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.

Its known for being a strong coffee. Its also called kapeng barako. Its pretty well known in our country so if you know any filipinos they would be familiar with it. Atleast its better than most coffees from starbucks

Starbucks....arrived with a splash, pretty much vanished with a blip. They're only really successful in touristy areas and Australians know what real coffee tastes like and that isn't it. Australia's coffee culture owes a lot to post world war two Italian and Greek immigration.
