Where To Live In Australia????
I am one of those very lucky people who have been granted their visa to live out in Oz for possibly the rest of my life. My lovely aunt & uncle assisted me with my visa and I owe everything to them for helping to get out there, however being based in Canberra is not really a place Id like to live, being a new single person and wanting to make new friends and start a new life. I'd love to hear otherwise if Canberra has a good social life etc. However another option is living up the Central Coast where I can commute by trian to Sydney to work and drive approx 2.5 to 3 hrs away from my family which isnt alot when you base on the size of the country.
Id love to hear from anyone who rents in the Central Coast area - what the jobs, social life, cost of living is like. At the end of the day I havent given up a fab job, great social life to live in an area with little going on. Slso any good tips on where to travel in two weeks would be great, friend and I are planning to do a little travelling from Sydney to help me settle in. Hope to hear everyones comments good or bad!!! Jules in the nile :p |

Jules in the nile :p My advice to you as a single person would be to go somewhere where there is some life. I've lived in Sydney for 8 years now and I think a great place would be Manly. Its easy to get to the city if you get work there and its a great place to live. The central Coast in comparison is alot quieter. |

Jules in the nile :p You want to go where the other singles are and that means Eastern suburbs, lower North shore or Manly. Rents in the east start from around $300 for a basic 2 b/r apartment. Probably similar in the other inner suburbs. Why don't you look for a flat-share to begin with? It's the best way to meet new people. |

And Canberra is 3 hours from Sydney - so from the Central coast would at least an hour longer. The commute to Sydney for work is not something you should undertake lightly - it can be a real killer.
