Sandgate
Train to CBD beach on your back door

I'll tell my sister u think she hot.

Remora,

yep main kiting areas in Brisbane are Brighton / Sandgate and Nth Queens (aka Scarborough) northside and Wellington Point southside. You can't kite Nudgee cos its too close to the airport. Other than that its Sunny coast or Gold coast.

Public transport is pretty much non existant anywhere on the (Redcliffe) Peninsula but Brighton & Sandgate not exactly luxury housing either (no offence rusty so it kind of depends what your minimum housing requirements are, what time of day you'll be commuting, and what style riding you prefer.

Welcome to the sunshine state though

Guy77 - not taking offence but what's your definition of luxury? - see examples below:

To commute from Goldy or sunny is a real cuHnt of a thing (about hour and 30mins)

Pretty much all of Brisbane is a sh1thole when it comes to driving to the CBD from all directions.

Takes me a steady hour to drive from Redcliffe to the CBD in peak hour, but if you are traveling outside peak hour, it'll take you 35 to 40mins

But once you hit the bridge back into Redcliffe its well worth the hassle.

haha good call Paulio.

Dave I'm sure you can dig up a nice house or two in practically any suburb. I was generalising of course, but hey, at least its not Morayfield

G'day Guys - I'm new here to Brisbane as well and am also looking where to get amongst it all around here.
I'm looking at living in and around the Toowong, South of the city area - how far is it to Bribie, Sandgate or any areas from there? Or anywhere down south to go???????
