Relocating advice

What would it be like to relocate to Darwin or Cairns or Enngonia or Oyster Bay? 

Imagine that you have to move house to one of the two places you have investigated. Create a text explaining the reasons why you have chosen one place over the other, using the data in your comparison tables you have constructed.

As an additional activity, create a mock travel advice blog post or webpage advising prospective residents on what to expect about the climate and features of one of the two places you investigated. Include advice on what weather to expect throughout the year, key climate data and what clothes and equipment are needed for the various seasons.
