Yeah, that would be interesting to learn where is it (Gold Coast?), how far is it from a city and how expensive it is to rent a house in the area?
It certainly can go private. I’m just packing my suitcases to head over to OZ later this year or the probably next year and checking my options. So far, Melbourne and suburbs looked like a great choice.
@ Katz (And Other) Tales: it’s on the Tweed River in the Northern Rivers District, New South Wales, Australia - this little riverside beach is about 2 minutes walk from our front door.
@ June - not complaining
@ Aleksey: Gold Coast is both a city (rather spread out) and a name loosely used for a strip of coast in South East Queensland and (for some) the adjacent beach-focused area of Northern New South Wales. Atlhough technically a city, Gold Coast is not what a lot of people would call a city - the nearest of those is Brisbane, about an hour and a quarter away, State capital of Queensland. This map shows where the Gold Coast civic centre is - http://tinyurl.com/5wqtb9.
I’m up with latest rents but I’m pretty sure they are less expensive than anywhere in or near central Melbourne. A lot of Russians live on the Gold Coast, especially in an area called the Sovereign Islands (need lots of money to live there) - see articles http://tinyurl.com/5sr4b5 and http://tinyurl.com/69965d - but we are at the other (southern) end of the Gold Coast.
Thanks for info, Des! Visa people are still keeping silence (for 5 months now), but I know it usually takes 10-12 months. All I can do for now is collecting and processing data.

Glad you are finally making the move.
@ Trish: I did not catch anything on the day but it is certainly a relaxing spot.

Hi Des,
I am reminded of fishing in Alaska’s Tsui River for salmon
