toast72 10 Posted January 22, 2014 Hi there, has anybody moved from Adelaide to Queensland? We have been in Adelaide for 2 years now but often wonder if Queensland has more to offer. We hope to buy a house this year so want to be sure it's in the right state! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith and Linda 2,476 Posted January 22, 2014 Hi there, has anybody moved from Adelaide to Queensland? We have been in Adelaide for 2 years now but often wonder if Queensland has more to offer.We hope to buy a house this year so want to be sure it's in the right state! In what way more to offer? it would also depend where in Qld too. I live in Qld (nr Brisbane) but in Adelaide at present working (return to Brisbane Saturday) so can offer my opinions on those two area's. Cheers Keith. Enjoying life in Queensland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toast72 10 Posted January 29, 2014 Comparisons really as far as schooling, jobs, cost living, and of course the weather? Winter in Adelaide is quite chilly and for longer than we thought. Hubby is a lifeguard too and here the season is only 6 months long. Queensland it's year round. Also, accessibility to other areas? We really enjoyed the Gold Coast for a holiday, quite fancy the Sunshine coast but the rain and flood risk is a concern. Adelaide has alot thats great but don't know that it's my forever place. Any insight welcome :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fish.01 2,565 Posted January 29, 2014 ... quite fancy the Sunshine coast but the rain and flood risk is a concern.... Do you mean the Sunshine Coast in particular has rain and a flood risk ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxsta 156 Posted February 7, 2014 Rain and flood risk? It is Queensland, it floods inland as well, and in low lying areas? Arrived 10th August....loving it Sometimes you make the right decision, sometimes you make the decision right ~Dr Phil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimbo66 10 Posted February 9, 2014 Hi toast72 we are also in Adelaide and after 7 years have decided that Brisbane area is for us. I hate the winters here in Adelaide they go on for a while especially last year and although we have never been out of work there are so many more jobs advertised in Brisbane. We are planning on moving to Qld by then end of the year and have our daughter enrolled in a school already to start in Jan 2015. We we like the fact that you can be in Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast within 40 minutes and there seems to be so much more to do. wishing you the best for your move kim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toast72 10 Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks for the replies so far. We are still looking into it, so any more thoughts welcome ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cazzaj 10 Posted April 1, 2014 Hi we're in similar position were thinking of moving to Sunshine Coast next year .. We have lived in adelaide for nearly 3 years and althoe we love it here we don't feel that it's our forever home.. We have brought a property and will rent it out and my husbands work means he can transfere to Brisbane way ... But I want to be out of the city and live up in the Sunshine Coast.. I have a 2,5 and 16 yr old who will be in yr 12 when we move up... Any areas to avoid ? High schools to avoid ? We were going to wait a couple of years but were now thinking why wait... Looking forward to our new adventure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
