Thread: Hello from Canberra, Australia

Howdy,

I am living in Canberra for the past couple years and thinking of moving to New Zealand in 2014.

We are Americans and our kids were born here. I am retiring from the military and we are kind of thinking we don't want to go back to America, but we aren't sure that Australia is for us either.

Can anyone recommend some good rural areas to consider in New Zealand where we could buy 40 plus acres to farm reasonably?

How is crime in New Zealand? Cost of living? Jobs?

What would be a good occupation? In the military I am a hazmat guy.

thanks again,

Muskox.
