[QUOTE="MysticRiver, post: 43122, member: 1"] It's not that straight forward. Regarding work, honestly it is not a very easy going for most of the people. I know a lot of them, and most of them start with something totally different than what they were skilled in, or had experience in. In Australia, the job market is very competitive, and having any local experience have huge importance getting job. So, first job is critical and unless you are lucky, you might end up waiting for sometime before you can find a job that you like. I am not saying you should not try or loose hope, I am just saying to be prepared for anything and, okay with taking small steps initially rather than waiting for a big fish right away. This is the main reason that new migrants get depressed at the beginning, and believe me, I have seen a lot of them among friends and acquaintances. However, ofcourse big cities like Sydney, Melbourne will have more opportunities. So, you can start their. But remember, those cities will be expensive as well (just an idea, an average unfurnished 2 bedroom apartment in Sydney will be around $400/week, also living cost in Australia is high). Regarding kid's school and other public services, Australia is very much people-friendly countries with lots of help from the governments to the people. And unlike many countries, everything is decentralized, so I don't think you have a big problem on that part. And lastly, about culture and neighbors, if you are comfortable having a familiar neighborhood (means people from your culture), you can find it anywhere, but ofcourse big cities will have more such neighborhood. If you ask me, I am more of a guy who wants to mingle with local culture more, where ever I go. Another point you might consider that, if you have that opportunity to share a house for initial few days with any friends/family, you might want to go to that state. The reason I am telling that is, the hotels in Australia is damn expensive, and with a 5 member family, you have to pay a lot in any hotel in Sydney/Melbourne. And you should know that renting a house is not as easy as many places. Many of the time, the agency/landlord will not give you the property, even if you are ready to pay the price they ask, unless you have a good bank balance to show, or an income source and some local references. The process of renting here is very formal and little bit pain in the ass. So better to stay some place for cheap unless you can rent a house. May be you can try some shared house, but I really hate that, specially I am with my family. It has both positive and negative sides. Positive side is, like both you and Marcus said, their will be less hassle as you can help them in travel. The negative side is, as Marcus pointed out, you might not have the job for sometime at the beginning, and secondly the last para I mentioned (it's easier to find a place if you are alone, rather than with full family). Mobility is not be a major issue. I would suggest you don't settle too much in any state unless you get a job (which can be days, weeks or months).

And like I said before, unless you are lucky, you'll get a job in your field straight away, and you need to be very very to get a job in higher post at the beginning. I like this point. The city is small, but well planned. Not as big, messy as Sydney, that's why some people love that. But ofcourse, job opportunity is best in NSW. [/QUOTE]
