Hi rocket,
Thanks very much for your reply, much appreciated.
Not 100% certain of where we're going to live at the moment, Melbourne is favourite at present. My wife is from Wagga so we are going to use that as a base to look around (won't be living there though, too slow, my wife has been in London now for 9 years so you likes the bigger city). We'll probably look at Sydney, but prices for real estate there are a joke, so it would have to be further south.
I see you are from Perth, I have 2 friends who used to live there and they raved about it, trouble is its a zillion miles from anywhere. We'll probably get a flight over there to have a look though. Brisbane and the Gold Coast are nice, but not certain if I can do without a bit of cold occasionally
Tas looks really nice, but again might be a bit too slow pace
