I prefer the city but it’s a lot safer here in the country and my family is here too. I really wanted to move back to the city for ages after leaving but I’m used to it here now.
We have everything weather wise here. Mainly drought and bush fire but lately we’ve had devastating floods over a lot of our east coast. It snows in a lot of places… we have a fair few tourist snow towns with all the ski fields etc set up. I’m not really into snow… I’d never actually experienced it until I moved to this area. It never snowed in Sydney!
