We recently moved to Sydney and live in West Sydney in an area known as the Hills District. There is sooo much to do for kids here. There are festivals, parks galore and so so much to do with the kids. Schools are excellent in the Hills District and was told recently by a teacher on another expat forum that you would be hard pushed to find a bad school in the Hills District.

Only trouble with living out here is the infrastructure and it can take about an hour to get into the CBD. If you're still making the move to Oz, I'm sure you and your family will love it!!

Hope this helps.
