KHOLO and its surrounding suburbs of MOUNT CROSBY and KARANA DOWNS are 20-26km in a direct line S.W of the Brisbane C.B.D. A great area if you need a large or acreage block with affordable homes that range from basic to palatial.Residents enjoy outdoor activities , space , peace and privacy , without being far from convenient amenities.Most blocks enjoy stunning views of the D’aguilar Range and its foothills , Pine Mountain , or the Brisbane River and the local valleys.Lake Manchester and Brisbane forest park (28,000 Hectares) offers exploration of stunning pristine wilderness areas on foot, horseback or mountain bike.Many U.K visitors state that it reminds them of the Lakes District .Ipswich City C.B.D and its well established comprehensive and fast growing retail hubs are a 15 mins drive , and offer easy free parking.Both Brisbane CBD and the Airport are an easy commute with numerous toll and non toll options depending on your schedule. The upgraded Ipswich Motorway (completion 2012) and Logan Motorway offers easy access to both the the Sunshine and Gold Coasts .I can recommend the area for families with “at door” school bus service to quality local private and government schools.
And it’s all just 10 minutes up the road from where I live! Yes, I love Mt Crosby too. Stunning views and countryside. Thanks Phil for your detailed description.

Hey Bob!
After discovering your site about a week ago, I think I have read nearly every page!!
I am in ‘the idea’ stage of emigrating to Australia with my fiance and have found your site really helpful in most aspects of Australian living and what to expect. However, being a primary teacher I have come up a little short about job prospects from the endless hours of internet trawling. I have mixed information to say the least…some saying expect to find a teaching job after 2 years and some saying if you make yourself known to schools then it’s easy to get a job! Ahhhhh…help!
I know you will only be able to speak from your own area, but is it theoretical to expect to find a teaching job? Also, you wouldn’t happen to know the best way to go about this? Find a job before? Move then find one? I have found my qualifications are adequate for teaching in Oz, and by the time we hope to move to Australia, I will have approx. 4/5 years teaching experience. I would consider a career change, but nothing has appealed to me yet. My thinking always seem to go back to teaching!
Thanks Bob!

Hi Holly
Glad to hear you are enjoying my blog, hope you get to enjoy living in Australia sometime soon.
That’s an impossible question for me to answer though, job availability is always a moving target. Many people tell me it is easier to get a job when you are already here and have permanent residency than it is to try and get one before you get here. But then coming here first and then looking for work is riskier.
It’s difficult to say which is best.
All I would suggest you do is look at my page about Getting a Job or a Sponsorship and do some research for yourself around jobs available in your field. Hopefully that will help you decide what to do.
Good luck!
