ninamorley Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi All Just thought I'd say hello. My name Nina, I'm married to Marcus and we have 4 year old twins and a 14 year old daughter .We have just arrived in Buderim (we've been here a week now). We have been in Australia for just over 5 years (have been living in Adelaide up till now) We came to the Sunshine Coast last year on Holiday and fell in love with the place so thought we'd give it a go (you only like once and all that). It was a pretty big deal up routing the kids, in fact I was more apprehensive about the move to Queensland than I was about moving to Australia in the first place. But now we are here I am loving it, Buderim is a beautiful place. We are still heavily reliant on SatNav to get around but I did find my way to the post office and back today without it so feeling very proud of myself lol. Any way, we know nobody here so if any one would like to befriend a newby family of 5 we'd be grateful! Nina & Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'll find some friends in time, keep an eye open for toddler groups for you and the twins to go to. You'll make friends at school easily i'm sure too.

kellmer Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hey Nina I have been on Alexandra Headland for just over a year now. Buderim is a great place, I'm sure you are loving it. I go to a playgroup, which would be good for the twins (I think there's 4 sets of twins that go there), its on Wises Road, Maroochydore at the Lifepointe church. It is open on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday from 9:30 - 11:30. You will meet lots of people there, everyone is very friendly. If you are looking to rent or buy a property, give me a shout. I work for Mink Property in Mountain creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninamorley Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hey Kell Thanks for the info. I will definitely check out the play group. We have been here just over 2 weeks and its already starting to feel like home. I took the twins to the playground near the Alex Surf club today they loved it! We have already bought a house, in fact we bought it while we were still in SA with out even seeing it! fortunately we were very happy when we finally saw it the other week.

kellmer Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yea that playground at Alex is our local, as that is where we live... Moving interstate and buying a house without seeing it is very common so you're not alone haha.. Glad you like the property, there are some beauties in Buderim.

toast72 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hi there! Sounds an exciting time for your family. We have considered doing the doing the same. Really interested to see how life in the SC compares with Adelaide? Particularly with jobs, cost of living and house prices. I bet the winter weather is better than here in Adelaide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninamorley Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi Toast72 Yes it's been very exciting and a little stressful. But we love it here, Buderim is beautiful and centrally located. There is so much to do. We have been on the beach most days even in winter. The twins were in the sea on Monday it was 23 degrees! Cost of living seems similar to Adelaide, although we haven't had any bills yet so time will tell. There is no mains gas here so I am expecting the electric to be higher, but that said we haven't had to have the heating on as it is so much warmer than Adelaide. Houses are more expensive than Adelaide. We have just bought a 4 bed without a pool and it cost us $550K. Not sure about jobs, I've not started looking yet. I'm a registered nurse and there are a few hospitals locally so I am sure I will find something. Feel free to PM me if there is anything else I can help with. Nina Hi there!

drstu Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hi Nina, It would be great to know how you're finding things. We're currently planning the move from the UK to the Sunshine Coast with 3 children, at the time we move they'll be 6, 5 and 1. How have you found the community for settling into and what have schools been like? With best wishes, Stu Hi Toast72 Yes it's been very exciting and a little stressful.

Kymmbo Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi Nina, we are Kymm, Liam and Indi (4) from scotland, we've been here for 3 weeks, living in meridan plains (sort of north/west caloundra). We originally were thinking of Adelaide but decided on somewhere warmer. Getting used to driving around now but still use google maps - not always easy as lots of new developments aren't on the map yet! Always keen to meet new people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
