Hi there. Canberra is a great place for kids. My kids are loving it. In terms of where to move, the best option is to find a short term place online and then look at various neighbourhoods and choose the one you like as they all have a distinct feel. We have not taken a long term place yet but are hoping to move North (gungahlin area) as it's in our budget, has lots of parks etc. it's a new area so lots of young families. Of course everything depends on when my husband is able to secure work. Good luck with your move.

Hey, things are going ok so far. Managed to find short term housing. Bought a car. My husband has just started looking for work. The market is quite dry so lets see. Still haven't met many people here so looking forward to whenever that happens.

Hi We moved to Canberra last week from Singapore. We are originally from Pakistan. We have a 4 year and a 2 year old. We are currently looking for long term housing. My husband does not have a job yet. It would be great to meet up with people in a similar situation, i.e. Young kids, new migrants, no job, looking for housing, schools, etc. We are staying in Braddon at the moment but looking to move toto Gungahlin most likely. Warm regards shazia
