Leaving The Big Spoke For The Country – Have You Done It, Would You Do It?
View our regional and rural properties>>
Ah, city life, it conjures up thoughts of café’s restaurants, cinema, and large shopping centers, and of course money, that’s where the money is…or is it?
Approximately 60,000 people a year make the move out of the city and relocate to their new life in regional areas and not all of them are retirees.
Many families want a better quality of life for themselves and their children and are finding it in the country more than ever; but, one thing that has caused families to hesitate in making the move is employment.
You may now be surprised at just how fast country and regional areas are growing and just what opportunities there are out there with employment and this includes starting your own business.
-
Have you successfully made the move to the country and easily found work or have started a business; has the change been a positive one for you?
- Do you live in the city and have wanted to make the move but have concerns?

Hi there,
thanks for this post, we did make the move to the country 2 years ago and have never looked back.
I do admit that we did have concerns about work but by researching the work scene we found employment quicky which did surprise us and 2 years on now run our own business.
Living in the country has been very good for our kids, they seem happier and healthier (probably being outside more) and we also seem to do more together as a family.
All in all its been a good move for us.
Cheers,
marian.

I too am looking to make the move with my husband & really can’t wait to get out there.
We love this website as it gives us plenty of options to check out before we hit the road.
We recently used a consultant to help assess a property we thought would be good. Luckily they were able to point out a few things we didn’t consider or know about & now we are looking again.
We are also going to go to a workshop on all the things to do with buying & setting up on our small farm (when we find the one…). From the information we have recieved so far I think this should be essential to all us novices before we get out there. Have a look at the website http://www.smallfarmconsulting.com.au/index.cfm?PageId=0&full=C914DDF8-97AB-C729-A6B359AEB5F85DA8
Good luck all
Sally

Hi Sally,

It looks like a bit of common sense research and advocacy will pay off for you, good luck with finding your perfect pocket of country, there is one out there with your name on it.
