"Peace and Quiet!"
My fiance and I moved here mid-November 09. We had been looking in all sorts of suburbs when we stumbled across S/Lakes. We never thought we'd move 'this far' (it's not really that far out of the City) from Brisbane. Having lived in St Lucia for the past 7 yrs it was definitely a change on many fronts. Yes it takes longer to get to work and to get home but to be honest the fact that we have our very own beautiful home; that we don't hear fire truck or police or ambulance sirens 5 - 10 times per day or the train; we can see the stars; the residents are extremely friendly as are the staff at the shops.
There are several excellent restaurants especially Punjab Curry Club & Thai Boupha. Both are amazing! The owner of Punjab, Monish, is also one of the head chefs and nothing is ever too much trouble. AND he remembers regular customers.
Orion shopping centre is excellent with a huge range of shops. I love being able to get in and get out without having to do the circle around the car park trying to find a spot!
The lakes are lovely and full of massive fish, eels, turtles, ducks and other birds.
We absolutely love living here and are so very happy we made the move.

Beach house, Grilled Burgers, Yumcha Cuisine, Eat Sushi, Coffee club, Orion hotel, Thai, Raman, Hog`s Breath and many many others in the Orion shopping centre. The Merlo coffee is my favourite coffee.
The Pubjab curry club has the taste of frozen and reheated. I'd suggest that the food is pretty similar to the Woollies plastic take away containers of Indian food that you can get in the deli. It tastes like old frozen food reheated. Thai Boupha is slightly better fare however the beef is so chewy that it is like little strips of leather and the rice is crunchy - I think they stopped caring.
