HI everyone
We will be moving to Brisbane sometime in the New Year. Have been in Perth for three years, my DH is from Perth, living in the western suburbs. We like Perth in general, move is pretty work-related. There are two things we haven't enjoyed: the absence of day trippable interesting things to do (which we think will be better in BRis) and aspects of school. Our kids go to a lovely local state school but with very few two parent working families in it (probably due to the demographics of the area). Parents are all lovely but i would like to swim in a sea with a few more similar fish, IYKWIM.
So, Brisbanites: tell me about why I will love and not love Brisbane.Tell me about the humidity. Is it really that bad? I have to say i loathe summer in Perth, the relentless march of days over 35 gets so wearing, but the rest of the year is gorgeous.
Tell me also about schools. DH will be working in the CBD and I will be working near UQ. We are looking at the non-flooding bits of Paddington, Bardon, Indoorooplilly, St Lucia, Chelmer and Graceville. Would like kids to go to a state primary on arrival
We know approximately 3 people in Brisbane so it's all a bit of an adventure (!!)
