Public transport systems
Depending on the person, public transport can either be essential or completely inconsequential. Knowing the catagory that you fall into is very important. Sydney's train system is impressive to say the least, and one can definitely get used to relying on it. It's not as if there are no other places in Australia that have a similar level of public transport. On the contrary, there are actually quite a few. That said, there are also many places, especially rural places, that do not have such luxuries. If you have found that Sydney's public transport system is something that you rely upon, it is important to take this into consideration when you plan on leaving the city.
Weather preference
When looking at other places to live, it is important to think about how you enjoyed Sydney's weather. With such a mild climate, Sydney doesn't really get much extreme weather. If this is something that you liked about living in Sydney, then that is important to consider when looking at other options. On the flipside, if you didn't like this, then it might be best to consider options with very different weather patterns. Whatever the case, it is important that you are concious of differences in weather and prepare accordingly. The last thing that you want is to find that you are unable to handle the weather in whatever city you choose to move to.
Service access
Large cities have access to a lot of different services that many people take for granted. As an example, if you were to get injured anywhere in Sydney, you would be able to get to a doctor or hospital fairly quickly. There are many areas where this simply isn't the case. Especially in rural and low population areas, building the same amount of places such as hospitals can't be financially justified. This means that you may be, in the worst case, multiple hours away from the nearest hospital. If you are used to the access to services of Sydney, you need to seriously consider whether or not you could handle such a situation. Similarly, if you are in a situation where you are regularly in need of these services, such as having a chronic illness, it is important to look for places that have quick access to what you need.
