Default Right..advice needed...

Heres my dilemma.

Since this Aussie thing has been going on we have set our hearts on moving to Melbourne.Now i'm starting to have doubts about setting up there and Adelaide seems rather attractive ... mainly due to house prices.
Am i losing the plot? What attractions does Adelaide have that Melbourne doesnt ? Bearing in mind i have never been to Aus so i'm working alot on gut feelings
Maybe i could do a 2 week reccie in both areas when we arrive to see whats what? I know it would cost a few more £/$ but it may be worth it in the long run

Anyone with any opinions or experiences on reccies whilst arriving ? I'd appreciate any feedback!

Thanks for listening,

Lee

We had the same dilemma as you!!!!

Perth was our first choice - however we have family in Adelaide. After booking holidays homes, quarantines in Perth - Adelaide suddenly springed to mind, mainly due to lower costs.

However, we have since decided to stick to our original plan. We might have wondered 'what if' - if we never headed to Perth in the first instance.

We will, however, book a holiday in Adelaide at some point - to see what we are missing.....

I reckon you are having a case of the jitters - it's perfectly normal!

I am grateful we don't have a choice as I would find it hard to choose, don't blame you guys for jitters.

We have to go to Sydney as sponsoring job is there.

Good luck with whatever you choose
