zk2102 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 After much deliberation we've decided to fly out to Brisbane next week to validate our visa! Having checked the long term forcast for the next couple of weeks it seems we are more likely to get a fine weather summer holiday in OZ during their winter than we are down in the SW. Havnt had time to get excited yet but know that this trip will be the absolute deciding factor of a permanent move down under. Will be staying close to Brisbane checking out the Bayside area for property and schools. Really looking forward to catching up with all our ozzie friends which Im sure will seem sureal. Will spend the second week on the Gold Coast. We've booked up to stay in cabins on camp sites because thats the kind of thing we do here and dont think my 8yr old would suit a posh hotel! Will post an update when we get there:biggrin:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish.01 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Good luck. Redcliffe might be worth checking out as well if you like the bayside type places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish.01 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Ok, thanks well have a look round there too. Do you know the area well? I know Brisbane very well but not the more distant bayside area's as I don't go there often. Have english friends at Redcliffe so have visited there more often than usual over the last couple of years but by no means an expert. Any questions you have fire away and if I don't know someone local will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
