My girlfiend and i are currently looking into the prospect of moving to australia but have no idea as to where to live, i am a fully qualified motor vehicle technician and marine engineer and i am currently running my own marine engineering company in Vilamoura Portugal working manily on pleasure craft up to approx 100ft. I would idealy like to be able to carry on working in this field. My girlfriend has a law degree and would like to work within the legal system if possible.
Any advice from anyone please???

With your criteria, I would suggest a big city near the sea. So, anywhere except Canberra.

Williamstown, melbourne

Massive marina and docks 2 and 5 mins drive away. City 20 mins and has 3 train stations

Beautiful place with cafes,bars, lots of shops, city skyline veiws across the port. Fan bloody tastic mate. If you cant afford willy there are places nearby. Do a search on www.realestate.com.au on the rental section at the top for williamstown and surrounding areas like newport yarraville seddon spotswood altona kingsville

good luck

Melbourne, Sydney or the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast might suit you. There'd be lots of pleasure craft in Queensland and Sydney. Not as many in Melbourne. It might also boil down to weather. Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are warmer and very humid over summer. Sydney is warm and humid over summer. Melbourne has four seasons, and is cooler.

Melbourne weather is great, a bit like mid to north spaing as we are 40 degrees south and on the same latitude but south so hopefully youll know what the weather is like in portugal itll be similar here.
