i wasn't talking about Sydney city or surrounds but rather cities or towns out of Sydney like Newcastle or Wollongong which from what my husbands colleagues say would be a hard commute from Sydney. From what I see property prices in Sydney even 40kms out are more than London. But it's different as a lot of my new neighbours have come to Surrey from London and can still do their jobs

Thank you for the gorgeous pictures. I don't mean Sydney is underdeveloped obviously , I actually did live there when I was in my 20's on a work visa for a few years. It was great. I remember going to Newcastle and not thinking much of it but I'm sure things have changed in ten years. I was just saying that places outside of the city are more under developed than they are in England. Like you could easily live in Surrey and commute to London but I'm not seeing much of that in Sydney and I remember public transport being shocking although I'm sure it has improved.

Thank you so much! What a shame there is nothing like it. I'm seeing Australia is more under developed than England and I will miss the convenience and beautiful country side.

Hi all I'm new here :smile: my husband got an opportunity to work for a company in Sydney however the work will be remote except for a few times a month where he may need to go into the office for meetings otherwise he can work from home. We currently live in Reigate, Surrey and love it. Will be renting out our house for the few years we are away. I have a 2 year old daughter so school districts are not urgent but good daycares and preschools as I think we will be there for a couple of years. I'm not super keen to live in Sydney considering property prices are crazy and it's so crazy busy. Is there a town like Reigate in an area like Surrey which would be within commuting distance of Sydney so my husband can commute when needed? Well not really commute he would only need to go for a day. We are currently 20miles from London so it works out well when we need to go in for something. Thank you! This forum is amazing. So much good info :ssign19:
