I have looked a lot at the prices and taken into the consideration that Oz has a more equal pay so couples earn more - Oz means my wife and I are far better off. we have another £100 or $200 a week better off. The average salary in the UK is £26000 ($52000) in Oz its around £37500 ($75000) - So yes things cost more in Oz but the average salary is so much more. But moving to Oz is not just about money for us! Waking up 5 minutes walk from a uncrowded beach with sunny weather for 90% of the year is a massive factor!

Thanks for all the info - I'll bear it in mind when looking - May just have to move to the Gold Coast. Not saying that is a bad thing )

Thanks for the replys. I commute and drive to central London almost every day. So I'm used to sitting in traffic. Is there any train service that goes from the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane?

Hi Everyone, My wife an I are moving out to Oz in next 12 months just waiting for Visa's to be granted. We love the look of Mooloolaba and the Sunshine Coast in general but I'm looking at working in Brisbane. I was wondering what the travel times are like between the 2 places. I already travel 1 1/2 - 2 hours to work 3-4 hours a day. Thanks
