So we arrived today right in the middle of a storm! Had a lovely dinner out and ready to explore tomorrow

Hi Lianne,

We've been here 6 months. We were a little worried too initially but it's been great. Fantastic mild winters but it apparently can get hot and humid for a few months in summer. Lot's of sunshine. The beach is just a 45min drive away. You are able to get most things locally and Brisbane is a short 1hour flight away.

Some great private and public schools. The Rockhampton Grammar School and Rockhampton Girls Grammar school are really good private options and Frenchville State School is highly recommended as well.

The hospital is on the south side while most of the shopping is on the north. But they are only about 15-20 mins drive apart. Lot's of available housing...buyers/renter's market now.

Let me know if you have any other questions. When do you start at the hospital?

Regards,

We we have an estimated start date of 28th November. Currently living in a small town called mount gambier only 26000 people so we are used to the regional lifestyle. We are looking forward to the warm weather. We moved to Australia and landed somewhere that appears to rain more than England! Where did you come from initially? We are looking forward to the move and making more friends ?

Hi, sorry for hijacking your thread. I am planning to move to Rockhampton from South Australia (been there 18 months originally from UK) in the next couple of months. I have been provisionally offered a position at the hospital. I will be moving with my husband and 3 Kids (9, 6 and 4) I have heard mixed reviews on Rockhampton but am looking forward to the move.

Any advice on good areas, schools etc would be great.

Any Poms out there that can shed some light on the area?
