I extend sincere thanks to CJ Explores for their thorough exploration of Australia, covering its cities, beaches, and outback. Visiting New Zealand and Australia has been a dream tourism destination for me for a long time. I suggest incorporating street food experiences and interactions with locals and expats into your vlogs.

I’m very surprised you decided to make the Gold Coast your home and not somewhere a bit quieter. I suppose because it’s quite central to everything there. I know you absolutely loved WA but it’s a long way from everything. Welcome back you guys!! 😁👍🇦🇺

Loved this walking tour around GC area, looks very family friendly and my dog would love it!(definitely get a dog 🐶 🤩) Agree the Creek is very picturesque.. you should both purchase a bicycle.. great way to get about and looks like a lot of flat accessible areas & great way to keep fit! Loved your balcony area guys, looks a lovely spot to relax. ❤

Hey guys, can I ask why you decided Gold Coast over Perth? We are thinking of moving to either Perth or Gold Coast but very torn between the two. Could you compare them? Love your videos.

@@KenzoTenmaM hi Dr Kenzo 👋🏼 of course. Perth is fantastic as well. It’s located on the river not quite on the coast, a little bit like Brisbane. Except the beaches near Perth are much nicer! Gold Coast has much more infrastructure than Perth I would say, it’s been established for a longer time and is really well developed. You will certainly get more bang for your buck over in Perth in terms of house prices - that’s whether you’re buying or renting. If that doesn’t concern you and you want a busier lifestyle then Gold Coast would certainly work for you. If you like things a little bit quieter, want to save some money and don’t mind being more than a few hours flight away from the nearest major city then Perth could be the pick! Hope this helps!

I think you two fit in and would make good Australians, and especially, Gold Coasters (Margot Robbie's grew up there). Hope you run out of reasons to go elsewhere. Looks like a place to heal on many levels. Beautiful.

Hi Sophie 👋🏼 there’s a lot of great Facebook groups which can help you find rooms/houses/apartments to live in on the Gold Coast. There you will get an idea of the current rental prices. A room in a shared house is obviously the cheapest way to go and you could find yourself living with other students in an area close to your uni of choice. In terms of money, I think you could get by on a part time job. I certainly did when I was living in Brisbane when I first moved here. The wages in Australia are very good and they pay extra for night time and weekend work. If you want to make it happen I’m sure you can Sophie!!
Hi friends, could you please share which tools you use to compare rental prices ? Did you consider living in far north Queensland ? Where the GBR is

@@maria641 yes! The main property search tools are Domain.com.au and realestate.com.au but you can also join Facebook groups for your chosen region where people share rooms available for rent as well as full properties. We didn’t consider living in FNQ because it gets tooooo hot there in the summer. Great for a holiday but slightly uncomfortable if you don’t like having to choose between living in a sauna or air conditioning all day!

We live in an apartment at the moment so maybe a smaller dog might be better suited to us as we don’t have the space for the dog to run around! What do you think?
