Very cool! You will so love meeting up with everyone there!

When we lived in Brisbane we lived in Mt Gravatt. It was on public transport, and by highway only about 20 minutes to Brisbane. They also had a special dedicated bus lane so the bus trip into Brisbane was really really fast. That direction might be a good place to look.

If you want to be close to the city AND organics look into Windsor. On Northey Street is the Organic Market every weekend which is great. There's a train into the city just north of there, and good buses too.

West End is also lovely and has a few great health food stores, lots of vegetarian options, and a real fun arty atmosphere (ie dance classes, capoeira etc) AND stores that defrost durian each day to have it ready for customers that MUST have it right away. That alone should tell you how great an area it is! West End is a walk across the river literally from downtown, theres good buses too. There's a weekend market in the West End too that has some organics.

Good luck with the relocation... how exciting as I take it this means he'll be working from home too not out at the mines?

Much love,
Sheryl

Okay, I know this is more of a selfish suggestion....what about Dakabin?!!!  Yes, it's about 30kms from the city; yes, it IS closer to me; yes, it may not suit YOUR needs; yes, it WILL suit MY needs; yes, I'll have someone who I can talk to who doesn't think I'm a nutter for trying to aspire to a raw vegan lifestyle!! 

Kidding.

It will be great to have you come to this side of the country.....and hopefully meet up in person.  Good luck with your house-hunting.

Luv
