It has to be easier to find places, once you are living closer to where there are possible homes to rent are imho. There could well be some obscure home where the landlord doesn't want to go through the real estate agents, or a friend of a friend up there.

have you thought about living in emerald its no different if travel wise then those that live in bilo and travel to moura or vice versus for work

[Rach75]

or you could move to moura he'd only be 2 hrs away LOL then you'd have me

[sconeonamission]

Is there another town that's close enough to your DH?

Coz to me, beach trips would be so much more fun and memorable if you don't see / go there everyday iykwim xx

[mummy2chloe]

hehehehe your so sweet rach xxx

I have thought about emerald, but its still wayyyyy to expensive for rent there, plus it would be an hour and a half drive from nath's work and there pretty tough on trying to stop guys from driving more the 20/30 mins after working 12hr days. so we would still be apart if i lived in emerald rent at zilzie, plus fuel for him to drive home after the 7 on would still be cheaper then rent in emerald.

Moura is still to close to bilo lol trying to avoid bilo....to many family members there that i dont want anything to do with IYKWIM

bugger,bugger,bugger!! i just wish my little family could be together again

[Rach75]

its only 68km to emerald ... so is emerald rent really more than Zilzie serious wow never would have thought that...

bummer blody family you oculd live in moura in secret

[mummy2chloe]

the only towns that are close to dh is springsure, rollestone and neither of them have houses to rent

moura or emerald is 1 to 2 hrs away, but his work wont let him travel after work....for saftey and fatigue. plus emerald is way to exspensive and moura is to close for comfort to the family that have been trying to take me to court to have access to my child!

[mummy2chloe]

rach rolleston to emerald is 138klms away from each other and the cheapest house in emerald that allows animals is $490 a week

zilzie is $350 aweek brand new and animals are fine to have in yard.

totally agree.....stupid family lol
plus moura to rolleston is 149 klms....no way they would let him drive that far twice aday after 12 shift

[Rach75]

oh so he;s not actually in Springsure..ok that makes sense

wow thats a bargain for zilzie, maybe you'll have to go to zilzie did you say you have freinds there ?? at least he isn't 7 hrs away so in reality you will have 6 of the 7 days off together rather than 4 or 5

HI MUMMY2CHLOE
I am going to reply before I read everyone elses thoughts, so maybe this is nothing new. This is what I would do:

I would want to be together as a family. And with a 7 days on 7 days off roster, living in really cheap rent...what is stoipping you from going to the beach during his 7 days off...even camping by the beach is fun? Obviously not every week off, but some weeks off, you might be able to go somewhere else as a family.

And the small school sounds like great opportunity...you would soon meet others.. And because you are renting...if it doesn't work out you can always move to the beach later....

now I have read the thread: oh maaaan! bummer...i hope you can find a place soon. I am not familiarvwith the area, so can't help with ideas or knowing people who might be renting...

all the best

Can you move to a town close ?
