Re: The Melbourne thread
I just liked the sound of the place Climate seemed right,plenty of work(so i'm told) and Vic seems the most liveable state...those were the main reasons.

But we're all different and that's what makes the World so great
On the weather issue, remember that this was probably the worst summer for the past 5 years....and at times it was bloody hot, but it don't stay like that forever
Sounds like you got some serious thinking to be doing

Re: The Melbourne thread
Lee, I really do know what you mean. I did a reccie in 2005 and went to Perth and Sydney, came back and told everyone I didn't know what all the fuss was about. Melbourne seems like an urban sprawl at times. But you know, Sydney might seem spectacular but the harbour ain't all that. Never been to Brisbane, Darwin or Cairns so can't comment.
Adelaide seems nice but smallish for my liking. Perth even seemed small last time I visited it.
Remember the place itself is not everything. Its finding friends and your own watering hole, knowing your favourite Thai and what aisle in Bunnings to get the right widget that finally makes things home.
We go from everything we know to everything new and strangely it is when things become more familiar that it seems to slowly drift into place.
Right now there is no other place that I would rather be (and you know my story)!
