Subject: Re: Coming to Sydney as a corporate spouse. Posted on: Sat, 11 Nov 2006 11:14:14 +0000 (UTC)

Not sure of where, yet. We live in South Florida near the beach now, so
we'd like a change and something more urban, and my wife's office is in
the CBD; she'd like a short commute. We hear, the Rocks, Paddington,
Wollomolloo or something like that. We do have a dog, though, so I'm
not sure how urban we want to go. Will be getting a car. Company paying
for housing at least in year one. Any thoughts?
