Still haven't got a clue
Probably start in Adelaide as Eldest son live there and says we can have his house for a while (he works abroad much of the time).
Not sure where we will end up.
Depends if we decide to work. If so then depends where the best job is.
Going to have a look around a few places next month so will wait and see.

Blue Mountains in NSW........................
Hubbies family live there and we just bought a house there.
Hubby has a job to go to and I am bringing my job with me.
Looking to start a family in next year or two so despite loving Sydney decided against living in a big city.
Have lived in London for last 19 years so I am ready for the countryside!!!
Worried I will feel isolated but will have to do my best to get out and meet people.

Adelaide for us. Brother has lived there for ten years now and we have a support network of friends there to help us get settled. Did contemplate Caloundra but only have one set of friends there and you can't keep asking for help from the same people all the time. We've been to Adelaide twice and liked it. Also Yorke Peninsula not too far away so we can get out of town for a break.

just to bump this up a bit.
My wife and I are also moving to Oz, but not really sure where to yet. I have a very close uncle in Syndey, Blacktown actually, and we thought it was very nice when we went there about a month ago. Nice weather (although i hear it can be unpredictable), friendly people, great environment. However, I don't mind going elsewhere if it would prove favourable.

Hi, Plumber,
Thought I would get in touch as we live in Varsity Lakes near Robina on the Gold Coast. We are 5 mins from the beautiful beaches and 20 mins to the Hinterlands and national parks.
The school at Varsity where two of our kids go is one of the best on the coast. The only piece of advise I can give is check the work situation out before moving here. The wages are not as good as the UK. Brisbane is about 45 mins by car, and we are only half an hour NSW. The building boom is going mad here. Property prices arent going up. If you want any more tips, contact me and I will help if I can, cheers Rob
