Just 5km to the City, short walk to restaurants, bus and train stops

We live in the eastern suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland. The house is just 6 years old, but in an established City area. We are within walking distance of bus stops, and a slightly longer stroll to the railway station. The Gold Coast beaches and the mountain areas of the Gold Coast (south) and Sunshine Coast (north) hinterlands are easily accessible. It’s only a few hours drive to places like Byron Bay (south) or Fraser Island (north).
We are travel writers (hiking guidebooks) and would like to have an extended holiday in Spain next year, from April or May, to June or July 2008 – perhaps even longer, depending on the options available.
We would also be happy to do a vehicle exchange if that suited.

Easy stroll to shops, restaurants and transport.
Within easy reach of the City.

My wife and I are freelance writers, specialising in hiling guide books.
I speak a little Spanish, but will brush up on it before we leave for Spain.
We are looking forward to spending several months in Spain next year and perhaps even using Spain as a base for hiking trips.
We are 56 & 55 and looking forward to taking a long break next year.
