that is a good thread you linked to Buzzy, thanks for the info and pics.

so why melbourne over brizzie then?

Oooh various reasons. I'd happily live in both places!

You'll need to make your own minds up.

If you want a simple answer - employment opportunities.

Buzzy

OH is locksmith and safe picker it seems that they have openings in all states so if not thinking about job market just qualitie of the places would you still go melbourne??

Yes, but different people want different things from life so you will have to make your own decisions based on your requirements, not mine!

Buzzy

No it's not - it's great to go away for a week or so as normal adults rather than parents. You can be parents the other 50-51 weeks of the year and give your kid holidays with you in that time. Nothing at all wrong with having a break on your own.

We came last month on a 457, i had a job waiting for me here. My wife took a few weeks off and started looking for work in admin / office receptionist type work only 3 weeks ago. Her first interview offered her the job, she started the next day! not bad money too and all week she was getting calls for interviews for the other jobs she applied for. There are loads of jobs in Brisbane, i guess it depends on what you do but you should find no real problem.

Good Luck!

P.S. We are a 34/35 couple with no kids (yet) and we love Brisbane, is such a wonderful, warm, laid back city, great shops and good nightlife.

yes employment opportunities will be a large factor in our final decision when we have to make it.

thanks buzzy

We'll second that, as fellow ex-Rochdalians !! Wouldn't go back for $$$$
