We are going to move from Western Australia (Mandurah) to Queensland this year. We've given Mandurah 2.5 years of our lives and are ready to explore now. Mandurah is very nice but we feel we need something else and a bit more life!
It seems almost as hard as when we moved over from the UK not knowing areas.
We have a 9 year old daughter and 2 dogs and love being out and about.
So here's my list of wants:
Live not far from shops, city, nightlife, beach
Easy access to airport (husband works FIFO)
Preferably not brand new houses on "lego-land" identical house estates (prefer traditional)
Places to walk my dogs off leash
Decent schools
I can't wait to come and do a reccie and have looked at flights and will be hit for about $2000 for us 3 to get there from WA at a weekend so just one visit will have to do :wideeyed:
Areas I've looked at are Birkdale, Wellington Point, Manly and that's as far as I've got (looked at Ascot and local to CBD but am put off by the prices)
Brisbane / Gold Coast / suggestions please
in Queensland

As for Gold Coast I've no idea where to start!
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks!
