Guest Andy Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Ok, So im 14 moving to the goldcoast in a year and a bit! Im really excited but got mixed emotions!

I like the beach and the sun! But i really want to know what it is like out there! thanks We were there visiting for a few days at the back end of last year and we all thought it was a wonderful place with so much going on for all ages. I have a 14 year old son and he thought the Gold Coast was easily his favorite place we went to in oz, also the beaches there are second to none so i reckon you will be in for a real treat when you move, good luck.

Guest Shell15 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 It is a wonderful and beautiful place to live for any age but particulary a yougster. So much to do you will never be bored! I moved there when i was 18 and had the best times of my life on the gold coast. I know your younger but you will love it! Our 18 year old was born on the gold coast and is absolutely gutted we ever left and moved away! Although we are moving back to the sunshine coast he has already made his mind up that he is moving back to the gold coast one day! Your a very lucky girl. Good luck for your move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shell15 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 So am I its perfectly normal.. Its the unknown that makes us nervous. My daughter is 14 too and while she is very excited to move to Australia she is also nervous about starting school and making new friends... and a little sad to be leaving her friends behind.. She has very mixed feelings, very much like you! So just remebmer it is very nomal and your not the only one feeling like that! It is a very big thing for anyone to move to the other side of the world! Your very lucky to be moving to one of the most popular places in Australia! You wont ever need to go on a holiday again..! You will permanantly be on one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopieloo Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Yes! It sounds really amazing! I think that's the thing that scary, meeting new people because you don't know what they will think of you! But apparently they really love the accent!

Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 We have been abroad nearly 100 times, America, Carribean, Spain, Cyprus, other places in europe, Perth Western Australia and ...... the Gold coast was by far the best place we have ever seen, the beaches are incredible, so is the weather, its really modern, loads to do, simply amazing.

nic1171 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Honestly the gold coast is amazing, so much to do . im 17 and living outside brisbane and hate it but everytime i go gold coast it just gives me a reason to stay here. were moving there next jan though:) Thats really good to hear as I originally chose Brisbane but because I have a 16 yr old son the Gold Coast seemed better so where we are headed, are there meet ups for kids to make friends and the like?

Guest chris955 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 One thing I will say is watch the Gold Coast at night with teens, drugs, drink and anti social behaviour are a big problem. I am talking about GC as in around Surfers Paradise not further out in the suburbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic1171 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 thanks for info all good to know, what about Cleveland, Redland area Homewardbound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chris955 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Yeah they are nice enough areas, all the usual stuff you get anywhere. You realise it is about 70ks from the GC ? I assume it has to be near the beach ? thanks for info all good to know, what about Cleveland, Redland area Homewardbound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ptp113 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Passable for a short holiday, but you wouldn't want to live there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julzcary Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Everyone loves the british accent too! And apparently once you turn around 14 years of age you dont really loose your accent. My son was 12 when we moved here (now 16) and he hasn't lost his accent. You'll find you finish your sentences on a high and will use aussie words but other than that you'll probs keep your british accent. My daughter is nearly 12 and talks english to us and aussie to her friends! Ive met people that have been here 40+ years and are still as broad as ever! Good look on your move.
