Welcome!
Absolutely - come to Canberra! We have the best of both worlds - very clearly defined seasons (lots of beautiful autumn leaves at the moment). We are 90 minutes from some stunning beaches, 2 hours from Australia's best snowfields, 3 hours from Sydney and, if you are really desperate 7 hours from Melbourne. They are saying we are going to have a construction boom - the govt has released a whole lot of land for new homes to accommodate people they are hoping to bring in. We have good facilities on the whole and they dont call it the bush capital for nothing - you can see the bush from anywhere in town and can be walking in the bush with only a short drive. We have wineries within cooee, decent restaurants and a nice line in alfresco cafes. Unemployment is at an all time low and whilst I have no idea about the trades (you cannot get an electrician here if you want domestic work done, so they must be busy!) you cant walk through the shopping centres without seeing loads of adverts in the windows for retail staff.
