“Our family moved from Lakemba in Sydney, we easily sold our old 2 bedroom unit and traded up to something much larger here in Dubbo and we are living much more comfortably as a family... We have settled in great, we find we can get our errands done quickly and spend lots of quality time taking the kids to swimming lessons, karate, the park or even just relaxing together at home. ”
Michael
“...When an opportunity arose I suggested to my boss that I try Wellington for a term, it has been 2 years and I haven’t looked back... I think being in a country town, locals make more of an effort to ensure that you feel valued. I could not believe my luck when I found out that Wellington had an amateur theatre company (WATS) and I was quick to join up as soon as I arrived!”
Robyn
“...The sense of community in our neighbourhood is wonderful. My daughter has her school friends living nearby and we know all our neighbours. Work is only 7 minutes from my home and it’s wonderful being able to drop off kids at school and still be at work within 10 minutes.”

“...I was impressed with how easy it actually was to settle... Meeting new people through sports and similar interests was one of my first priorities, and luckily there’s plenty of sporting spirit in the Region.”
