Still, even on his average wage of less than $600 a week, we live pretty well.

I certainly am! Wouldn't live anywhere else.... well, not till the other half decides to go back to NZ ![Wink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I'm also one of those annoying people that believe if you've made ya bed, you should lie in it. If you go to live somewhere and constantly complain, maybe you should go back to where you think life is better
Average house price in our area (Hawksbury) is probably around the $400K mark. Although our landlord might sell us the house we're in now for around $235K - a good price for a 3 bed around here.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Hawkesbury region is an outer suburb of Sydney to the west towards the Blue Mountains, within commuting distance of the CBD.
