Guest diddydiddydondon Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Arrived with 3 youngish kids in Sunshine Coast/ Brisbane early Dec. Love the Sunshine Coast, nearly convinced to rent/buy. House prices very high, dont want to fall into big mortgage trap again. Oz is a fresh start away from rat race. Some friends fom Oz have said the above areas are really lovely for families. We would really value some wider opinions. Thanks:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron bay, Known locally as the drug area. Macksville, Nothing there for kids. Coffs Harbour, Very nice but very expensive. My appologies to PIO members who live in those areas, that is what my wife and step daughter tell me and they have lived there all their lives. I have never been. so shoot them not me....:biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
