My girls gonna be doing her 5 year veterinary doctorate at Gatton starting this year so I'm going to have to move to Toowoomba before years end. How hard is is to find work there and whats the rent situation like?

All depends on what type of work your looking for? As for renting, I am unsure but when friends have been looking for places to rent they always seem to find a place fairly easy.

Cane toads.

Cane toads, that's a pro, very good practice for your golf swing

Avoid Noosa, it's full of hippy bohemian people... Freaks me out lol

noosa is just fine, all the hippies live at eumundi and cooroy. they come into noosaville to shop a bit, but if you're over noosa heads way, or further down the coast at coolum or peregian then you are close to the beach (quieter beaches than noosa), close to noosa as well as maroochydore/alex heads/mooloolabah, etc. it's a pretty good spot to be only 10 or 20 mins from everywhere. and because all the people who want to try and pretend they have money want to live around noosa heads, etc, then the prices are pretty decent too. not that much traffic either. brisbane traffic sucks (like all major city traffic), but the sunny coast is much better.

Yes Brisbane traffic sucks...still a lot better than Sydney though. You need to rank our priorities Luke, the sunny coast is a lovely place to live but has a much smaller car scene and is quite a way away from tracks and drags. Brisbane is not as nice but has a much bigger scene and is a lot closer to tracks. Either way the Skyline scene up here is a fair bit smaller than what you have in Sydney.

Even then, it all depends on where you live and where you work when in Brisbane. For example, my commute has about 4 traffic lights, a bit of highway driving and taeks 15 minutes. Not bad at all.

takes me 45 to 50 mins to drive 63kms from gympie to noosa for work everyday....... i'd much prefer to do that than sit in traffic in brissy for 45 mins and only go half that distance.

BUT, you have to live in Gimpy

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
