How did you decide where to live........
We've always loved Melbourne, but we're going to give it a couple of years and maybe try somewhere else as we'd like to experience living in different places.

We are off to Adelaide as thats where hubby's job will hopefully be.
Done loads of research on the area and schools are good and housing relatively cheap there compared to other areas - - -it'll do us for starters!!!
Good luck with your decision making. Sure whatever you decide will be great.

We settled here in Brissie as I have family here. The suburb we are in is great for us at the moment, but I think to buy a house in the future I would like to be out in the country a bit more, but still around Brissie.

The type of visa we got meant we could only come to Melbourne and stay for two years then we are free to go anywhere in OZ.We are only morally meant to stay here but we don't want to move now anyway.We are viewing Melbourne as somewhere we will spend the next three/four years and then review it.

After our last holiday in Queensland, I almost persuaded the rellies to look at moving there but the blighters thought that they'd miss the 'seasons' too much!
So Sydney it is - for the time being!Nicky
