calNgary Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Bribie is lovely ,so if you can get a job on the island you will be laughing as its finding work near by that prevents lots of familys from moving there. The bridge in and out of Bribie can be a nightmare if theres an accident etc and the highway once you are out can be another pain, especially if heading towards Brisbane. They are currently offering some very reasonable house packages too so have a look at realestate.com to see what you can get for your money, i don't think you will dissapointed.

Guest Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Always see the house and land with marina berth adverts on motorway for 400k ish. So should be able to park your boat safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsb21 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 If we could find work near or on Bribe we would go like a shot. Its such a lovely area has a great reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QPRMARK Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Bribie is a lively area, my mother and father in law live there, it's where we will base ourselves (if and when my visa is granted) until we find our feet! I even got married on the beach at Woorim in 2012! Done a little bit of research about work, and will investigate further in due course ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiapoilady Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 We are looking at living at Bribie Island, as my hubby can base himself anywhere, and I will be working near North Lakes, I know that's a bit of a commute but I don't mind, too be able to live in a wonderful place, I'm so excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiapoilady Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Thanks for that Cal, I had never even looked at that area. This is one of the reason's I enjoy this site, so helpful and honest. Much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johndoe Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Also take a look at Murrumba Downs. Look at the street views on google. Classy estate on the southern side with southern part having access to water sports with it's own ramp (pine river).............. expensive but. Northern bits more affordable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
