Can i ask why did you choose Canberra? Ive not really looked into Canberra.

I didn't really choose Canberra - it choose us I suppose, Im a Social Worker by trade even though I don't practice here, the job was advertised in the Community Care magazine I get - so its a relocation package really - if I get the job. I don't think Im brave enough to sell up and go any other way really - I have to stay 18mths min or pay back the relocation fees - Canberra looks ideally located, spent loads of time on the earth thingy!!
Both kids & I love to Ski and its driveable from there, boys love to surf and I have relatives in Sydney and Melbourne, so it really couldn't be better placed.
I am concerned about leaving my family - but I do everything here and if we go and get settled then I hope life will be very much the same but better weather and more time to spend with them - will wait and see.
