Re: Melbourne
Almost all the houses that I have been in in Melbourne do have central heating at some level - either ducted of some type or I have even seen radiators (called hydronic heating here). There are many that don't though, especially the older ones. Many older houses are designed around a central fire which is intended to heat the entire house.

Re: Melbourne
I've had AC in both of my houses, the new one only has one split system and I'm not looking forward to it. Even this summer that has been the coolest yet, we've had it on a fair bit.
But YES to heating, although its not been on hardly at all this winter so far...cant wait to light the fire!

Re: Melbourne
Before we had kids, my wife and I have enjoyed working in great cities , London, Dublin , Belfast ,Edinburgh , Cardiff, which was great, but now we have kids , I dint see that city life would suit us as in a life based around a large city.
I see Melbourne as a great city but not for kids, which is why we are favouring Perth for the weather and the beaches. Yes there's the fact it's a plane ride from everywhere , but it allows us to live the life we want which is outdoor next go the sea as it's great for the kids.
I'm sure people will disagree , but having good weather all year round is a positive us and nit having to base out lives around big cities as we've done previously looking for good nightlife etc
I will miss the sports events a city like Melbourne has but it's about the kids for us now and what's best for them

Can you get work in Perth? You seemed keen on Melbourne earlier because of the work availability. If you can't get work easily in Perth then living there will be shit for everyone, kids included, you can't eat sunshine.
