Accepted a job in Brisbane. Moving from the Southwest US.

Apparently Grace Removals will be shipping our stuff.

We have a kid that’ll be eligible for 1st year in January. Public or private school?

How did the housing market get so bonkers?

Am I going to have to bring extra ketchup through customs for my kid, or is the tomato sauce close enough to make an easy switch?

People here will say public school but what I'm seeing in real life is that a lot of people are preferring private schools

About a third of kids go to private schools. The reasons are varied, but the perception is that they'll get a better education in private. There is truth to that, but it is a simplistic answer that misses some of the variables.

When faced with this choice, we chose public - but selected where to live based primarily on the school catchment areas so that the kids could go to good public schools.
