Hiya Dolly and all

Being new to this forum I have found your thread very informative and it covered more-or-less everything that we would be asking. Me and the family (2 kids 14yr girl & 7yr boy) are hoping to move to Strathpine, QLD before the end of this year. Do you know about this area, on whether or not Strathpine is a good area to bring up kids, my Hubby, Mark was concerned if it was touristy and less amenities for the kids. Even though his work is in Strathpine we are lucky in the fact that we can locate anywhere near this even as far as Brisbane if need be. Any info would be appreciated.

Can anyone also advise if my old e-mail accounts such as aol, hotmail etc still would still work in OZ. I am assuming that anything with .com is world-wide and that it wouldn't have been a problem. If not which email accounts are better to migrate.

thanks

Satty

Hi Dolly,

I really am amazed at your sense of details and the information posted is really useful as a ready reconker for someone moving from UK to Australia.

I was just qurious to know if you noticed any major difference between UK and Australia, I mean what you like and don't like in both countries.

How do you find primary/secondary education in Australia as compared to UK?

Thanks in Advance

If you search through the main threads you'll find answers to those questions especially for the first part
