Tree change, wanting to leave Sydney

Hi!

I’m wanting to do something which is going against the grain for my extended family who all reside in Sydney.

My husband and I are hoping to leave the Sydney suburbs and move to an acreage with our 3 young kids. It’s something that we keep coming back to and don’t want to ignore anymore.

Given none of our family have ever done this, I would love any recommendations, tips or tricks on some great regions/suburbs to move to! (I know it will be general as you don’t know us personally hehe).

I work remotely and my husband is a high school teacher.

Just in our general travels, we really like the Hunter region. Leura, Berrima, Kangaroo Valley were also lovely.

However… I would consider less of a commute time to Sydney for family that wish to visit and stay.

Thank you for your input and patience reading this! We look forward to visiting and doing some stays around NSW.
