Hey im moveing to australia at the end of the year and i want to no the best places to go. im a digger driver and have been told that brisbane is the best place to go for night life and work is this true. I have been on this site before askin about work but i have been told by a lot of people since that brisbane is the place to go. gav

Yep gavsta, I think the advice given to you previously was based on where there'd be good chances to pick up work, and also that had locations near the coast, and Brisbane with a lot of water and other infrastructure development planned is one such place, and you have the sunshine coast to the north and gold coast to the south, there being a desalination plant planned for down there, and it along with the sunshine coast are the two most rapidly expanding regions of SE Queensland and Queensland as a whole.

Nightlife - Brisbane has one larger area called Fortitude Valley with a heap of pubs, bars, clubs and cafes all in the one area and then there are a few other stand alone pubs of some renown, so though you haven't got the scope of Sydney or Melbourne just merely because of population differences, the place is not devoid of nightlife venues.
You've also got the gold coast less than a 100km. down the road where you could always tootle off to for a weekend.
Sunshine Coast is a quieter more layback scene, but be worth a look around too.

Think about Perth or even the Territory too - WA is just crying out for any type of skilled worker in construction, trades, mining etc - and its a lot less humid than Brissie!

Lis Moving to Australia

hi gavsta,

Australia has so many great places to visit when you move here and it is so difficult to choose among them. You can check out Sydney - Sydney has many attractions and a great setting in which to enjoy them. The city's harbor features the spectacular Opera House, the Rocks (the original penal colony in Australia), Darling Harbor, and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Add in some great beaches (Bondi, Chinaman's) and equally fun shopping ( in the market for an Opal?).
