AU states & territories
Every Australian state runs its own tenancy law, bond authority, and genuinely different geography and climate. Pick a state below, or start your own move for a plan built around your actual details.
New South Wales
Australia's most populous state -- Sydney is covered separately; this is the rest of NSW, from commutable regional cities to a genuinely different climate the further west you go.
Victoria
Australia's most compact mainland state, with an unusually well-connected regional rail network that makes Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo genuine commuter cities, not just satellite towns.
Queensland
A state that spans subtropical South East Queensland, where most of the population lives, through to tropical Far North Queensland -- genuinely two different climates under one state.
Western Australia
Australia's largest state by far -- Perth and the temperate southwest sit a world apart from the arid interior and tropical Kimberley further north.
South Australia
Centred on Adelaide, between the Adelaide Hills and the coast -- with the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale wine regions genuinely close by, not a day-trip destination.
Tasmania
An island state -- every interstate move crosses Bass Strait by ferry, with Hobart as the mild, maritime capital at the other end.
Australian Capital Territory
Australia's "bush capital" -- effectively one planned city, Canberra, built around Lake Burley Griffin, with the country's highest average disposable income.
Northern Territory
A tropical territory with two seasons, not four -- Darwin's Wet and Dry -- and the only Australian jurisdiction with no independent rental bond authority.
