If I were going to Aus it would be near Brisbane.
Excellent climate (for me), property prices still reasonable, diving not too far away, good size city.

Brisbane - most suitable climate
Oz Govmt stats say:
Most jobs in my sector
Least populated of the major cities
Favourable unemployment %
Ratio female to male managers good
Sunshine / daylight hrs favourable
Health spending per public sector good
Schools good
House prices most favourable
Brisbane centre within reasonable driving distance
Blah....blah...blah.....

We originally planned on going to the Gold Coast, unfortunately we dont have enough points, so the other option was to go for STNI and we plan on making the most of it in Victoria, and after 2 years if we are still up for the Gold Coast, so be it we will give that a go as well.
Good luck on wherever you all end up.

Perth for us, we liked the east coast & particularly Brisbane but we just knew as soon as we landed in Perth that it had to be! We love South of Perth & hope to be there in January. Still loads for us to see in Perth before we make a definate decision on where to settle but it would take a bomb to change our minds at the moment!!

Definately Perth for us, but that's because we've a young family.
Lived in Sydney b4 & liked it, but went on a rekkie trip last year & visited both Perth & Sydney.
Perth was so clean & appealed to us because as I've already said that we've young children & ticked every box for us as a family.
Not knocking anywhere else in Oz but it's everyone to their own!!!!
All the best
