Also, where will hubby's work be?
I got a 2 week rental on realestate.com.au. The guy I am dealing with is really nice as you basically talk straight to the owner.

We want to be in an area that is within 20 mins travel time of CBD, is a vibrant but safe area and that is popular with families. Ideally we would like to be near the coast, but otherwise near to some open space/park etc. ideally we would like to rent a house - would a budget of $750/wk get us somewhere decent?

Our 3 year old is of nursery age and we hope to get her into a good nursery soon after we arrive - how do we find out which nurseries are good, but without monster waiting lists?

Loads more questions, but will leave it at that for now! Thanks.
