I am an English lady and have lived in Perth and now live in Coffs Harbour, not far from Port Macquarie. Perth is hotter and drier and bigger. It is probably more expensive these days as most people are involved with oil and gas or mining and get good wages. It is a big city and has most things you would need but is very isolated from the rest of Australia over here on East Coast. Very different places, why not come over and travel around and see where you really want to settle. I'd prefer to stay on the East Coast now but there are some nice places in WA...
Good luck anyway and let me know if I can help any more.
There are some terrific opportunities in Port Macquarie for people with the experience that you two have. Employment opportunities abound plus it is the best place to raise a family. I would not bring up my kids anywhere else.

Hi we are moving to Port Macquarie from UK in October, could I ask if you know the best areas to look for rental properties. I have job waiting for me but would like to find a nice area for my wife while I am working all the hours. Thanks
