Such varied views on the different places and i don't know why but i am getting the need to have a indepth look around Melbourne and surrounding area's.
Once again thanks.
We are also poking around Melbourne - if you want to compare notes please pm me.

Cheers

LOL, we did that to, drew a 250k circle around Sydney thinking that was a commutable distance to civilization. WRONG!! May as well be 2500km from civilization. We also painted a metaphorical target on my bare ass and bent over to be taken advantage of at every opportunity. The good news is I’ve washed the target off now and can see them coming well in advance now.

the question i have is how did you decide where to settle? i am very worried that being on holiday and living and working are to completely different things. What are the pros and cons of Bisbane over Perth, Melbourne instead of sydney or even wider NSW versus QLD.

I would be interested in reading your views the ones that live there now and the ones who are on there way.

Thanks in advance

Travelled all over Australia over the years. Used first hand experience and a lot of research and came up with Wollongong, South of Sydney.

Good luck
