No jobs in Australia the rent is very high.
Australia is too expensive
@@masterdegreeSINGH plenty of jobs for those with the right skills and qualifications :)
Thanks for the technical clarification which I didn't know as a born and bred Australian. However, understanding the common peoplespeak , the capital city of each Australian state or territory is considered to be " metropolitan". Then there's "regional", meaning beyond the metropolitan, but not too far way. Then there's " country" which usually means beyond the regional, fewer people, much smaller and fewer towns. And lastly, there's the " outback" which are the desert and semi desert areas.
You presented, correctly, in technical speak. Nearly all your readers think and understand in peoplespeak. Hence the comments and questions.
Launceston. Great food culture and in the heart of everything if you love the outdoors. Fantastic quality of life.
North Queensland Townsville plenty of jobs like mining fly in fly out
Bendigo is my favourite regional city. The 19th century architecture has been beautifully preserved as a invaluable reminder of the wealth of the gold rushes. Bendigo also has one of the best art galleries in Australia as well as the largest Buddhist Stupa in the southern hemisphere.
Hi Martina,
Have appreciated your videos / opinion on Australia, being here for 8 years I guess now you consider it home
One thing I have notice is your videos are typically Melbourne, regional-Melbourne, east coast of NSW, to Wollongong
I am from Perth, but have worked around the world, and I travel frequently to South East Asia, as airfares to eastern states from Perth, are consistently more expensive than to S E Asia
Anyway, knowing that your reviews are usually well balanced, I encourage you to catch one of the new cheap Jetstar flights to Busselton near Margaret River Wine Region, amazing wine, beautiful scenery, forests, surf beaches, then travel up to Perth.
For another W.A. experience fly Perth / Exmouth (1250kms) to experience Exmouth, Ningaloo Reef (Whale Sharks), Turquoise Bay Bay go further north to Broome, see Bungle Bungles, Kings Falls, Buccaneer Archipelago, fly south to Tom Price (closest town, or Karratha) to see Karijini National Park (amazing), next in car to Coral Bay, then Shark Bay to see Money Mia Dolphins, on way back to Perth, and if still really keen to see wonderful beaches fly Perth to Esperance. (Call W.A. Tourist Bureau for trip planning, maybe even ask them to sponsor your trip, might be surprised?)
Perth and in particular W.A. regionals are regularly missed out by eastern states based people, but I can assure you if you take on the W.A. experience challenge top to bottom of W.A. your experience will be unmatched (Cool up north this time of year, but avoid cyclone season December to end of April, and temperatures blazing hot)
Welcome to Australia, do hope your experience across Australia continues to keep a smile of your face.
At the very least after your trip you will realize how huge W.A. is, so best mix is flights & car.
Go well 🙂 Brad
I suggest you try Port Stephens/Nelson Bay, Newcastle, Coffs Harbour, Wagga Wagga, and the Sunshine Coast.
What about... Bateman's Bay ?
I am not sure why you have included Wollongong but not Newcastle.
Definitely not Wagga Wagga hahaha
They left out a number of regional cities.
@Gra2203 Newcastle and Lake Macquarie is amazing and the pick of places on the NSW coast.
A lot of useful information! thank you Martina!
Thank you! This is very informative!
Thank you for this informative video!
I apreciate how you explain those things... I'm brazilian, planning go to Australia in September and your videos are full of information (and I love that you speak in a perfect time, that a can understand). Thank you
I like your videos a lot they are very informative and detailed please cover more variety of topics apart from immigration point of view.❤❤❤
Very nice Video all these towns are beautiful specially Wollongong , and Geelong and Alepine region is really Awesome place to be.
Thanks for this. It will help me decide.
Cheers great content 🏖🏖
Enjoying some of your videos Martina. I must agree on most of your choices in regards to regional cities in Australia to consider a life change and after personally living quite a few years in Melbourne and Sydney, I wanted to mention another regional town in Victoria for people to consider who may be looking for a slightly quieter yet vibrant place to live. After looking for a sea/tree change I ended up living in Warrnambool on the SW coast of Victoria. I lived there for about 15 years and in that time ran a small business, bought my first home and started a family after finally getting married. Warrnambool is about 250kms SW of Melbourne on the coast with a population of about 40,000 people and happens to also be “Victoria’s most liveable regional city” (according to the IPSOS Life in Australia Survey). Warrnambool's liveability is a key feature of the city's identity across Victoria. Affordable, decent and appropriate housing is available to most. Utility costs are becoming increasingly affordable for most with a push for more properties to become self-sufficient for their energy and water needs. Warrnambool is known as a leading World Health Organisation Age-Friendly City and continues to plan and invest to retain this reputation with a wonderful medical network and the Deakin University Campus will continue to grow and currently has its own train platform on the main line. between Warrnambool and Geelong. Anyhow, just thought I’d throw this one in from a personal experience as for me, although I’ve now relocated back to Melbourne to care for my Father who is unwell, it certainly is a town that I miss.
Love Warrnambool! Actually considered living there at some point (moving during the pandemic especially). But from what I had seen it had become pretty expensive (at least it was way beyond my budget - maybe not now after the whole pandemic thing is over). But yes, definitely a good one to check out! Thank you :)
@@livingsimplyaustralia Thanks for the reply. Yes, it certainly comes with it’s pros n cons, but for anyone happy to live away from the bigger cities and enjoy the coastline, albeit a cooler one most of the time, the whole region has a lot of interesting heritage, especially Irish as well as wild life with the whales, penguins etc.. The Port Fairy Folk Festival used to be a hidden gem but sadly has become “sold out” with many finding it difficult to even obtain a ticket now, and the wealthy Melbourne socialite scene has bought out a lot of the real estate for holiday homes and in turn priced many young local people out of the market. The big one for me though, and I’ve lobbied the government many times on this, is the archaic rail infrastructure and rolling stock to this region. What they still have is almost laughable on a world stage and in turn holding back potential the Deakin Campus has in Warrnambool. The highway has improved considerably but as you mentioned in your video, places like Geelong and even Ballarat hold far more job opportunities and are within an hour from Melbourne. Keep up the great work. You’re a terrific ambassador to this wonderful country 🇦🇺👌
Wollongong is regional but its a big city and it has big city problems...traffic and high rents... but it's moderated by the stunning coastline, wonderful beaches, Lake Illawarra and the mountain range.
It's also within commutable distance by car and train to Sydney. Go south and you're on your way to Kiama, Berry and the far south coast holiday beaches.
The steelworks used to be a big presence but Wollongong is better known for the Botanic Gardens and university now.
Great video! Could you include chapters for future videos? Thanks!
Gladstone Rockhampton and Bundaberg , Wide range of major stores and services usually only a short drive away when you live in the city and suburbs . Hospitals , Airports , Schools , Railway Stations and Government Services . Excellent climate in winter , can be a little hot in summer but air conditioners do the job . Coastal and ocean areas not far away . Reasonable home prices and home rentals .
Thank you for all the Hard work.
I'd say Gold Coast, Cairns, Byron bay, Newcastle and either Bendigo or Geelong for the best regional cities to live in terms of culture, nightlife and or charm/ character.
ahh yes i love the needles i step on in cairns and 3rd worst crimerate in Australia, yes the nature is beautiful, but cairns is unaffordable and crime-riddled, my place used to get broken into all the time and i wasnt even in a bad area.
@@autizgiz2756 lol maybe it's got worse in part 10 years
Paradise in Australia is the southern tip of WA. Huge trees in spectacular Forrest’s. Magnificent wine growing area at Margaret River, best beaches in the country at Albany and Esperance.
Do you mean in the middle of nowhere?
@@heyguyswhatshappening6210 no the southern tip of WA can’t be in the middle of anywhere, it’s on the edge of nowhere if you like. Hey I just told you where paradise in Australia was you might have your own idea of paradise somewhere else in the world.
@@heyguyswhatshappening6210 its literally just 2 hours away from perth. Thats not in the middle of nowhere.
WORKING IN BUNBURY -WA WAS LIKE HAVING A HOLIDAY. SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS, WHITE SANDY BEACHES SHIMMERIN WITH ZIRCONIUM, BEACH VOLLEYBALL- DRAGON BOATING -SOCCER- CATCHING CRAB FROM THE BEACH .... JUST A FEW ACTIVITIES. CLOSE TO MARGARET RIVER = 1 OF THE TOP WINE REGION OF THE WORLD, BUSSELTON... TOO MUCH TO MENTION.
I LOVED LIVING IN BUNBURY, SWEET FRIENDLY BIG ENOUGH TOWN & PLENTY OF EMPLOYMENT. 🌏🌏🏖
Albany is great if you would like to live in a town where the median age is 85
I love Australia very much ❤❤❤ nice video
😊 Mount Gambier South Australia. Certainly worth a look.
As is Toowoomba in Queensland, Tamworth in NSW.
As is Launceston Tasmania
Nsw coast line is amongst the best in the world. Jervis bay stands out its heavenly
My top 5 would be Ballarat, Bendigo, Warnambool, Mildura, Horsham. All in Victoria.
My top 5 would be: 1. Bendigo 2. Launceston. 3. Mildura. 4. Cairns and 5 Albany.
Definitely agree about Wollongong. For many many years it was considered by outsiders as dirty rundown place to live and was often overlooked for other towns especially up north. How the tides have changed over the past 10 - 15 years. The city has grown significantly and with overall change in a younger and more professional demographic it is of no surprise it is what it is today. But the locals who have been here for the last 30 or 40 years already knew this place was a well-kept secret.
The northern and central suburbs of Wollongong are nice but the southern area, suburbs like Berkeley and Warrawong are abit sketchy.
Bro just reworded gentrification
NSW Highlands are attractive, accessible to Sydney but not cheap.
There are also the towns around Canberra like Bungendore, Murrumbateman, Queanbeyan, Sutton, Yass.
Qeaunbeyan is a dive
@@sigourneywilliamson2050 Googong, Jerrabomberra, The Ridgeway, Greenleigh and some older parts on the east side of the original Queanbeyan are not. And as a bonus they are not taxed to the eyeballs like Canberra.
Cooma, Jindabyne, Michelago and Bredbo are other alternatives within cooee of Canberra.
Canberra made a landgrab at Ginninderry, who knows all the places I named, including Queanbeyan could be on the ACT's hit list some time in the future.
Sunshine Coast, Cairns, Toowoomba, Coffs Harbour, Geelong, Ballarat, Northern towns of Tassie
This is amazing! Thank you! Very helpful nowadays with the government's new focus on attracting migrants to regions.
Wagga Wagga NSW is a good regional city to live in. We have the Kapooka Army Base, RAAF Base. Two hospitals both public and private. Two major shopping centres Sturt Mall and Wagga Wagga Marketplace shopping centre suburban shopping centres CSU Charles Sturt University and Public and Private schools churches park's and playing fields.
Hi. Thank you for your great information. Which regional cities are good for IT-related jobs?
Could you please make a broad discussion video about Wollongong including pros and cons, job market, children education and so on?
Townsville North Queensland is a good
Place to live, cheap houses you can buy
Good place to get robbed too. Crime is shocking here.
@@TheWaynos73 I understand mate
You get crime everywhere, just look what happened at Bondi. It's the bloody people that need adjusting, not the location.@@TheWaynos73
You really love cold towns ;)
OK - I'm spoilt, but as of April 2024 I know that the mercury south of the Tweed River will begin dropping very soon and chilly weather will hang around until October. It's all relative - compared to Northern Europe, an Australian Winter would feel a lot like Spring - but I've had it too good for too long. I wouldn't recommend Darwin to anyone - too hot and too much violent crime - but it's definitely a plus when we can wear shorts and t-shirts 12 months a year. When the nights 'plummet' below 15 deg C, people start buying heaters and fluffy slippers ;)
Also FWIW, new arrivals need to understand that Southeast Queensland is full, as in nowhere to live unless you are either rich or have relatives there. Don't believe the 'Endless Summer' tourism ads - unless you are moving to Cairns, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise. The 'gong would be my pick of your suggestions, even with Winter just around the corner. I grew up in Sydney but I've lived everywhere except Tassie and WA - you won't find too many towns like Wollongong anywhere.
Agree with Wollongong and Geelong. Gold Coast? Visit there- but don't live there. Ballarat? Sort of- however, be prepared for VERY COLD winters. Always. Every year .
Other regional cities I'd include on this list.....Bendigo Central Victoria.
Very livable place. Also Albury-Wodonga on the Victorian- New South Wales border.
I live in Ballarat. Relocated from Melbourne. Best decision.
The Illawarra is awesome. Kiama (south of Wollongong) is absolutely stunning.
the only one I would consider regional of these is the Alpine region, the rest are very much in commuter distance or pretty much merging into the capital cities. I guess it is what you consider regional.
wollongong is nice. close to sydney too and has the nan tien temple. grand pacific drive is good too. Love your accent. is it spanish? Gold coast is a bit too hot and humid. good for holidays though. my favorite is canberra . Bright is again nice for holidays, but not to live, not enough infrastructure and lifestyle convenience. at the end of the day, there is a reason why big cities are more expensive. I love living in shanghai too.
Wow amazing
Looking at the comments i see way more better regional cities mentioned then the top 5 you have mentioned.
I'm fortunate enough to travel a lot around Australia, and have been to most of the places recommended in the comments (almost all of them). And still stand behind these top 5 for the reasons mentioned in the vid (also, it's a top 5 video, otherwise it gets too long). But appreciate the recommendations so people can explore all the options. Cheers.
We visit alpine Victoria often, beautiful place
Hi! This was informative. Can you please suggest an area for Adelaide as well. I' m coming to Adelaide in coming week!
Hi, I'm an immigrant to Australia and am required to live in a regional area for now, so i live in Adelaide. The entire state of South Australia is considered "regional" for immigration purposes for my visa (you can check yours): so it depends what kind of area you're looking for - suburban, beach-y etc... of course, u can look into Adelaide City to live in, which is a little busier, but close to trendier things like cafes, bars, etc, Glenelg is a beachy area too. A bit further down south: Brighton, Seacliff, Hove and Hallett Cove are are stunning and close to the coast. Port Adelaide is further north: coastal, incredibly pretty and liveable. You can also look into the Adelaide Hills which is further inland. Lots to explore in SA, it's a very under-rated state. Good luck mate, welcome to Australia!
Hello, can you guide me how I can take an English course in Australia?
please mention about new castle as well. Want to know about it.
Could you make a video regarding top 10 courses and jobs that are demanded in Australia or have high value of getting pr.
G'day! I would encourage you for the future to take a look at the Central Coast north of Sydney...I know a number of people who drive to Hornsby and then take the train into the city... BTW Myrtleford is pronounced "mertelford" rather than 'mirtlford'. Cheers!
What was the National Park you mentioned near Ballarat??
Hi, you might have to change the title of this vlog to “ My favourite regional areas in Australia”. Because I live in WA and obviously you have not been to WA. At least Perth. Have you been to Hobart? How about Cairns? Or Bundaberg? Port Mcquarie? Broome?
All shitholes - except Perth which she covered in another video
@@ottigreenisgo they’re not shitholes at all lol…what regional place do you come from?
@@ottigreenisgoaverage city slicker
Apollo Bay, Airlie Beach, Bowen
Fantastic little towns amazing and underrated
I love woolongong was my dream to live there
Really informative
How perfect she speaks english to improve the listening in english is incredible and how good the information is.
or "even" Melbourne... Really? Melbourne is now the biggest city in Australia with a population of 5.8 million people...
Sydney still bigger .9 mill in nsw .more traffic from Newcastle Wollongong plus qld
It's always 100K to 300K behind Sydney. And with Sydney's second airport with no curfew about to open in two years and more metros being built, that gap will only widen
Melbourne….
It’s the place to flee !!!
A S-t hole !
Sydney has a lot more people lol
@@user-rz8et4ry3u a lot of information I recently read said Melbourne overtook Sydney in population.
But either way to say "even" Melbourne is crap... it's still a major city in Australia!
The way she talks about here especially in relation to Brisbane makes it seem like it's a lot smaller than it is...
Definitely nsw has the best beaches on the east coast at least!
agree :)
In the Alpine region you need a fire plan. Some people have fire shelters.
Yes, the Gold Coast should remind people of Miami. It's development was inspired by it.
Hi, I have initiated 491 NSW EOI on end of feb 2024 (85 points). Could someone let me know when is the next invitation round? Is 85 good point to get invitation?
Wagga...Orange..Bathurst..Bendigo..Ballarat..Mount Gambier...Albury..
MILDURA should be considered too. We're on the border of Vic & Nsw
Haven’t seen any comments on Darwin. Tbh, controversial opinion here, but I really like living here. Have lived in Melbourne, Bendigo and Canberra and they’re all very different but Darwin is a great place, very different from other places in the country. It does have its flaws but it’s a nice place on the whole
Unfortunately very east coast focused. Some of the best regional towns imo are in west australia! There are so many beautiful towns just 1-2 hours from perth away that combine city living with beautiful nature.
We mentioned Perth in another video on capital cities to live in. But yes, WA deserves its own video :)
Newcastle, Bendigo, Cairns, Townsville, Toowoomba, Launceston and Sunshine Coast are also considered Regional Cities.
Do not go to Townsville if you value anything you bring there
@@Alastair_Adanaeverywhere is bad, Logan city is far worse than Townsville.
What about Townsville is it a regional areas
Can you do one on the sunshine coast 😊
imo......Too expensive. Lots of Victorians now living in QLD.
Is Canberra a regional area?
Gold coast and Wollongong should not be included simply from a wage to rent/mortgage ratio imo
Shell Habour is my favourte
Very good presentation from this young lady .Pity tho " she didn't have more time to present more ....ie south Australian regional or west Australia regional spots or tassie for that matter .Mind you it would be good to know why she didn't mention Bendigo .? Only for the reason it's about the third largest city in Victoria .and benner's is pretty big .But maybe for a other time .👈👍
Thanks for your comment. As mentioned in the vid, we'll be making more content on other regional areas :) (the video gets too long if we list more than 5 spots).
Eastern centric. 😢, south west Australia is by far the best regional area in Australia. Busselton, dunsborough, margaret River and Albany Esperance.
Lithgow nsw 1 hour from Sydney needs immigrants to improve the place house from 350 000
Qld needs rock pools. To swim at night 🌃
Kings Beach has one.
Thank you for the information! By the way, you are attractive and beautiful! 🙂👍🏻
Hello Im RUclipsr Australia too
If you were working in any of those industries in both Wollongong or Geelong, you would never be able to afford those rentals or get on the housing market. This is an unrealistic perception. Prices sky-rocketed post Covid, and are unfortunately continuing to rise exponentially around the country.
Geelong is the best. Come to Geelong 🇭🇲🤝
Love from Pakistan for you and Australia ❤❤❤,
Woolongong was a great place 25 years ago.Quiet, peaceful, underpopulated.Also very affordable. Rent was cheap, so was to buy a home. Now it's become an overpopulated shithole. Traffics terrible, Housing unaffordable, units that will become potential slums mushrooming all over the beautiful city ruining the landscape. Progress? Stupidity more like it.
Having alot of "office buildings" doesn't seem like a plus to me
Can you list more NSW regional
The only regional cities are Wollongong, Newcastle and let's just add Canberra because it's surrounded by NSW. The next biggest regional 'cities' would be Tweed Heads and Albury
Thanks for making the video. What's the top regional in Perth
Ballarat, a great place to get eventually completely broke without a real Job.
Well where to live no housing available. Situation is getting worse then canada .
timestamps please!
It's unbelievable that so many people wanting to come to Australia but Australians are sick of mass immigration.
Shame. Because without migrants the Australian economy just doesn't work today.
There must be at least twenty two "Woolongoner's" who walk faster than me to Sydney and back twice a day on Motorway
Greetings from indonesia
You missed the obvious... Newcastle?? Similar to Wollongong but bigger. Talk of rockpools... Newcastle has the oldest (bogey hole), the biggest in the southern hemisphere (Merewether Baths), and the best art deco (Newcastle ocean baths). Newcastle has on its doorstep the largest saltwater lake in Australia (Lake Macquarie), the longest beach in NSW 32 km long (Stockton, which includes the largest sand dune mass in Australia), The blue water wonderland of Port Stephens, and the Hunter Valley vineyards. Sydney is an easy drive down the freeway, and there are multiple trains per hour for only $8.90 RETURN Fri-Sun. As the second oldest city in Australia, there is more history than Ballarat. In 2010 Lonely Planet rated Newcastle in the worlds top 10 cities! There is an obvious reason why Newcastle is on multiple international passenger cruise liners itenary every year. So Newcastle was a big miss on your list. 5:32
I think in Ballarat Victoria
1 hour and 20 minutes.from.Melbourne.Many commute.to.Melb.for.work either by ar.or.train.Population 100,000 .Wonderful place.to live.amd.raise.a.family.4.bed house to.buy average $650,000

Bendigo is better.
Bendigo if very nice too.
Please please don't ever mention NEWCASTLE. Keep it the way it is.
Not exactly an Australia wide list. More of a southern east coast list
PERTH
The Gold Coast, how many foreign billionaire corporations want 1000 dollars a week
At this point I have watched first 2, clearly crime is not a consideration, the gong and Geelong
This is deceiving people, I can assure you that Wollongong, Geelong and Gold Coast are not regional. The Gold Coast also has no night life.
It may sound confusing, but all areas outside major Australian cities (Melbourne, Brisbane & Sydney) are considered regional according to government guidelines & for migration purposes.
My priority when looking for somewhere to live is first weather. You didn't mention it. I could never live out of Queensland, can't stand southern states because its too cold for me which effects my whole state of mind. I live on the Gold Coast, the rental crisis is real, locals in tents and cars because of mostly migration from southern states. I didn't watch to end of the video. But I would highly suggest Cairns where I grew up, but mention the weather as well as some people don't like humidity. Port Maquire mabe.
The Alpine region is not a regional city.
The alpine regions, if you take into account global warming it is going to be the poorest places in Australia
Why would it be among the poorest?
This is rubbish, I dont think she has been further than NSW. Wait till you get to Queensland
Since "Adelaide", "Perth", "Tasmania" & "Canberra" are also considered as regional area how you compare those cities with "Wollongong" ? Waiting for that. at least a comparison between "Adelaide" and "Wollongong". Please don't keep waiting us for long. 🧐
She had already considered them as capital cities in other video, and it was very informative
Considering Adelaide and Perth as regional is silly. Both have over a million population no way are they regional. The Gold Coast shouldn't even be considered regional.
@@davidpickford. If it's a silly thing, that thing is done by the Australian Government from years. Except Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane all other areas considered as regional. Even Canberra also a regional area. It doesn't matter how much population living there or anything else, as long as the government considered them as a region those areas will be the regional. That's it.
@@ShanakaBandara-tb7kdThat’s not true. They are categorised as such by the Federal Government purely for immigration purposes related to certain visa eligibility and incentives. The classification as “regional” has no operation beyond visa purposes for immigrants. (And bear in mind that for we Australians, we never even think about it - because we don’t need visas).
Adelaide is not a regional city dude. That’s capital city of SA
All of victoria is a hole. If you travel australia you will it very clearly does not compare to nsw and queensland. Its day and night difference
Surely you can't be serious.
Wollongong is pretty much a city lol
You are off your head martina.
