thanks everyone... i really appreciate it... its just so hard going somewhere i have never been before!!! from what i have been looking at online there seems to be a lot of places.... even with the people ratio difference... if we didnt have the skylines, i wouldnt really care where we lived... as a stiletto is always a good weapon of self defence but since we do have them i have to worry about it. i start on the 17th september down there so time is running out... but like, would it just be cheaper in the short term to get a cheap unit anywhere and train it or bus it to work until we sort it out... cause tolls are pretty expensive i hear... thanks again!

Wood anyone recommend marrylands? There seems to be a few nice appartments for about $280 a week. Cheers?

We'll have around 300 a week to spend on rent. A unit will be ideal for now, just until we get our feet on the ground. To give a perspective of rent here at the moment.... For a run down 1 bedrroom unit goes for about 3 - 400 dollars a week, and houses are quite a bit more. Doesn't really help living in a town full of money hungry coal miners. With each rental property here, there is about 25 different families or individuals applying for the same place which doesn't give much hope for us. Thanks for the input and if you have any other recommendations, please let me know. Thanks all!

Hi all, My fiance and i will be making quite a drastic move from north queensland to sydney in search of a new start, for reasons disclosed. Have lined up a job for myself at wetherill park but currently do not know where to set up base or anyone in the area. Just want to know any good locations around that area or close by, and anything else we need to know. Be making the move with in the next 2 weeks. Anyone that has suggestions on a good location, or who lives in the area, please let me know. Would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
