“You’ve got everything you need here. Pubs, supermarkets, golf course, it’s all five minutes away.“
Before Alex was pulling long shifts in the outback, he was running the show as a Duty Manager at a Brisbane Bowls Club pulling beers, keeping the place ticking.
Fifteen years in hospo taught him how to work hard, deal with all sorts and keep his cool when things got hectic but he was ready for something different. Weekends are for winding down, bush style. “Bit of golf, bit of lawn bowls, head out camping or wet a line. There’s always something to do if you make the effort,” he said.
Would he tell someone else to give it a crack? “Bloody oath. Do it while you’re young. You’ll earn more, see more and if it’s not for you, you can always head home. But don’t knock it till you’ve tried it”.
City prices?
Forget it. Isa’s different.
Move out of Brisbane and you’ll be
$15,000+ better off each year.
Less rent, tolls, parking (and time).
That’s not a small change, that’s 3,000 coffees, a few epic trips or cash you pocket.
Check the numbers.
Decide for yourself.

Hayley Reynolds told ABC
"I was finding it really hard to save meaningful money and once I kind of added up how much I was spending annually … I was like, 'I can't keep paying almost $40,000 a year to live in Sydney.'"
Tim Abbott told ABC
"I think one of the great things is, you know, you're being intentional about your finances. You're not sort of thinking: 'I'm just living pay cheque to pay cheque' … it's sort of helping you to focus on your long-term goals."
Andrew Grant told ABC
"The money that comes in, normally I'd be like, 'okay, well that's going to bills, that's going to tolls, that's going to petrol, that's going to dinners, groceries, this, that, the other.’ Now, all the money that’s coming in, I'm like: 'Oh, this is my money and it's staying there,'"
