It's a popular place and, if I say so myself, quite a nice place to live - lots of different beaches, a real town centre and the closest to Brisbane of all the coastal towns on the Sunny Coast. The Koaka Konnection site will be adding to its small listings of accommodation quite soon I'm sure. Rentals are the domain of real estate agents in Australia, for the most part, so you can always contact any that you come across on the net searches that you'll bound to do. Child care is another issue and one I cannot help with because I know a nothing! Sparkys are sought after. There will probably be a little re-training or re-educating prior to full qualification but I doubt its anything to fear. They really like to look after electricians in Australia. I'm surprised we can fit plugs! On the job front try www.seek.com.au Furniture. Ours took about 6 weeks from memory. It depends how long it sits in the UK I suppose. If you're sharing a container that won't help, and customs is a necessary bind. Yes, I'd bank on 6 weeks at least. Do you have a name? Paul.

Shipping: ours is going today in a shared container and we have been told will take between 8 - 12 weeks to get to Brisbane. Friends who are having a sole container are also being quoted the same timespan. As we dont leave the UK for another 6 weeks, it will have had a good headstart.
