Anyhow. I'm now looking to Australia, but have no idea where to start. We kinda liked New Zealand as it apparently still has 'seasons' which my husband likes, he's into game shooting and fishing. Can anyone please help on advising which areas may be suitable. I like the sea, he likes the rural! I know this is a big ask and everyone will have their own opinion of areas but any advice would be much appreciated. He's been running a building firm for a god few yeasr now but is an Electrician by trade, can anyone foresee any problems with points? Sorry, I know I've gone on a bit, but starting to get excitied now.
Hi there

Welcome to POI hope you will enjoy it as much as me!!!! I haven't been to NZ but I have lived in Oz and visited there twice last year. If you like seasons then chose Melbourne.

You really need to go for a visit yourselves to make a good decision for you as everyone has different tastes. We are going to Melbourne but to be honest we prefer Queensland although it is quite hot most of the time so wouldn't suit your hubbie.

I hope you can manage to make up your minds and good luck !

Les
