This is great info, it definitely gives me a starting point! Thank you so much :hug:

No I know but as I know absolutely nothing about any of the suburbs I was hoping people might be able to give me a starting point!! The floods are my main concern! I was so grateful for suburb advice when I moved to Victoria! I have posted in life in qld but not really had any response, never mind, Thank you :-)

Hi all, I am new to this forum and would be so grateful for some pointers! Here's our story - Myself, my husband and our 2 kids (4&6) moved to Victoria from the UK in 2011 and my husband has been given the opportunity to relocate to QLD with his current job! After some thought we have decided to give it a try while the kids are still young enough to adapt etc. My husband will be based in either Northgate or Murrarie so what I am wanting to know is - Which suburbs are best for familes? We quite like small communities. Which suburbs should we avoid for flooding etc? We love outdoor life so are equally happy with being close to the beach or in the hills as long as we are close to most amenities. My husband is happy to commute an hour each way from his work to be in a nice, reasonably priced suburb. Schools I know are a hard one to recommend so I guess I can research those once I have pin pointed a suburb! Equally amongst the facts we would love to hear about life living in Brisbane, we are very used to weird Melbourne weather and lifestyle so it would be interesting to hear peoples stories :-) Thanks in advance for any help :-) x
