Not heaps, really. We were in Australia earlier this year (the whole family - me, my husband and both kids), we traveled from Adelaide to Brisbane, with a lot of stops on the way. Brisbane was our favourite for many reasons, although we wouldn't rule out anywhere we went, really.

I've been to Oz 3 times now, my husband went over on a working visa 10 years ago and completely loved it and has wanted to live there ever since, and the kids coped with the heat and change in lifestyle very well, so we decided to go for it.

Are Thornlands and Alexandra Hills good areas? I haven't heard about many bad ones, really (my brother-in-law lived in Brisbane for about 2 years, and loved it - a lot better than Sydney where he's based).

Have you and your family been many times before?
