Thanks. Where we live now if fibre (in the last 6 months). We get a stunning 5Mps ( i only tried it because the package was cheaper than the one we were on at the time and i had nothing to lose!) so ADSL2+ will be fine, but it is something we have been discussing and are aware of because of me being an it engineer and the hope that I will recover enough to work again, though it does not have to be in IT. But a family friend is in Canberra (we discovered last night) and says there is no issue in getting a job in IT (their field as well). They also went out for 3 years originally and are now staying... Now having a contact there if going to help considerably, though they don't know this yetA good point mentioned by @Ganymede is the internet in Australia, it's not great, though if it's NBN enabled (fibre into the home), that's pretty much standard for what you'll be able to get here. But Tony Abbot, prevented that being rolled out effectively to the whole of Australia. So if it's important to you, make sure you look into this, otherwise you'll be stuck with ADSL2+, or superfast Cable, neither or which are actually that good. Though, thinking about it, as Canberra is where the Govt is, they may well have decent coverage there.

Give us chance to go first!Ha-ha! Told you you wouldn't be coming back!!!
You can certainly get decent beer in Australia, but in Canberra you should focus on the wine. It's a pleasure drinking a wine when you have chatted to the winemaker, in a tasting room surrounded by huge oak barrels filled with ageing wine.Oh yes! ... the food is supposed to be first rate. And you are right about craft beers. I'm so envious!
I'm taking bets.Give us chance to go first!

On the type of plane they fly out on?I'm taking bets.
A380.On the type of plane they fly out on?
Go with the 747-400, with the one stop-over for refueling.A380.
Go for it!My mother keeps reminding me off the stopovers we can have... Friends/family in Hong Kong, Sydney, Melbourne... The list is that long we would never arrive in Canberra! And then there is the lot in NZ as well....
