Guest Rbecca Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Hello. I'm having a great time finding out info from this forum - I only joined today but I can see myself checking in regularly. I finally sent off my residency application to Adelaide a couple of weeks ago after months of collecting paperwork, but I have been told that it may take six months before any processing action is taken. Please tell me it doesn't really take that long! I was in Queensland at Easter and visited north of Brisbane and liked the look of the Scarborough and Redcliffe area, although Narangba looked cheaper and was nearer to the Bruce Highway so an easy commute to Brisbane if needed. I am a primary teacher and may have to supply until I get something more permenent so I want to have good access to loads of places (not that I'm great with a map mind you!) Let me know about any of the above ramblings and I'd be most grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally for convenience, crime rate etc I would be giving all of the above areas a miss (keep them for w/end visits), and be looking at the northside suburbs of Paddington, Milton, Clayfield, Ascot, Newstead or Hamilton.

ChrisH1 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hello to all Australians I have been offered a position in a Hospital in Southport Queensland. I am just wishing to enquire whether anyone knows of commutable rural areas near this suburb which would be good for kids? Thanks for any assistance offered Sharon How rural and how far are you prepared to travel? I lived on the GC in 2007, so I am somewhat out of date. But I found the following information sites from GC City Council very useful in helping decide where to live: http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/t_standard.aspx?pid=250 http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/attachment/people_and_communities/older_people.pdf http://atlas.id.com.au/Default.aspx?id=292&pg=2005 http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/t_standard.aspx?pid=3168 http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/t_standard2.aspx?pid=3162 Rural (by my definition) starts west of a line drawn from Maudsland to Advancetown. Note though as you go higher the weather gets MUCH colder. With snow in some parts in winter! So typical GC weather patterns are not representative of the area. Have a look at Google Maps by map and satellite to get a clearer idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
