Brisbane Proper, Suburb Or ?…a Somewhat Clueless Couple Seeking A Retirement Spot?

July 9th, 2009

Wife and I have Au. residency visa, but plan on coming later this year. I understand Brisbane or one of her suburbs deserves a look. Other than Perth, which we visited briefly, we are utterly clueless about the country as a whole. We are concentrating on Melbourne or Brisbane suburbs, or nearby med size city. The best example of what we’re after is Christchurch NZ, in terms of public transport, well supplied food stores, and shopping.
Well, we DO like to eat.
And yes, shop. Sigh…my wife, anyway.
We plan on spending a period of no less than three months in the area which any kind heart may want to suggest to us. Here too, I suppose we would greatly appreciate some guidance. By this I mean that we will be seeking a better quality apartment which can be rented for said period.
A warm thank you in advance.
