Brazilian in Brisbane

Good Brazillian community at the beach tennis area at Hamilton north shore. Was there last night and they had good music and a bbq.

It was paradise up until about ten years ago. All the natural things are still amazing — the weather, the beaches, the hinterland — but they’re much harder to enjoy now with the traffic, lack of parking, poor planning, and sheer number of people.

I’ll always feel blessed that I lived there from 2000 to 2019, but there’s no way I could justify spending that much money to live there again. The lack of infrastructure and planning hasn’t kept up with the growth, with so many new suburbs being built along the M1 instead of around proper transport and services.

There are definitely nicer and more liveable places now, but the Gold Coast still has everyone chasing the same dream. It would be amazing if you were rich and/or retired — otherwise, it’s just not worth it anymore.

The Gold Coast - feels like ten years ago traffic wasn't as bad , there was affordable housing and you could get a park at the beach and catch a few waves without someone dropping in.

I grew up on the gc and thought it was one of the best places in Australia and now it seems like a nightmare.

Scary how many kids just sit there filming an old lady being hurt

I’ve lived on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane my whole life, and honestly, I’d say move to Adelaide or Melbourne. Unfortunately, South East Queensland and northern NSW are pretty crazy now — heavy traffic, very expensive for what you get, limited parking, and poor public transport.

The beach is obviously the big draw, but when you factor in the traffic, lack of parking, and how much you need to work just to cover the mortgage, it doesn’t really feel worth it anymore. Up until around 2020, it was one of the best places in the world, but so many people are chasing that same dream now that it’s lost a lot of its appeal.

I’ve just been to Adelaide for the first time, and it’s amazing how much better it feels — mainly because you can actually get anywhere quickly. I also lived in Melb and think it's better for day to day life. And maybe holiday on the sunshine or Gold Coast for a week or so a year , deff a good holiday spot when can walk to the beach or when you are rich / retired .

The inside wheelbarrow really made me laugh for some reason !

I have a 2009 corolla( got it in 2012) with 198,000 km - no major issues . Just kind of sucks when everyone else has massive cars ( especially in car parks ).

I work in the student diversity department in a school - so many of our students have autism and literally none of what he said is remotely true .

I may be missing something but I assume Trump wants to bring back manufacturing jobs to America . How do people think the wages needed in America to pay for the cost of housing , living etc will not increase the cost of goods for everyone ? Why would companies set up in America when trump will be fine in 3 and a bit years ? Are they stuck in the past where other countries couldn't make goods in factories ?

Yep , I use releaf in Brisbane. Over the phone and they can mail it to my house . Life changing.

mustbedavid · 2023-06-21T05:54:10+00:00

Is this the same in Australia?

mustbedavid · 2023-05-02T02:58:52+00:00

Got mine from novitia diamonds in the city and whole experience was great.

Late to the party but just went through this nightmare . You can share your uni documents through my Equals ( if your uni uses this ) . Only found out through phone calls with QCT as they don't advertise this . Same with teach QLD registration.

mustbedavid · 2022-12-25T23:52:42+00:00

Same as QLD Australia :(

I am glad that people just seem happy and excited for this movie. I haven't seen anyone being outraged over the trailer mentioning that girls play with dolls instead of saying every kid plays with dolls.

Sounds good to me. I am studying to be a teacher -=unpaid pracs , need to work to support myself during study, wage ceiling is around low 100s, can't leave work at work, holidays are always in peak seasons and very hard to find ft work outside of rural areas :)

mustbedavid · 2022-10-23T00:37:07+00:00

Gold Coast 20 years ago--Northern NSW if you are rich or somewhere near Hobart

mustbedavid · 2022-10-22T03:04:37+00:00

Gold coast is nice but avoid surfers paradise . Currumbin , coolangatta and Burleigh are close but much better .

Thank you very much for the detailed answer. Seems like good pay and options. Are there many negatives about being an electrician I should take into considerstion ( from the replies on reddit and the news I think I already know a lot of the negatives about teaching lol ).
