    First Time Buyer - Where To Buy In Brisbane

    Rocklea flooded, salisbury didn't as salisbury is a suburb on a higher elevation than rocklea. The boarder of the flood water can be at the edge of a hill, but that doesn't mean that the house on top of the hill is at risk of flooding. I actually really love the fact that there is a little...

    Parts of Logan floods. In 2011 nothing in salisbury flooded. So not too sure about where you are getting your details from. I'm at one of the lowest points in salisbury, and even at my house the water needed to be 2m higher to actually reach it. I tell you what if the water level in 2011 was...

    I agree with RPI, Salisbury would be worth considering. Houses are around the $400 000k mark. There is a train station. It's a good suburb in that it is very safe, lots of young families, people studying at the nearby uni, and elderly people. We often walk the dogs at around midnight and have...
