That certainly helps, because part of the reason we have decided on Oz is because of the climate!
I know what you mean about the party thing. When people ask what i study and i say: "clinical neuropsychologist", you either get: "wow" or "ehm..ok?"
I see you've been around! where are you originally from, if i may ask?
Right now we live in The Hague. I was born in the a bit south of Den Bosch actually, but never really lived in the netherlands due to my dad's work until I wanted to go to university.
I do get a bit of an itch every couple of years because i never lived anywhere longer than 4 years in my life, so the Oz move is very exciting. We're planning on staying 3-4 years (depending on how long it takes my bf to finish university), and then moving to Stockholm, where he is from. Seeing as it's basically dark for 4 months of the year, i'm gonna need my fill of sunshine.

anyway, is there really an isolation factor with Perth, compared to say.. Brisbane? I mean i know that it's the only big city for miles and miles, but aren't the distances quite large everywhere? Is Brisbane close to any other large city (i'm talking driving distance, not having to fly)?

Best,
Loes
