Wish him good luck in finding a place - from what I have heard, rentals aren't easy to find.. so many people moving here you see!!! :-) But then again, those people that have told me, have been looking on the immediate coastal towns (ie, mooloolaba, coolum, maroochydore, caloundra) and I haven't heard anything about further inland (ie nambour). We brought our house 2 years ago, and it is still one of the cheapest places on the coast to buy - doesn't have the best reputation, but DH was born here, lived most of his life here, and we haven't had a problem so far!!!! :-) Let me know if you need anything, more recommendations, rental agencies, etc... :-)
