Hi,
Lifestyle is great, we are out all the time. You feel like on holidays all the time Weather is still great and you dont feel it autum at all. Only thing its getting dark very early about 6pm so after school or work you dont have lots of time now to go out but we try to be out every day to near play park with my daugther. Weekends are great,we are or on the beach (which is beautiful) or we going to see places. We like to walk a lot, Noosa National Park is great. We also have been in couple of other places like tin can bay to feed doulphins, rainbow beach, kandalila waterfalls and Australia zoo. To the zoo you can get annual pass for about 100 dollars and you have unlimited entry. We loved it and we are planning to go there again during easter time.
For kids you have so many sports to choose, soccer, tenis, surfing whatever you want. It might be hard to get place in the middle of term but you can always put your name for waiting list. My daughter after i want to go back home for couple of days doesnt want to hear about going back now haha.
We dont play golf so i wont help you with that. We would like to rent 4x4 car and go fraser island soon. Will let you know how it was
And yeah everything is just as i thought about lifestyle. Outdoor living, beach, barbeques everywhere. Other things are not so great but you cant have everything
My daughter only dissappointment was no koalas and kangaroos everywhere hahaha
Do you plan to come straight ater you get visa? It will be good to meet
