Better to move to:
1. Perth
2. Melbourne
3. Brisbane
4. Sydney
5. Hobart
6. Darwin
7. Adelaide
This is coming from someone who is an Australian.

We also have three children although two of them are at University at the moment, we need a school for our 8 year old. Please keep in touch with any suggestions of good schools.

Re: location and schooling in Adelaide
If you are easily pleased (as I am) - Adelaide is a really pleasant place to be.
Lots of lovely parklands, paddling on the river, swimming in the ocean, walking in the hills, touring vineyards in the Barossa, drinking coffees (or a glass of something chilled) outside a cafe in the sunshine, dancing to jazz in your local on a Sunday night, playing netball, taking in a leisurely game of cricket in the sunshine, seeing the beautiful parakeets and cockatiels in your own back garden....
Bring on those Zzzzzz - I can't get enough!

Re: location and schooling in Adelaide
I agree. Adelaide is a lovely place. Different people like different things, that's life. I just suggest to any people looking to move anywhere - try it out, don't burn your bridges, and be positive.
I've been here for just over four years now. I was 22 when I moved here, I'd been into the clubs and fast pace of London for a couple of years, but now really like the lifestyle here. Adelaide has is negative sides, but so has every other place.
