That makes sense. And it might also turn out that it will dictate where in Australia the OP can settle.

Guide to Australian cities:
Canberra - cold boring small no coast
Brisbane - humid beaches dirty
Sydney - lively expensive big
Melbourne - wet overpriced interesting
Hobart - cold wet boring
Adelaide - hot beaches relaxed
Perth - boring faraway hot

Hope that helps

Haven't been to either but heard Newcastle was very average and has little to offer.

Therefore to answer where to live... Adelaide if you want somewhere laidback or Melbourne/Sydney if you want a big city

Are you living in cuckoo land? Melbourne wet? Melbourne at the moment is going through a massive drought and has one of the lowest average rainfall in Australia.

It is way too overpriced though but it is also the most cosmopolitan city in Australia, with a more European feel.

Melbourne has the second most amount of rainy days of the capitals at 147 rainy days a year ( Hobart has 160). Adelaide has 121, Sydney 138
