I am a qualified engineer living in the UK, myself and my family (wife and 2 boys) are planning to move to Brisbane in the next year. i would like help in obtaining as much information as i can about Schools, Jobs, where to live, etc,,,

I would also like to meet anyone who has the experience of living and working in Brisbane.

Any input to this very much appreciated

many thanks

meet me in my garage
bring money
My advice is as a starting point buy a Brisbane Explorer book, now in its 9th edition and a Zappy explorer. Stacks of info in them. We haven't moved yet but will be soon!

On Schooling
The info below is based to a 7 year old.

500AUDm for Entry Test
upon acceptance...you pay
2500AUDm for Admission Fee.
1000AUDm for insurance incase you son decides to eat the library book for lunch.
7000AUDm for 1 term (4months) payable in post dated cheques.

Be warn...kids will love the school life here..but not the parents.

There is way more holidays then actual school days.

I believe more then 155days in a year is a no school day.

Its really weird.
