Is Surry Hills on your shortlist of Sydney suburbs to explore during a visit or relocation to Australia? Are you moving to Sydney and hoping to call Surry Hills home?
We’ve lived in Sydney for over two years and although we have heard a lot about Surry Hills – it has good bars and restaurants and is known as a fashionable suburb; we had never walked the streets and taken a look for ourselves, until recently.… Read more
We started Mum’s gone 2 Aus five months after relocating to Australia. One of the reasons we started the blog was because we found our first months here very overwhelming, and before and after our arrival we spent a huge amount of time searching the Internet for information that just wasn’t there.
At the time, we didn’t know much about the services of relocation consultants. Using a relocation consultant didn’t occur to us when planning our… Read more
Last week’s relocation dilemma: Should we go on a reccy? received lots of discussion and great tips over on the Mum’s gone 2 Aus Facebook page and here on the blog.

Their lifestyle and the benefits of living in Australia’s often forgotten state seemed very good. Since then I’ve held onto a positive impression of what it… Read more
We frequently comment that choosing where to live is one of the hardest tasks for families moving to Australia.
In our Where to live section we have written about; Sydney vs Melbourne – fast facts, Australian suburb profiles – where to go to get the low down, Which is Australia’s most liveable city?, and The best Sydney suburbs for families.
It’s been a busy week at Mum’s gone 2 Aus and it’s Photo Friday, but Mum has barely been out of the house due to the rain, sick children and work on the launch of our latest printable action plan (or e-book) called Choosing Schools and Suburbs in Australia.
Today’s Photo Friday isn’t quite as colourful as Sydney in technicolour, or as quirky as Guess the object; but we hope you’ll forgive us a little (more)… Read more
