Playghirl Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hi We are coming up to a year in Sydney now but realise that we will never be able to buy a 3 or 4 bed family home. Rent is now 700 per week in Leichhardt. Scottish hubby currently has almost constant work driving a manitou and clearing 1300 per week. Will be doing a crane course this week which will certainly improve his employability if not his wage. I am a teacher earning about the same.... On our wage we should be able to afford a nice property in COffs / SAwtell/ Reston/ urunga and surrounding areas.... But what is the employment situation like??? i Am also interested in what people's views are like to live in this area. Hubby is SCottish, and we have two girls not at school yet.

Guest Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Sydney real estate is rediculous right now. It's a real shame that most people are being priced out of the market and its not like these houses are anything special, just standard terrace houses etc. Good luck for your move up the coast as its a fantastic lifestyle up there if you can find the right jobs.

lucylou1 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 My partner and I live in Urunga, although I have lived in Toormina/Sawtell before. The work situation is average...depending on your profession or what type of job your looking for. Have a look at seek.com.au for the jobs. I usually get an email from them daily with between 5-15 jobs a day. Great place to live although not sure about the weather lately.....more rain than anything else. That is a drawback, when it is rainig I dont think there is that mcuh to do, other than going shopping but how often do you want to do that. Housig prices are reasonable, depending on your check-list and requirements. et me know if youve got any questions about the area Cheers Lucylou1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
