Queensland: The most 'family friendly' state - ABC Online (blog)


Queensland: The most 'family friendly' state

Give yourself a pat on the back Queensland, you've made our state the most family friendly place in Australia to live.


But I’m sure you already knew that. That's why you live here!


And if you are from Toowoomba, well congratulations, you are officially the friendliest place in Queensland to live.


So why are we the family friendly state and how did we win the title?


Suncorp Bank took the time to research this and then ranked Australian cities against each other and I think you will be surprised by the results.


Canberra, the big smokes like Sydney and Melbourne, and even Brisbane ranked fairly low, and yet the smaller cities, or big country towns, did very well.


Suncorp Executive Manager Craig Fenwick, joined the program to explain their research.


The Mayor of Toowoomba, Paul Antonio, also joined the program to discuss why Toowoomba was voted such a great place to live.
