Lived in Sydney for a year pre kids and absolutely loved it but it’s too expensive I think for a family home.
considering Perth or the GC which has best weather all year round?
any insights.. Tia

Must disagree on Cairns- its really run down.

Yeah maybe I'm a bit skewed because of its proximity to the lovely rainforests north of Cairns - I just loved them! 😅

Thanks everyone for your opinions it’s helpful. To answer some questions we don’t have a close family in the uk and my mum is dead I’d never consider leaving if she wasn’t.
i wouldn’t be looking for work my husband has a business to sell here which would set us up /cash buy a house he’s trained in a occupation very unlikely to be removed from the skilled list x

Have you looked into what you need financially to emigrate, you need to be independent not just buy a house, plus a sponsor, work or a relative.

The people I know who have assets and savings in the uk that they were going to liquidate and live on in Australia quickly realised that it wasn’t feasible with what they had, a real financial struggle whereas they live good lives in the U.K. financially eg own outright, multiple holidays each year, 2 cars retired early… they all had children there so would get family visas easily. I’ve glanced myself as dh is Australian but not doable

Australia no longer offers new retiree visa, I think you have to be under 45 to work.
