Hi all, We're hoping to move out to Brookwater near Springfield lakes next year. We absolutely loved the area when we came out for a reccie last year. I'm starting to have cold feet as I've been hearing so many reports of extreme temperatures expected in Oz this summer and high risk areas for bushfires. Brookwater has been listed as a high risk area. Apparently as yet there are no development restrictions or requirements set for fire buffer zones and it is something they are only just thinking about. Apparently the road network around there is not great for getting out if there is a fire as there's only one main road out? How worried should I be? Sitting here, googling and trying to figure things out. Your opinions would be much appreciated! Thanks

Or maybe do some local exams or post graduate study that might make it easier to find work?

Hiya, We have a BMW 535d M Sport 2011(61) mileage 4,000 current uk value £42,000 current value of equivalent car in Oz $136,000. We wouldn't be looking at taking it across until around aug 2013. I estimate it would be worth around £34,000 in the uk at that time. Would we need to pay any luxury car tax? I read something about if it's over two years old you don't pay it?? If so do you know when they calculate this date from is it the cars build date or when it was first registered in the uk? Please could you give me a rough estimate of how much it would cost to take over to Brisbane and what the value of it in oz would be around aug/sept 2013 considering it's an import? Many thanks, Javi x
