Good Place To Stay In Brisbane?

[Roy]

Just a quick question. If I was going to be working in Dorra for 6 months, where abouts in Brisbane should I be getting my employer to put me up?

Up to 25 min drive of a morning will be fine. Has to be a furnished apartment, and I have a $1000 week allowance which includes return flights to Melb and fuel when I’m up there, so I suppose about $700-750 a week.

Do I need to be asking for more money to get a nice place in a fun sociable area?

[dangerous_daveo]

Dorra or Darra?

And is that $700-750 meant to pay for food as well? If not god damn, you could get a heaps lush place.

If its Darra its actually away from the city. If you got a house out Forest Lake way, you would have hardly any traffic to work, and have $400 min a week left over out of that allowance. Just imagion the line after that!

[Roy]

Yeh probably Darra, I know its south of the city on Ipswich Road or something

[Guest Variable]

Get a nice furnished apartment at Kangaroo Point or New Farm. You're right in the city for fun and at the start of Ipswich road for the trip to work. You can easily do it in 25minutes outbound in the morning and it still won't cost you anywhere near $700 per week.

He will need $700 a week with us lot rocking round for beers all the time...

Darra, mate that's right next door to the outlaws where I'll be staying in a couple of months (Oxley), until I get a place to start work on.

Dammit, once I show you Brisbane you will not be wanting to move back to Melb or Syddley for a long time.

Think Forest Lakes or something like that. Around the Wacol development, or maybe I can quickly buy something, throw the hall runner near the garage down you are so fond of sleeping on and pocket the cash after giving you a bogus receipt to split the "rent"

[Roy]

One thing i know that is already wrong with QLD. Queensland Raceway

With tracks like Eastern Creek, Sandown, Wakefield, Oran Park, Phillip Island and Sandown all down south...i doubt QLD Raceway will hold my interest.

I am actually trying to get out of it at the moment, as the job is going to be real difficult...but everyone else is too switched on to let me hand ball it to them so looks like im stuck with it.

Oh well, i will get to se Brisbane for a while

[GTRgeoff]

There is also Warwick, and Lakeside may reopen after I'm elected Mayor of Pine Rivers Council..........

You are just scared of liking it too much!!!

[gtr660hp]

Yeah also Indy carnival in Oct-now if that doesnt hold your interest....

sht all over stuffy F1 crap at Albert park for ..umm lets say eye candy and party atmosphere

[jlnewton]

Yeah, Morgan Park is pretty good. . . . . And there is always the new circuit in developement out Kilcoy way. . . .

Come on, we need some more regular track day goers up here

[gtr660hp]

Yeah Morgan pk is good... why do some people rave about eastern ck-sure the straight is fast as is turn 1 but after that its one fkn frustrating medium/double apex corner after another. Iv done laps there in club car stuff and it never impresses me. Phillip Is..now thats a different story..I was lucky enough to go round in the passenger seat of a V8 supercar there and an F40 Ferrari

[Roy]

I quite like EC, perhaps because my car isnt all that quick so its a good mix of corners. I love turn 1 and 2...i love the big stops where your heart is in your mouth hoping you havent gone in too late...thats why i love Sandown.

Anyway, tracks aside im sure i will fall in love with Brissie pretty quick. I was keen at first, but the job will be tough, so will need plenty of outlets for my hatred of the 9-5 grind

[WazR32GTSt]

so i assume you're bringing the 32 up?

oh, and i highly recommend New Farm / Teneriffe for a place to stay

[r33_racer]

Southside = lame

Pity your work dealings arent on the northside.

The new track at kilcoy will certainly be great. Depends on how long your up here for if you will get to see it in action. Lowdnes helped design it and test it. He reckoned it was good stuff. Maybe you should stay longer then 6 months if thats what it ends up being.

Its always good to get away from the mexicans and spend some time with good ole banana benders.
