Sydney- where to live?

How do I work out which suburb we would want to live in without visiting?

DH is from WA, were based in china but DH may (all fingers and toes crossed) get sent to Sydney. I need to work out what we can ask the company from in terms of rents so need to figure out which area we would want to live. He would work in Mantraville and wants to live within 45 minutes of the office.

I need to think about distance to work, possible future schools for DD (only 8 months now but I assume you need to sign up early?), good family suburb etc. I definitely want a house not a flat. Anything else I'm missing? I'd love to be near the beach but would rather good local amenities.

Has anyone got any suggestions for me or a website to help me decide?

I think we would probably be able to ask for At least 5000aud a month in rent but maybe more.

It's been warmer today but still a chill breeze - have my jumper back on again now it's late afternoon/early evening. I like it like this though! [hsmile]

This is the week Thumb - Summer headed you way!
Where are you btw?

1.5h north of Sydney just in the Hunter Valley Region (i.e. just north of Central Coast). It's not quite what I'd call country in UK terms, but I guess it is here. :)
Yes, I see that the temps are set to rise - oh joy! Grin
