Hi guys, I know this probably doesnt belong in here but I have been looking at transferring to Queensland for maybe a few years or even longer, will probably work on the gold coast, was just wanting to get an idea on what everyone thinks of the place, I have heard that QLD is a lot like WA, quite laid back etc...
Can anyone give me some suburbs to look at / stay away from for renting in Brisbane or the GC?

yeah if ya want laid back come to the GC, Brisbane can be a bit anal but then again so can GC cops! Nerang good for hinterland but Burleigh Heads if ya want close to the beach i reckon. Don't go anywhere near Surfers for apartment renting, traffic is a nightmare!

Just stay away from the Logan/woodridge area if you want to keep your car for more then 5 mins, that place is the ghetto! (sorry if anyone lives there )

I parked my old car at the hyperdome and walked in to get cash from an atm, walked out no more than 5 mins later to find a pile of smashed glass where my car HAD been.
Perry,Me and the other bro's in the hood really enjoyed drivin that car we borrowed off you. Sorry about leaving the glass(we normally clean up after our selves). The gangs called DCT (Dam Clean Thieves)

You should have enjoyed it. It was an ex track car and used to go like hell and handle like it was on rails. P.s. Can I have my $4k worth of car audio back now then?
