NSW for me. Dans family are in Sydney and the Southern Highlands, and after 7 years away he wants to be close to them so they can get to know Harry.

I fell in love with Sydney when I was there and felt really comfortable and at home there.

We initially wanted Brissie but the only avenue was SIR visa. SInce visiting Adelaide, we fell in love with it anyway and wouldn't go anywhere else! It is perfect for us.

To be honest, it is a bit out of budget for us now, but we have never considered anywhere else. It feels like the natural place to be.

We can afford to live there, but might be a while before we buy a house.

Perth for us hopefully coz both my brothers in law and their families live there. In fact now that I think about it we have more family there than we do here ( but the MIL's still here :scared: )
Adelaide would probably be next choice - we really liked it. VV friendly, and just nice really.

Got STNI Nomination from SA. To be honest I'd not even considered it before last year - but the more I looked into it the better it sounded. Think I've made the right decision (especially as we came back from a validation trip...having bought a piece of land!).
