hi we are both school teachers from Kidderminster, so not far away either. we are just waiting on our daughter to finish her gcse`s and plan to move out next summer. we are deciding whether to go for perth or northern sydney suburbs. its such a massive decision. with the uk housing market being so bad, we will need to rent the house here, and rent out there for a while. our kids are in fab schools here, ( yr 7 & 10) but the world is changing and we have a 1 year old too as well as one at uni to fund. fingers crossed that this move is the magic wand ! - great schools are key' do we need to live in the schools catchment? what are the best schools - where can i look for this info? thanks guys, scary and very exciting times!! and also why should i choose perth ? isnt it a bit isolated? that's my main worry
