Hi all

We are now on the waiting game for our visa to be granted (permanent skilled) and have a job based near woolloongabba.
Does anyone have any knowledge on the following areas to live ..schools and outdoors stuff important to entertain a 6yr and 3yr old

coorparoo
carina
carindale
Tingalpa
and a bit further out Marsden

any advice would be great

Steve and clare and kids :laugh:

thanks for your input ... all help gratefully recieved as we were coming out to brisbane in oct but the holiday got chhanged and had to cancel so will be just turning up when the visa gets granted......(which can't happen quick enough)

 

Whip onto www.ourbrisbane.com (?.au) and you can look up all the info that you need

 

Too right! It can't come quick enough!!

Try areas such as Springfield, Springfield Lakes and Forest Lake - Very Nice Areas according to my Future Boss in Oz!!

 

Springfield is lovely ,still quite new with new schools and uni ,huge new shopping centre and still handy to ipswich centre or Brisbane City.
Forest lakes is a bit older and some parts show this but still a decent family area ,good schools ,easy access to the city and popular with poms and aussies.
Out of the two id go for Springfield Lakes but all are worth a look.

Hi mike here hoping to get to brisbane in feb, I have a wife and 3 children was looking at the coomera area and wondering if that would be a nice area for a family to settle in.

 

Coomera and upper coomera are lovely places ,ive had a couple of familys settle there and they are very happy ,one has just bought a house at coomera waters and they love it ,definately worth putting on your list for places to check out. Pacific Pines and Oxenford are also quite popular.
