Hi Quoll, I'll hopefully be coming out to work on the new tram line from Gungahlin to the city centre, not exactly sure where the maintenance depot will be but I'm guessing its some where in the north east area, the depot stop is somewhere between Wells station drive & Sullivan's Creek? Not sure what Visa we are on but the company have told me that there has been some changes recently and the one they have got for me is a permanent one which also allows the OH to find employment as well? Income wise we will be looking at around 100k (Aus $) not sure where that will get us and what standard of living we can expect to have? We are far from flash and prefer the out door life but coupled with a nice home, we currently have a 4 bed detached house so would like something similar if possible? The schooling looks a bit of a nightmare, the eldest has left school over here and is doing A levels and an Engineering Degree at a college, my youngest son goes to a dyslexic school and the daughter is in high school (were all over the place on the school run! lol) What would you suggest school wise then? Private? What is "IS" what body are they to find out if we are exempt? Thanks for the help and the OH will love the pic's you've shown me!

Thanks Pom Queen, i'll have a look at those places and hopefully @Quoll 7 @Peach may be able to help me out too!

Hi I'm possibly moving to work in Canberra from the UK, we will be looking at renting to start with, can anyone help with which areas would be suitable for me my wife and 3 kids (son 16, son 13 & daughter 13 (twins)) we like the outdoor life walking/hiking etc and the 2 youngest are in the air cadets and army cadets, have heard lots about areas not to look at but am looking at suggestions as to where might suit us so we can research them a bit more! Thanks! ?
