i think what you mean to say is that you need to grow eyes in the back of your head. qld drivers in general are pretty terrible (no offence to anyone here)

i take huge offence to that qld drivers aint pretty terrible..... they're worse lol:thumbsup:
na mackay is a nice place though the cops can be a pain in the ass and theres alot of youth in rice cars that think they're hot ****:bang:

Cabarita Beach, or anywhere near it, is a gorgeous place to live. Just south of the NSW border - the beaches are long and straight like the Gold Coast, but nobody ever goes there.

I used to drive there all the time from Brisbane. Well worth the day trip.

My uncle sold his small house in Melbourne bought a few acres and house just outside Bunderberg and had money left over, only problem was I told him to buy a house with large mango trees so I can visit him when they are ripe but the house he got has none

pretty funny actualy,

ive lived in eagleby most of my life now, most of the people i know are on 100k plus a year jobs with multiple homes in the area. ive never had anything stolen, never seen anyone bashed, the list goes on and on and on. so to those who are baging out eagleby as a bad area, you can be quiet now. cause you just made yourself look like idiots.

when you refer to logan your refering to a region, logan is huge, it's like any suburb, you leave your car outside on the road unlocked with something nice inside, it will be pinched, you will get that with any surburb. brisbane is a huge area champ, im quite fond of wolfdine, it's nice scrub type area, sub rainforest setup. at the base of mt tambarine, with heaps of nice open land. but it's acerage, so expect to pay a fortune.

depends on what you have a feel for, and where you want to live, move up here, find a rental house, and drive around the place, find a nice surbur b, and do it that way.

I know Logan is a district as I work there and live there.
I work in forensics and have to attend burglaries/stolen vehicles/assaults/murders/stabbings/ etc etc and trust me on this the worst areas in the South-East are the Logan, Gold Coast, Inala and Ipswich area. (check the stats)
Not all suburbs are that bad, ie/ Shailer park, Daisy Hill, Tamborine etc...very very nice, however the Eagleby, Browns Plains (regents park/hillcrest, Boronia heights) areas are getting hammered at present with crime. (we are getting dozens of jobs daily in those suburbs...just the facts)
Just because you don't see it does not mean it does not happen!
If you could listen to a Police Radio over a weekend you would know what I mean!
Areas like Beenleigh are getting better, (I also used to live near there)

Every day in the Logan district there are at least a dozen burglaries, countless wilful damages to property/vehicles and plenty of assaults!
The Gold Coast gets hammered by drunken idiots in fights and damaging property around the CBD. So there stats look pretty bad!
You can say what you like about Logan etc, but if you do my job, you get to see the real side of many areas......helped a lot when we were buying our house!
But that said, crime happens everywhere, you just don't always see it!

Thanks for all the replys. I think we will be heading around the caboolture area. Its on the lower end of the budget for us, we also have a couple of friends there. Ive just been offered work in geebung and the wife in the city as well.

We have the online business too keep as well. Checked out insurances and it wont go up from our current payments. As it would in a few other suburbs we liked.

Yes there is in fact no complete SAFE place, but would rather try and stay away from HIGHER Risk areas.

Will do a bit more research and visit again before making mind up.

Cheers again

p.s might have to go for qld in the footy now!
