Safe suburbs in Sydney?
We are hoping to be in Sydney in 2013. I'm busy looking at suburbs suitable to our lifestyle, budget.
We have 2 girls; nearly 3 and 5 1/2 and are hoping to be near a beach, park, river or anywhere family orientated.
Have you any advice for me regarding reasonably priced, safe suburbs to concentrate on.

As Sydney is by the coast like most Australian cities, nobody is really a long way from the beach, however if you mean you would like to be really close to the beach well this usually means expensive not reasonably priced.

Beach - anywhere east, Parks - all over, Rivers - see a map, Family Orientated - just about everywhere, Reasonably Priced - away from the beach and rivers
Just to give you an indication of recent shootings in Sydney, this is where they have mostly happened - http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/sydney-shootings
That's not to say these areas are unsafe - people generally know their shooter.
Perhaps Polly's question is a good place to start then look at easily commutable areas from there.

Budget and lifestyle choice are a better way to start. There are some very boring very safe suburbs.

Re: Safe suburbs in Sydney?
Yes guys are right.
Nearly everywhere here is mega safe. And boring also goes with it if you move to the burbs
We're moving back to Cremorne. Near beach, close to city but its pricey. Depends on your budget too etc

Looks like the MIL has had her AK47 out again.
Like the others suggest, you are throwing out a pretty broad question.

There were a couple of murders in cremorne while I lived there and a cash machine was blown up. Not the safest place in the world.

Australia in general with all the laws and being a nanny state is miles safer than the UK. But if you're going to compare Punchbowl to Kensington then maybe now. Apples with apples etc

Re: Safe suburbs in Sydney?
I see absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Australia is even slightly safer than the UK let alone miles safer. It isnt backed up by crime figures so I'm not sure what you base that on ? There was 1 (one) reported crime in our village last month
