if by nsw you mean unsw then thats a sick option, right in the middle of the city, do part time ski instructing down at the snowies too, you'll have a blast, i work at thredbo as an instructor and we have a fair few uni kids who do it part time

if your moving to aus try and live near the coast. all of the main citys here are all on the coast. living inland would be so bad.

Seasons as in snow conditions? Well they are alright, lots of wet snow, and slush, and it doesn't last for long. Best places would Mt Hotham for steep terrain, Falls Creek for Park and Thredbo and Perisher for everything. There is not many options though in melbourne they are building a snowflex dry slope that will be mad and they might be building one in sydney so look out for that.

I hope this helped.

also for the seasons it depends what state you are in.
I live in victoria, so in summer it usually is around 30 degrees celcius, and can often get to 40 degrees.
in winter its cold and wet usually around 8-13 degrees. And for the mountains the best ones are probably perisher, thredbo or falls creek.

Enjoy.

You probably wanna live from Sydney to anywhere north.

The weather is beautiful even when its raining.

Get in contact with "Steezy_Street" he goes to Newcastle uni

If you live up their, you can go surfing everyday.

As for advice, go in the Aussie regional section.... their is plenty of threads their with advice.
