Moving (ha) this to a new topic. @dxnerd > [@What station am I listening to?](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/what-station-am-i-listening-to/1090/66): > > Bungendore isn’t ultra rural or isolated- it has its own supermarket, butcher, GP etc. Queanbeyan/Fyshwick is only 15-20 minutes away if you want big box retail. Nearly all of Canberra is 40 mins away- no different to living in a middle/outer ring suburb in Syd or Mel. She turned down Queanbeyan. Katoomba was also another of my suggestions but that was turned down as it’s too far from Sydney city. I’m looking towards Woden Valley in Canberra to live but I’m not 100%. Safety/Crime is my top priority no matter how irrational it gets (especially with how safe Canberra apparently is). In terms of Melbourne I was looking around the Belgrave area since I like the idea of a leafy area. I have much less of a clue about how suburbs are in Melbourne except that Frankston and St Kilda are bad. ---

Parts of Queanbeyan are a bit rough but it’s nothing like it used to be. The ‘Struggle Town’ image is well and truly disappearing. Jerrabomberra is pretty affluent. Parts of Woden are actually quite nice such as around Mawson/Farrer. I have been to all of Canberra’s suburbs and liked them the best, due to their leafy outlooks. Gungahlin is basically like western Sydney with its McMansions and sprawl, yuk. You probably know that public housing in Canberra is scattered throughout each suburb; there are no real pockets of disadvantage like you find in western Sydney. I have been told that Oaks Estate (ACT side of Queanbeyan) bucks this policy a little bit so perhaps avoid that area. If I have to move to Melbourne in the future I will be looking at Ballan, Gordon or Trentham 🙂 I am never going back to Sydney, period. ---

I have been to all of Canberra’s suburbs and liked them the best, due to their leafy outlooks. Woden is perhaps my favourite part of Canberra. Along with having a leafy outlook, it is quite hilly, which includes wonderful views of the Brindabella mountains. The light rail is set to extend from Civic (Canberra CBD) to Woden in a few years time. My family used to have a friend that lived in Woden around 20 years ago, who lived in Tuggeranong (outer southern suburbs) for about a decade before that. That friend moved from Sydney in 1990, and left Canberra for the Gold Coast in 2001. ---

I have been told that Oaks Estate (ACT side of Queanbeyan) bucks this policy a little bit so perhaps avoid that area. I’ve only really heard negative things about Belconnen, Tuggeranong and Dickson but I feel like it’s still not as bad as Sydney. Looking at the crime statistics head to head for 2019, the ACT is much lower. I just had a laugh when I realised that ACT’s crime statistics includes traffic infringements, that skews things a little. ---

Ahh yes, didn’t Deborah Hutton present that show? Oh sorry, wrong Location Location! 😉 Especially with everything happening at the moment, I have no plans to leave Sydney in the foreseeable future. That’s not to say I wouldn’t be up for a move somewhere else if the right opportunity ever came up, but that seems highly unlikely. ---

I would live around Adelaide if it had a town above 1000 m ASL; this would make the heatwaves easier to take. Snow would be a thing, too. The Adelaide Hills have a good climate in winter- though mostly snowless- but are too low to escape the heat in summer and are very fire prone. ---
