Comments on: Moving to Brisbane http://noillusionspodcast.com/2008/02/05/moving-to-brisbane/ Science, atheism, politics, futurism, and a hard dose of the truth.

Hate to say it but all been a bit pearshaped. House prices have gone mad, we've given up buying and am trying to rent - renting just as hard. So still living with parents - shocker! Stay away from the western suburbs (where my parents are) commute is a nightmare, but might not worry you with your business. As far as we've concluded NewFarm and Paddington only suburbs to live in - or Bulimba if you want to cross river. Old brissy that I lived in 12 years ago has well and truly grown up! Unfortunately the government and subsequent infrastructure decisions haven't. Good luck - kids will love it - mine is now completely spoilt by grandma! Cheers HI

I suppose our meetup in Melbourne is your last day and I'm from Brissie anyway. haha Welcome back! Simon is right on. Depends where Belinda works. Where I live is a brand new school just opened last year with electronic whiteboards in each classroom, where each desk has a keyboard for the kids to write I mean type rude words on the board. At least that is what the local State member told me. Perfect for the kids of a geek father. I have impeccable timing Cam.

Hope you don't find Brisbane weather too humid after your time in Melbourne. Where you choose to live will probably be determined by Belinda's workplace location, Brisbane traffic is bad and getting worse. The Gateway Motorway and the Ipswich Motorway should be avoided for the next few years until they're both upgraded. Western suburb commuting will also be difficult.
