Any of you boys from QLD live near or around Burleigh and able to give me the low down on living in the area?

The wife and kids fancy a sea change and they're pretty keen on Burleigh as they've heard great things.

I'm happy if I can get to surf everyday

5 mins away,list up what you and the family are looking for in the sea change and I'll do my best to fill you in.

+1 ^^ Dont rush in to Burleigh mate check half an hour drive South

Move to nerang mate.

Thanks Mac,

I guess the main things are:

Is it realistic to commute to Brisbane everyday from Burleigh? Car or PT
Is it a nice place to bring up kids (2 under 4) with plenty to do?
Does it get crazy busy with tourists?
Whats the community like ie. age demographic, feel of the place, pace

We would obviously have a trip up there before jumping in with both feet, but just keen to get a locals thoughts up front.

Thanks again Mac, really appreciate it.

from what i understand mac burleigh boarder riders have closed their books unless your a ****hot kid or junior.

that club is rolling in dough, but they work hard

also it a tough gig to be considered a local at burleigh, not that i get into the stuff.

its all free in my books

Burleigh is great for a Sup.
The locals actually encouarge more Sups.
Just make sure you are a black belt at something.

just sit on the outside of the pack and drop in You'll get to meet a lot of people and they'll always remember you
