Hi We are thinking of moving to Australia, I have a year old daughter and husband who's an electrical engineer and I myself am a qualified pharmacist from uk. Ideally I want some where they have good schools, nice community, [b'>not too overpriced[/b'> for rent or activities and some where we can both work. I don't know where to start looking for the best place area to live! Does any one know where I can start to look? Or they can recommend a city. Would appreciate your help! Thanks You can rule out Sydney, it's mind boggling expensive. I've got a few friends who have well paid jobs but left Sydney as the cost of living is so high. One moved to Adelaide and loves it, housing is much more reasonable. I find the cost of living in Australia has gone up extraordinarily since I lived there and it is a very expensive place to live now. Although wages seem high they are negated by the cost of living. Melbourne is the same, really expensive, I go every 2 years and cannot get over how much things cost. In fact I am off there again in a few days time but am happy to see that the exchange rate is slightly better this time around. OP - Australia is a great place to live, especially to raise a family but the cost of living in cities is high. There are some beautiful places to live outside of the cities but it would obviously depend on the job market. I would do some research on the job market and then narrow your choice down to one state, it is such a huge place that it is difficult to be specific about areas to live. Also think about what type of climate you would like to live in as it varies quite a bit - Queensland - very hot and sunny, Victoria -proper cold winters , NSW more of a temperate climate etc etc <em>edited by Genie on 05/11/2014</em>
