Hi all
we have got our 457 visa (yippe!) and are busy booking flights, sorting out our house for rent in the uk as have been unable to sell, and are waiting to see how much its going to cost to ship our stuff across. handed our notice in at work and hope to be in Brisbane mid October to look for long term rental north of Brissey, buy two cars, sort school out for two girls aged 6 & 9, and begin work in Strathpine and Caboolture areas; not much to think about and organise then!!!!!
any words of encouragment and advice would be gratefully accepted!

Good Luck with everything guys, there are some nice suburbs North side so i am sure you wont have a problem finding a suitable area. The only thing you will need to be wary of is the school holidays at the beginning of October as most temp accommodation will get booked up early.

Cheers Cal, will look at motels/hotels, how long are the kids off school and when do they return?

Hi
This site tells you all the holidays. Just bear in mind , some private school holidays vary slightly to state schools, normally only by a few days or a week though.

Hi Tony and Marie

I just wanted to wish you all the best with your move. I bet your girls are really excited!!

If you are looking for temp accommodation, have a look at Takeabreak and Stayz - i am sure you will find something for you on one of those websites. You may want to consider a cabin at a caravan park as well.

Good luck with everything.

Love

Rudi

Thanks Rudi
Did not know about cabins and caravan parks I will explore that option, do you have any links?
We have looked at the Redlands Retreat which looks very nice however we will be in North Brissey for our jobs so its a no go unfortunately.

Hi Tony

Have a look at this one.... http://www.caravanvillage.com.au I think that's in the right sort of area.

Hope that helps
