It has been closed to six months since my move to a regional city in NSW. It has a population of about 20,000 and it takes 5-10 minutes by car, from one corner to the other corner, in this city.
Traffic jams means 3 cars ahead of you at the traffic lights or roundabouts.
Everything you need (as oppose to want) is available although the price may be higher due to lower demand, higher transport costs and lower purchasing power (either in monetary terms or volume). Delivery by mail takes about the same time as in greater Sydney but courier may take an extra days.
All the major supermarkets or retailers are represented with the exception of one, which is under construction.
What do I miss? Family and friends who are still in Sydney.
What do I not miss? Traffic, daily stress in dealing with the crowd in Sydney as well as a high density living, working and commuting.
Would I be able to live her for the rest of my working life? Possibly if the family is here.
Ahh..and the price of real estate is at least half of Sydney prices and quarter acres real estate is still the norm.
Welcome to regional NSW.
