Blue Skies and Beaches by unravelau
I was going to suggest Coffs Harbour because apart from the good climate, and friendly safe environment, we also have two substantial hospitals and umpteen nursing homes. On the other side of the coin we are only an hour away (by plane) to Sydney, yet a hop skip and a jump from the real bush. What more could anyone want?Carole.Brisbane is a pretty busy place but you still have to travel a distance to get to choose a beach. Of course if you like the big city environment with a hot climate then you will have made the right choice. Think about the out of the city options and along the coast either way north or south. I have never regretted my move from the big city (Sydney) to the country area 30 years ago and still think that we have the best of both worlds here.
