Guest Jules Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hi Charmaine Welkom by die forum Glad to see someone heading Brisbane way! We stay about 40kms outside Brisbane in Jimboomba and have been here for a year and four months and love it so far. As far as weather is concerned, it is a lot like Durban, lovely weather but it gets very humid between November and February but it's bearable. Most houses have airconditioning. Winter is lovely, no humidity and daytime temps of around 23 degrees.Public transport is safe and reliable. I don't use it very often to be honest but a lot of people living closer to the city use it to commute. As for the city itself, a good site to look at is ourbrisbane.com to get an idea of the place, the different suburbs and amenities etc. See you around on the forum!Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatterbug Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) Hi And welcome Charmaine!Ek hoop julle aansoek proses gaan voor die wind. Ek is van Brisbane en woon al 2,5 jaar hier. Brisbane is 'n pragtige stad wat gebou is in 'n paar kronkels van die Brisbane rivier - dit word "the river city" genoem omdat die rivier so 'n integrale deel daarvan vorm. Dis die 3de grootste stad in Australie. Gelee in Suid-Oos Queensland en in die middel van die Gold coast (+- 60 - 80 km suid en die 6de grootste stad in Australie) en die Sunshine coast na die noorde (omtrent 70 - 80 km). Die weer is baie gematig en een van die stede met die meeste sonskyn dae in Australie. Die hele Suid Oos QLD is 'n gewilde bestemming vir "migrasie" van die suidelike state - mense wat wil kom "aftree" of net 'n meer rustige en bekostigbare lewe wil kom lei in 'n goeie en warm klimaat. Publieke vervoer is goed, bekostigbaar en daar is meestal opsies in die tipe wat jy wil gebruik (taxi, bus, trein, ferry). Daar is baie baie Sa'ners hier en een van die meer gewilde bestemmings vir immigrasie (binnelands en buitelands). Hoop dit help as 'n oorsig, vra maar gerus meer spesifieke goed en ek sal my bes doen!LekkerblyBrissie BUG Edited July 7, 2006 by chatterbug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindy-Lee Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Howsit girl!

Wag in spanning om van jou te hoorLiefde vir jou ma. Lindy-Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laat waai maar met die vrae.....Hi daar Ons bly nou maar eers 5 jaar in Brackenfell. Ek het in 1989 matriek geskry. Was daai tyd in Tygerberg Hoer Handel skool.My man is gekwalifiseer as n elektriese passer (electrical fitter/millwright), maar hy kan enige ding doen. Op die oomblik is hy werkloos, sukkel al 3 maande om werk te kry. Hy kan werk kry, maar dan wil hulle hom (appy pay) betaal en hy is al lankal gekwalifiseerd. Op die oomblik werk hy van die huis of, bou diewering en sulke goed.Die forum is GREAT, net jammer ek het nou eers van julle uitgevind Dankie aan almal van julle met die hulp so ver, glo my ek gaan nog baie vrae vir julle vraCharmaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamcatcher Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi Charmaine,Sterkte met die proses. Dis darem erg frustrerend as mens gekwalifiseerd is, en nie kan werk kry nie, veral vir 'n man. Dit verstom my nog steeds hier in Australië, as ek daagliks in die strate advertensies sien vir poste. In omtrent elke winkel is daar 'n bord wat adverteer vir werk. Hoop julle goed kom gou deur.Groetnis,Dreamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
