Housing in Australia

First of all, serious sticker shock on our part! We have always lived in pretty cheap parts of the country, so when we took at look, HEART ATTACK!! Places are let by the week, not month as well. $350 per week is pretty cheap and does not get too much either. Of course, we could pay less, but then have to commute over an hour each way! We're looking in 2 neighborhoods right now-Bulimba and Carrindale. Bulimba is across and down the river from the Central Business District (CBD)where Lyle will be working and they have catamarans called FerryCats to provide a ride to work. Way cool! And only 20-25 minutes total including the walk down to the ferry landing. Carindale is connected via express bus at the regional shopping mall for a 28 minute ride and 5 minute walk from the bus terminal. Either way, the schools are nearby and good as well. We won't make a final decision until Lyle is there to inspect the housing.
This is the website we have been browsing in case you are interested!
