Don't do it man... Sydney is crap... It's a great place to visit but after 2 months, you'll be over it already. Traffic Sucks Public Transport is no better Rental is a nightmare Property is impossible to afford in reasonable areas (ie without being in fear of leaving your front door) If you choose to dine out anywhere, or go to a show of anything you get lugged with 'Sydney Tax' a mysterious unmentioned tax that causes everything costs double what it would anywhere else and for 1/2 as much. etc... Depending on what you do, if you must move East, and to NSW, the North Coast or the South Coast are a much better option IMHO then Sydney itself. And Sydney is still more then accessible for weekends from either location.
