I choose Sydney because of the Job's available and higher wages. Would not change a thing and have been here 17 yrs.
The Harbour, Beaches, (my favourite is Maroubra Beach) Nightlife-most films,concerts and shows come here first. Lots to see !!!
Lots to do or do nothing and enjoy the lovely weather.

You get definite seasons here. Not too hot and not too cold.
Melbourne can get very cold, perth gets very hot(summer) and very cold (winter), Queensland gets very hot in summer. Sydney is perfect.

If you are ambitious this is the place to come.A lot of big business here. If you are looking for a job there are lots available. More chance of being happy in your job if you can choose where you work and get paid fairly.

Yup Sydney has it all!!

We are going to Adelaide, although we have not been to any other cities in Australia. After our Recce we feel it has got all you need, friendly people, good bars and clubs, shops galore, and some very nice beaches, as people have said its a case of personal preference.
As a point of interest, who has only ever worked and lived in the place they were born? If we dont like it we will look around for somewhere else.

Hi all,

Thanks everyone for their input. Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney melbourne......... Now I am totally confused. I guess the smart thing to do would be to organise a recce. ABCDiamond - Just out of curiosity, why are you sending your 9 yr old to private school? Are the state schools overcrowded or lacking or is it just your personal preference to send him to private school? How is the commute to Brisbane (1 hour away)? Hope i'm not coming across as nosy , just trying to get as much info as possible!!!!!! Thanks!!!

State schools can be great, especially in a good area.Some are in demand. Catholic and Anglican schools have a good name and others.Same student to teacher ratio's. I think personal tutoring if required is more helpful way to spend money.
But this is a personal choice.

Our destination is probably the most 'unpopular', but I gotta keep the flag flying We are off to Tasmania hopefully around Hobart
