I am going to live in Australia with my lover soon. Here are a few cities I have selected. I hope friends who know can help me.

I live in Brisbane and often go to Melbourne for business trips. As you said, the weather in Melbourne is really bad, but Brisbane is much more comfortable. But in terms of employment opportunities, Melbourne is certainly better than Brisbane. And recently Melbourne was voted the number one most livable city in the world - of course this includes public housing construction and so on. Adelaide is just like the countryside. I think unless you like a very quiet and boring life, it's really hard.

If you are a new immigrant, it is actually difficult to integrate into the local society. It may be easier in the early stage to have acquaintances, at least there is someone who can help. But for integrating into society, you still have to rely on yourself. Your friends may not be able to take care of you much, and they may not be able to take care of you themselves. Rent a house - If it's just you and your wife, you can rent a master suite here first, the one with its own bathroom. For Brisbane, I suggest you rent near Sunnybank, which is a Chinese residential area. You can buy almost all Chinese things. I don’t know much about Melbourne. It should be Box Hill. When you are stable, you can rent an entire house by yourself, which will give you a higher degree of freedom. Buying a car - Your driver's license may need to be translated, you must take a traffic test, and you must take a local road test to exchange for a local driver's license. Your translated driver's license is only valid for 3 months because you have a permanent residence. It is very convenient to buy a second-hand car or go to an auction house. It is best to apply for a tax ID number first. Many benefits and opening a bank account require a tax ID number. This is easy to do. Just apply online, but the prerequisite is that you must first rent a house and have a mailing address. You can get this in about 3 weeks, and then apply for Medicare, which is also a matter of filling out a form. If you have no religious beliefs, I suggest you go to a church. Chinese churches are of great help to new immigrants, and you can easily make friends there.
