I'm off to Queensland!

#1 Post by pushbutton » Wed Jan 07, 2015 7:20 pm

Today I was offered a job transfer to Queensland, where I've been wanting to live for at least 7 years.

It's a bit scary, but extremely exciting!

I might still keep an eye on this site, at least for a while. After all I have spent 25 years of my life here.

To those on this forum who've been respectful of my ideas and opinions THANKS!

To those who haven't, thanks for putting up with me!

Congratulations on the offer. Whereabouts in Queensland are you headed?

I moved to Central Queensland back beginning of 2012 before temporarily being sent to New Zealand late last year.

Thanks AG. I'll be somewhere around Coomera probably.

You'll be back. They always come back!

Take care, dude! Make sure to visit the Gold Coast as much as possible! That will most definitely be right up your alley!

I'll be about 20 minutes from the Gold Coast. I'll be there every weekend!

I never say never. But right now I can't imagine any reason I'd ever want to leave once I'm there.

It's paradise. (Quite literally)!!

I fully expect I'll be within a few inches of numerous large sharks on a very regular and frequent basis.

Fortunately, there will be a few inches of glass between me and the sharks (at Sea World)!

The Gold Coast surrounds are simply beautiful. Burleigh Heads is great for a scenic walk, while the hinterland is simply breathtaking.

Gold Coast itself is only good for a seedy drunken weekend or family holidays.

I wish you all the best.

I just hope that the "novelty factor" of the Gold Coast doesn't wear off and you continue to enjoy it.

Thanks. Honestly, I have a list of about 50 amazing things I've never yet done that I know I can do there. That's as well as the things I've already done numerous times and can't wait to do again, and again, and again, and again, and again!

The place is just awesome!

I don't do seedy or drunk, but it will definitely be one long, long family holiday of non stop fun and entertainment!


Oh, and I guess I'll also have to work!

Have a good time up there.
A mate recently left for Queensland, he's in Brisbane. He's loving it, and contrary to what others say, he wont be coming back.
