		My advice is as a starting point  buy a Brisbane Explorer book, now in its 9th edition and a Zappy explorer. Stacks of info in them. We haven't moved yet but will be soon!

		On Schooling
The info below is based to a 7 year old.
500AUDm for Entry Test
upon acceptance...you pay
2500AUDm for Admission Fee.
1000AUDm for insurance incase you son decides to eat the library book for lunch.
7000AUDm for 1 term (4months) payable in post dated cheques.
Be warn...kids will love the school life here..but not the parents.
There is way more holidays then actual school days.
I believe more then 155days in a year is a no school day.
Its really weird.
