Im trying to find out which stores stock Fly Peacock Clothing on the Gold coast ?
Im looking to buy some of the basics they are so comfortable .

I have just moved to Brisbane and am staying in Nundah temporarily. I have just had an interview for a job in Carindale, I was not intending to look for work anywhere other than the CBD or Northside as my sister lives North and I am more familiar with this side of the river. But jobs proved hard to find and I had to cast the net a bit further! So, I am wondering what the best thing would be to do if I did get this job - Where to live and transportwise what would be cheaper.

Should I live on the Southside and commute by public transport or car, OR stay North so im closer to my sister and the city for social convenience, and drive over toll bridges to get to Carindale. I had to get a train and bus today, which was fine but it took an hour! And would cost about $10 return I think, with a GO card.
Tolls, GO card charges, commute time, social life, working around the Brisbane river its all a bit of a logistical nightmare haha.
Basically I just want to be within about half an hour of work, dont mind paying a little for transport costs - I will be working in the westfield mall so I doubt I could park right at work anyway, bus would be an option or park somewhere free and walk. Don't have a car at moment but will get one once job is sorted.

Hello, Me and the soon to be wife will be taking a 15 day holiday road tripping from the Gold Coast to Cairns to see the Great Barrier Reef in January of 2014. We're going up the coast in a caravan/camper and we're looking for places to eat, sleep, drink and have fun.
We both love to hike, surf, drink, and lay on the beach to let the sun burn off our hangovers.
Also, what places could we stay at along the way? We been to caravan parks that are loaded with kids and crotchety couples, we're looking for a more laid back atmosphere, would love to meet like minded people along the way.
Please reply back, thanks.

me and my friend will be arriving in Sydney next february, and plan to travel and work up East Coast via greyhound.

any ideas how long we should stay in Sydney to begin with and should we stay in different hostels? how long should we stay in the first one for? a week or so?

My friends and I are traveling to Gold Coast for the first time in June 2013. Bought tickets already! But we haven't got any idea of where to stay! Surfers paradise is always recommended when I survey online. So SP it is. Could you please please recommend where to stay in SP? A convenient hotel or an apartment which is affordable? For 4 adults? Thank you so much for any feedback.

Can someone point me in the direction of where I can find a travel companion (strictly platonic) for a cruise in Australia? I'm an American Italian in my mid 30's and my parents lived in Australia for nearly 20 years before moving to the states and I'd like to visit the area they lived (Melbourne and Adelaide). I'm thinking a trip on Celebrity around the December time frame. I would appreciate any recommendations be e-mailed to me @ giodoc1@gmail.com.

Thank you,

Hi I'm travelling to Sydney in December and looking to find some accommodation pretty central for 3/4 weeks from 16th Dec. Wondering if anyone knows any relatively cheap housing suitable for backpackers for me and potentially a few fellow travellers I'm meeting over there. Many thanks

I am planning to go to Perth on 10th June till 14th June. I will be traveling with my hubby, my elderly parents and my 2 sons. May I know what is the best way to go around in Perth…public transport or hire a car? We are planning to stay in Perth City. ..not sure this is a good idea or not…any suggestion? May I know any budget accommodation for 6 of us in Perth City?…. Preferably apartment type.

Hi!

I'm booking flights to Australia in the next few days, to go for 3 weeks in late Oct/early Nov. First time I've been (and as you'll see from this post) I'm a complete novice!

I think I want to fly into Sydney - but, where do I go from there?! Money is tight, so although I want to travel as much as possible I can't go too crazy with internal flights (unfortunately, I don't drive and neither does my travel buddy).

I was thinking of heading to Cairns? Is there enough there/the surrounding area to keep us occupied for the majority of our stay? Could we incorporate Fraser Island into this plan?

OR should I ditch this idea completely, and go London-Melbourne, and explore this area instead?!

Would really appreciate any advice that will help me make the most of my trip :) Thank you!

Hello all!

I am moving to London on a 2 year working visa in July and am wondering whether I should take a suitcase or a backpack over? I would be staying in hostels until I could find a share house to move into. Not sure which would be more practical?

Thanks

my question is traveling alone in Melbourne is safe for girls or not..?

Hi all I'm new to the forum and was just looking for some advice,
About 2 months ago I obtained a 1 Year Working Visa for Australia and am due to travel there at the end of June from the UK.
My passport became slightly damaged since then and only had a year and a half left on it so I decided its proabbly best just to renew it before leaving. I didn't realise at the time but the passport number also changes with this new passport which is attached to my Australian visa.

What is the best thing to do here and has anyone had a similar experience?
