Annimac76, personally I will suggest to find something short term and look for a long-term property once you are in Melbourne/Sydney. I mean, usually properties look much better on pictures and you might end up disappointed if you rush.

Personally I am a fan of rottweilers, but since they are not mentioned in the possible answers, I'd probably go for a Labrador.

Hi Everyone,

 

i have been a visitor to your forum for a while but only just started to look into emigrating seriously and could do with some help.I had originally thought Sydney would be the best destination but now realising the cost of living could be a bit tight and considering Brisbane. I work in construction, mainly fit out and interior finishes and my wife is a primary school teacher. We have no experience other than backpacking 15 years ago so looking for any opinions on where is best Brisbane or Sydney. I know they are very different but just a general idea of which has the best work opportunities and overall better standard of living as we would like to start a family at some point too. Really need help. Thanks

Well, I was born and raised in Brisbane and currently live in Sydney, so that's a tough one :laugh: I find Sydney lovely, though I think it's somewhat overcrowded and more expensive, thus if I were you I'd go for Brisbane...though Sydney definitely has better work opportunities. Ah I sense I am not much of help, but good luck with your choice!
