Why?

if i could get a job where you live i would move there in a second

in my xperirnce jobs are not easy to come by 

It is hard to get a job anywhere... I would not leave where I am unless I had a job to go to. 

this is a long term plan... when I decided to move here it took me 15 months to make the move... leaving here will mean a lot of planning... 

can I ask what you do Ibis?? I can keep an eye out for you. send it to me in a PM if you like. 

I found it is not what you know but who you know. 

I am hoping that the new government can help create jobs growth again.... 

you couldn't move without having a job to go .Could you ? People who leave areas were they are employed don't get any support if they move to somewhere where they don't have a job ...can they ?

I think that you'd get used to the weather

Happy to do some research for you cat.

Where in NSW? Regional? Country? The 'Burbs? Close to Sydney?

Where are you friends at?

How much weekly rent can you afford? House or apartment?

will let you know the details tomorrow... going to bed.. need a good nights sleep..

Cat, if you don't want to go right down south to Sydney, have a look at Coffs Harbour..

Quite a large area on the ocean super large shopping centres and great climate, it really only gets cold for about 6 weeks of the year, rest of the time it is temperate. It's only 1 hour by plane from Sydney and about the same to Brisbane. Added bonus it has a LNP Member.

Yes.. I agree.... Move to Coffs Harbour... 

You live up this way don't you jean?

I'd move to Coffs Harbor in the blink of an eye if I could.  got friends there 

who live on a caravan site, own their own caravan which is quite big, and 

so comfortable.  Coffs and surrounds seem to have everything including a 

wonderful climate.  

You are right Bright, your friend here. I moved to Coffs Harbour in 1980 and it has changed a lot. A lot busier but nothing like living in the city. You can still get parking in town. Yes, the climate is the best but in some ways it is still like a country town. As for rent, there are always quite a few properties advertised for rent with varying prices, nothing like the city though. Jobs, pays to know someone. However, if you aren't choosy there are jobs out there. This is a tourist area so if you have experience in hospitality e.g. cooking, coffee shops, you could probably pick up a job tomorrow. Also, there are many very nice places surrounding Coffs which may have cheaper rent. Also, we do have our own university.
