My family and I are moving to Sydney from Christchurch NZ in January 2012. We have 2 daughters, aged 6 and 3.

I will be based in Mascot for my work. We are wanting some advice on which suburbs would suit our needs - not too far to travel to work, good public school options, safe/family-friendly area. We will have around $800-$950 a week available for rent.

Many thanks
