Re: Living in Wollongong?

I really liked Wollongong - I lived there for 4 years, and met my husband there. How about looking to the North of Wollongong if your husband will be working in Sydney? That would fit the near the...

Re: Canberra overlooked

An excellent point. I'm moving to Brisbane primarily to live closer to my parents (who live near Byron Bay) and my non-UK-dwelling sister (Brisbane). My two year old will be able to see his...

Re: Canberra overlooked

Yes, it's absolutely factual. At 4:51 precisely we public servants simultaneously log off our computers, stream out of our buildings to the nearest lake and mindlessly march in perfect time around it...

Re: Dilemma

They're going to have their school year disrupted however you do it. The Australian school year starts at the end of this month, and maybe it might be easier on your boys to start with the Australian...

Re: OBGYN recommendation CVS for Sydney

You could try going to any general practitioner when you get here for a referral. Someone else might have a better idea.

Re: Canberra overlooked

Honestly, the water shortage doesn't impact us much at all. We don't wash our cars and don't water the garden. We're basically lazy, not much on car maintenance and crap gardeners anyway :-)

Re: Canberra overlooked

Wellington is a great city - we lived there for a year and loved it. The only knock on Wellington is that the weather can get depressing there - wet, windy and cold (but the gorgeous gems of days...

Re: Brisbane, Adelaide or Melbourne?????

Re: Brisbane, Adelaide or Melbourne?????

I would not have expected it to feel that cold in winter. Hmm. I guess we will have to lump it for the year that we're renting, then after we buy look into things like insulation and reverse cycle...

Re: Canberra overlooked

I'm not sure. Canberra is a very liveable city in my opinion - we've been here since 2001. The largest employer is the Australian Public Service, and they often require people to be Australian...

Re: Brisbane, Adelaide or Melbourne?????

Yeah, but the single figures are mostly when you're tucked up in bed. I can deal with that!

Re: Brisbane, Adelaide or Melbourne?????

Maybe you could take a holiday out here to see which city feels right to you? Choose a motel out in the suburbs rather than one in the city. I suspect you could be happy in any of them. They all have...

Re: Too Early to Jack It All In????

It is really hard for the non-working partner at first. I've been there. We jumped countries to New Zealand a few years ago (2003 - pre-kids). Husband had a job lined up waiting for him. I did not....

Re: Job offer in hand, but do we come

How could you not come? If you're curious about living in Australia in general or Perth in particular, you could live in fine style on that income. I doubt you'd get a better chance, and chances are...

How's the internet in Ferny Grove, Brisbane?

Hi all :D

We're making the move from Canberra to Brisbane in February, and are considering where we'd like to be. Husband will be working in Fortitude Valley, and I'm still looking for a job. We...
