After way too long on the FIFO/DIDO scene Kirsty and I have decided to pull up stumps and relocate to Brisbane.

I will now become a latte sipping corporate junkie in the company head office and Kirsty will be doing something similar.

So to all of you in the SEQ corner of God's Country you might as well start your liver detox diet now as there will be some serious  :cheers:  :cheers:  :cheers: going on in the not too distant future!!

Start in mid May, but still hunting for a permanent place to live.  Will probably just rent something for 6 months while scouting the market.

Great to hear Symon. ;D Looks like we'll catch up for a few more beers during camping weekends.  :D :D I also hear the rental market is better on the NSW side of the border, cleaner air, clearer water, better tracks. >:D >:D

Symon  You have decided to join the 20th century , slowly , Zipping in to Brisvagus is almost as good as 1959 in the  real world .  They got Lecke Lights at the flick of a switch down there but no daylight saving as yet . Enjoy  ;D

Nicely negotiated.  HQ Corporate Latte Licker!  Brilliant.

Well now you'll have to peruse my blog for those excellent places to position the camper as a weekend warrior!

I vote 'eastside'.

Must be something in the air, although we will be leaving Brisbane for parts north, but a bit further than the Basin, possibly the Isa or East Kimberlies if things go according to plan :cup:

I hope you enjoy your time in the big smoke Symon.

Congrats on the change Symon. I hope it works out well for you both.

As an ex-Brisbanite, I vote for south side, aka the "Keepin' it real" side 8). They keep the latte-sipping X5 drivers north of the river these days. To be honest though, I could quite easily live somewhere bayside, so long as it's near a train line.

Good luck!
Matto :)
