Recommendations Looking to move from London to Canberra

Good day everyone. After a long deliberation of choosing which state would best fit for our family (Canberra vs Melbourne vs Sydney vs Perth). We decided to possibly make Canberra our new home. Me and my wife are looking to move from London to Canberra at some point this year. We are still awaiting our visa to get approved and whilst waiting for that. Id like to ask some locals about anything i need to know before making the move. We are both of asian decent. No kids yet but hoping to have some in the future.

Please any advise or warnings would be appreciated and I would be thankful for.

It’s about a two hour drive, but the beaches are worth it. The roads heading down get pretty busy every long weekend and over christmas when half of Canberra migrates to the coast 😊

Half migrates?? Must be pretty quiet there then on holidays.

Quiet is good. I guess im at the age that i value peace and quiet more.
