim is nice but I think over rated and kind of retirement ville, has good shops and a good friendly environment but don't overlook other areas too which have just as much if not much more to offer.

If you are new to sunshine coast and would like coffee, sandwiches and dainty cakes on Friday our get together may be just what you ladies need. Pm for details, held in birtinya on Friday 28th June

Sopranos, six feet under, boardwalk empire

HiKaren Medicare is in sunshine plaza and the dvla for your licence is also in Maroochydore, exciting times ahead x julie

I would sell the car, very expensive to bring over and being left hand drive I'd say no. Cars however here are ridiculous prices compared to abroad and even in perth they are heaps cheaper then qld for instance.Having good savings to support yourself is usually positive when after visas. I think you would need a car unless you are right in CBD. Brisbane is a great city with a better climate then Melbourne I think you would be happy in brissy.

I would stick to meeting with real estate and looking at a few properties, if you email them they may give general advice on areas. Most agents live within the area they cover so have good local knowledge.

Glad to hear you are happy and settling in. You've chosen a good part of the sunny coast to settle. I'm near mountain creek too

I lived in Gladstone for 8 years

Get all your dental work done in uk before you come cos it costs an arm and leg here! Even with top health cover.

Get all dental work done in uk if poss. Dental work here is still extremely expensive even if you have private health cover. I needed a crown redoing and here for one tooth it costs $2600 to $3000 as you have to go to a specialist. In uk they will redo a crown and re root fill for 400 pounds. They don't always give you good rebates and this amount was what I was going to have to pay with my private health cover as major dental is capped at a max of $1000 per year per person even if you have top cover

I'm a real estate agent. If you get a letter from the real estate who sold your house to say it was well maintained and you were good to deal with this will help. Also offering to pay a month or more in advance, a healthy bank statement is good too.
