I live in Brisbane, I emigrated here from Ireland nearly 5 years ago, Brisbane is a great place to live, beautiful weather and city and the people are fine. Houses are getting expensive around the city but not compared with the other big cities. I would recommend it as a place to move to

I would have to disagree with Forky. If you want to find employment and good wages then move to Brisbane. Living on the coast can be just as expensive but the majority of the wages are higher in Brisbane.
To get from the Gold Coast to Brisbane takes a good hour of travelling (more in a train).
I moved up here from Melbourne over three years ago. It is a smaller city and very laid back but with over a thousand people moving up each week it is becoming more and more popular.
Real estate is getting more expensvie, but no-where near as high as Melbourne/Sydney and now even Perth...

I live in Brisbane too, its a great smallish city. Very hot in summer, not too cold in winter. Close to the gold coast and sunshine coast. Its pretty laid back and friendly. All of the good bands come here when they tour Australia. Its a very safe city, we dont have that much violence. The thing I really love about brisbane is the parks, everywhere I've lived I have always been close to a good big park to take my dog too or go jogging in.

I emigrated here also - Few years ago now. Australia and maybe Canada have to be the best places on earth for lifestyle quality. Brisbane is the best city in australia also (just my opinion) - you didnt say where you live but if you live in the USA or UK you will love it here. Big hairy spiders though heres what the wiki says......Heteropoda maxima males can attain a legspan of 250–300 mm (9.8–11.8 in) – and a bit fearsome-looking.
cute but hey it can't be perfect

ive been there many times to visit friends and i would have to say its not one of my favourite places just a bit dull for my liking,a big city that seems 10yrs behind say melb or sydney ,if i was to live up in Q.L.D id be looking to live on the coast.
this is just my opinion im sure others love it.

The majority of the people are really friendly and we have some really nice sights here. I recommend the beaches. They're pretty nice.
