Hello again, everyone has been very helpful so far and I think I am going to be pestering you with questions until we leave the UK. I'm looking at Sydney suburbs and trying to get a feel for where we might want to live. At the moment I'm wondering about the Eastern Suburbs (Coogee) or North Shore (Mosman). Of course we'll get a holiday rental for the first few weeks and then visit places properly, but I'd like to have a shortlist before we get there otherwise it seems like a mammoth task!
Currently we have some friends living in the Eastern Suburbs. Of course they say it's great but they have younger kids than ours (ours are 6,4 and 2) and from the stuff I've read about that area, it seems very image-conscious and expensive and Coogee probably have been the only area in the Eastern Suburbs I would have considered in any case. I think my friends are far trendier than I am or ever was. Anyone image conscious would definitely look down their noses at me!
I've been more inclined to think about the North Shore - both dp and I like the look of Mosman and he thinks his salary should cover rents there. Although it's not on the train line, is it? I quite like being linked in to the public transport system and I find trains preferable to buses. But it's dp who will have to do the commuting (his company are in the CBD).
Anyway enough blethering from me, I welcome opinions on these or any other suburbs.
