So Far

My questions/concerns are:

What are good areas of Sydney for us to seek accommodation, that are easy to get into the city, but allow us cheaper rent so we're not scrimping all the time.

Is there a buy to let culture? If so, are there companies that will take over the reins and guarantee rent? Our plan is to live in army quarters, whilst paying off our own house with people renting to cover the mortgage.


Do forces children get free schooling/healthcare?

What are the hidden extra costs on building your own?- Taxes/land rent etc. As eventually we'd like to build our very own.

How can we ensure that the garden is safe for Roo to rummage around in?

Are ships really going to be a viable possibility for a 3 month contract? Or will Ben be forced onto a 6 month contract, take it or leave it.

Is it possible for me to get a promotion at the same time as my transfer? Obviously will not know until closer to the time.

What are the costs of going to the doctors and for prescriptions? Eg pill/antihistimines etc?

Will update when we have some concrete answers :)
