Re: Where to live in NSW
Sorry for the delay. Had some pretty bad news this week. The mother-in-law has just been diagnosed with cancer and it looks like it could be terminal so our plans are definitely changing. We are still going to make the move as we know it's the best thing for our long term future, but it's all about the family in the short term.
On a cheerier note, those pics are stunning and gives a far better understanding of scale than google ever could so thank you very much for sharing.
In your experience what is the rental scene like?

No prob with the pics, any excuse to go up there
There are some great lookouts on the way down the motorway.With the rental scene, we spent much of our savings putting down 6 months rent on our first rental and kind of muscled our way in. If you can do that you'll get to the front of most queues, but then again with my dislike of most real estate agents, it limited my chances to swear at them haha . There are some nice places around to rent, $450 a week will get you something in pretty good nick, but not exactly palatial.
Take your own photo's of any new rental and keep them in case they try to pull a fast one at the end of lease. We got accused of vandalism and theft at the end of our last lease, and photo's made sure we got a grovelling apology, which was nice

I can't believe you had to pay for six months in advance! That seems a little excessive. Is that common practice in Newcastle?

Yuppp, right now I would have 60 points with the additonal 5 from sponsorship, but if I waited till next June I could claim another 5 for 3 years experience. So bit of a dilemma 🤔 lol

Re: Where to live in NSW
We haven't rented for a while now but we used to always take plenty of pics and a video of our rental, both on the day of moving in and day moving out. It still amazes me people try this kind of thing despite the fact they've had months or even years of your money.
