To those who have moved and settled in Oz your choices please.

Initially back to live with MIL in Sussex Inlet, South NSW but after then where would a mid 30's couple, one cat, no kids be best suited . . . back to Sydney?? Or another place & state entirely????

PLEASE give me your hard sell as we have no idea????

I could tell you where to go, but you might not like it If, however you want to know where to go in Australia I would like to suggest the best place of all - Victoria!

Actually, all joking aside Bendigo is a great City. The only thing its missing is its own beach. It has great nightlife, restaurants, cheaper housing, museums & art gallaries, goldrush history, the weather is dryer than Melbourne but its still only 1 1/2 hours from Melbourne CBD.

I think everyone should move here!!
I voted for Victoria too - anywhere between Mebourne and Bendigo would be fine

Do agree with Hels - Bendigo is really nice from what I've seen when I've gone up there to see her..
Melbourne is great too though..

I voted "Stay in England"! If I'm stuck here (albeit, for the time being only), why shouldn't you be?!!

Seriously though, wishing you well in God's country, my Queensland.

My friend lived in Darwin for 18 months with her husband in the Aus Airforce, now in the US, she HATED it! And she is born and bred Aussie.

My head is racing with it all I have to say, the way it will probably go is we will get off the plane, rest up at MIL for a week then we will say right, we are off to . . . .

Thanks for the replies.

That is great to hear, as I have said before I would love to give Victoria a go . . . Melbourne is a natural choice but about to get in touch with Hels about Bendigo.

Any other options for settling and working in Vic?

I have decided to make myself a full time Expat Meet stalker, then I get to see lots of new places.

QLD seems to be stomping ahead!
