moving to queensland need advice..................

No big shopping centre and no high school in Gracemere.

I live in Nth Rocky and work in Gracemere . Gracemere has most services , big new shopping centre due to open by Xmas . No high school but plenty of bus services to Rocky High Schools . Has 3 primary schools .Gracemere to Rocky CBD normally only takes 10 minutes but up to 25 if you hit the morning peak hour , 8.15-8.45am . There is junior footy competition and a few other sports , swimming pool , skate park etc

As with anywhere in QLD, just make sure you buy or rent above the high water mark from the last floods.
Cant help with an area, havent been to Rocky for over 20 yrs.
Goodluck with the move.

yeppoon area is much nicer to le if you don't mind the drive.
Has all facilities..
Gracemere has grown to quick, and no infrastructure has kept up. The water pressure dies off to near nothing.. the traffic into Rocky is just one huge bottleneck..
but yeah, good saleyards, which is where I spent 90% of my time in Rocky anyway .. lol
Cheers

Yeppoon is good except for the travel into Rocky but the big plus is the cooling sea breeze every afternoon that Rocky misses out on.

I also live in tropical Rocky.

If I was to move to another town that I did not know very well, I would rent for a while. A PITA to move twice, but you get to know the place. Perhaps you are looking to rent, so this advice is superfluous.

Rocky is a fairly well stretched out sort of place, so where you work might influence where you might want to live. Shops are just shops, aren't they, but where you work needs to be convenient.

Bunnings, Glenfords, and 2 other major hardware stores are on northside. A Man's Toyshop is on southside. Groceries you can get anywhere!

You are are a truck mechanic. Two of the big truck places are at Parkhurst, which is on the opposite side of Rocky to Gracemere. Not only the trip to town, but every freakin traffic light in Rocky. Rat runs are hard when you have to cross the river. Another truck place is on the southern side of the city, so a lot more accessible to Gracemere.

My wife is on a Gluten Free diet and gets most of her stuff at Woolies at Allenstown.

No need to have indicator blinkers on your vehicle. We don't use em up here. Just change lanes when you want to. Not that anybody will let you in. Mostly joking!
