Yeah nice place B-Man... When I moved down from up north bout 8 yrs ago, the choices were Sunny Coast or Gold Coast... Either is good IMO... As Gary says tho, Sunny seems a bit more laid back - a little bit more "small town" feel to it... Goldy is a bit more hustle and bustle - big city life, etc...
Work prospects are probably slightly better at the Gold Coast, but you always have the option of commuting to Brisbane from Sunny or Goldy...
IMO, once you get north of Sunny Coast, things start getting a little bit "two heady" for my liking...
HTH
