Moving to Brisbane

IMQ: moving to Brisbane

After much debate with my husband we have finally decided to make the move from our Wonderful little suburb and back to Brisbane to further his work opportunities. I'm just wondering if anyone could give me an idea on great family friendly suburbs to start looking into (we will have a three year old and newborn twins) Older suburbs are fine by me as I prefer to have a decent sized backyard and an older house over a new house on a teeny block. We are looking at both northern and southern suburbs as we are more interested in getting near good schooling and activities for younger children. Any advice on good or bad areas would be greatly appreciated!
