Anywhere I can see a crocodile in the wild, always fancied that.

So I suppose thats QLD or maybe Cairns.......certainly not Perth (where I'm headed, no idea why)

Thats a bit how I feel. I like the idea of QLD and have been doing a lot of research in to the Cairns area and it looks good.

On the other hand my wifes three brothers all live in Perth (funny that!) and I dont mind visiting them but I dont exactly want to stay there. No offence to anyone that is going or lives there as we have heard good things about it but just want something perhaps a bit different, if that makes sense.

Still, we have to get the visa first!

Why?

You think Adelaide may be your first choice? Interested by that one.

Its pretty, especially the hills around it, but it didn't stick in my mind as a place to live, though I do like the botanical gardens.

If you can get the chance to go out before making a decision then do, on more than one occasion as well.

Having been out on more than one occasion I would say my favourite place is Sydney, though of course it is expensive, second to that would be Brissie, nice vibe about the place. Byron Bay is lovely as well. Melbourne is nice but didnt float my boat.

Mind you, I quite liked Alice Springs.

I didn't like Brisbane at all, Byron was lovely yet a bit pretencious, Sydney was cool but to busy.I adore Melbourne's cafe culture
