I have lived in Perth and Sydney all my life and have a husband adn four children aged 13 to 19. Three are in highschool. We are very happy where we are - great suburb near the water and close to the freeway and the city - great schools and friends - BUT - my husband has been offered partnership with a big firm in Wellington. I dont know much about the details yet - but will have to consider if its possible to commute - to telecommute - should we sell up and move - or downgrade to cheaper home here and buy in NZ. What areas are good to live in and so forth.... Costs of uni, etc etc etc! Could someone help please! If its a backwards step then I wont pursue but if its equal or better to what we have then I want to explore. In the back of my mind Im thinking why would so many kiwis come here if it was better in NZ...
