Actually, house prices & possibly too many Brits(?) putting me off Perth. Have just started to look at QLD also. God what a decision!

Were the same, can't decide between Mebourne or Adelaide and even considering Perth. My hubbies a nurse and I will have to pack in work to look after 3 young children. I think Perth will be too expensive for us. Adelaide sounds beautiful, but not sure if too quiet so I think Melbourne may be coming 1st up to now. May change next week though. Decisions, Decisions. Good luck..

I take the kids with me when I go out :D It's one of the great things about Australia - child friendly pubs and not feeling like you've got to keep them tied to the chair.

Of course if I'm going clubbing I leave them with my hubby ;):D

I'd go to Adelaide due to the house prices. Apart from that I would head to Perth and buy the house next door to Amazulu.
