Moving to brisbane from Manchester, England

[Cheryl D]

Hiya,
I`m very new to this website and came accross it on a search engine. I`m very impressed with all the threads. The things to do lists from Dolly are brill!!
I was wondering if anyone has any useful info about settling in Brisbane. My husband is an Aircraft Engineer and we have full residency visa`s and are hoping to be in Brisbane in the New Year. He`ll probably be based at the airport with his job and therefore we`d like to settle not too far from there but obviously not as close that we have loads of aircraft noise. Can anyone recommend any suburbs, schools etc that I can look into?
Gosh it`s scary sorting everything out but I can`t wait. I have 2 children age 10 & 8 who are excited too
Cheers!

Hi there Cheryl,

Welcome to the forum.

There are quite a few people here looking to move to Brisbane...I'm sure they can pass on some useful info.

If you haven't already found it, here's a good school website The Queensland Education System

Also the BCL website Brisbane Schools and Education in Brisbane Queensland Australia gives you details of independent schools, state schools, TAFEs etc
