Accommodation in Australia, like most countries, is cheaper the further you live from a city centre. Owning your own home is part of the great Australian dream, and the building industry acts in many ways as an indicator of the country's economic well-being. This section aims to provide information about the types of accommodation you may be interested in, when moving from another country or interstate.
