*what is public transport like around Sydney?

OK if you live near a station, otherwise expect clogged roads/overcrowded buses and expenive tolls. (And remember Sydney is biiig ... 80km to the outer suburbs like Penrith!)


* what are schools like around Sydney?
Depends where you live (state schools) or what you can pay. Some shockers out west.


* are most of the suburbs quite nice?
No, some are dismal, almost ghettoes. But there are plenty of nice ones if you have the moolah.

* are house prices horrendous in the suburbs? How about renting?
Yes, expensive compared to wages. Rental market is very difficult now.

Despite all that - still a great place to live!
