Surprise town Aussies are flocking to in new internal migration trend
A new favourite has emerged as the most sought-after regional hotspot for Australians relocating within the country as Aussies look for the best place to settle. Greater Geelong in Victoria has now overtaken Queensland's Sunshine Coast to become the country's most popular destination for internal movers, according to the latest Regional Movers Index (RMI). The Victorian city now claims 9.3 per cent of the nation's total net internal migration, nudging past the Sunshine Coast's 8.9 per cent share and ending its two-year reign at the top. The report, a partnership between the Regional Australia Institute (RAI) and the Commonwealth Bank, highlights a continued post-pandemic shift from cities to regional areas, with capital-to-regional moves up nearly 11 per cent from last quarter and 20.5 per cent higher than pre-Covid levels. The index focuses specifically on movement to and from regional areas, excluding capital cities like Sydney and Melbourne from the rankings. That means Geelong's top spot doesn't mean it drew more total movers than capital cities, but among all regional destinations, it had the largest share of net internal migration in the 12 months to March this year. The figure reflects the number of people moving into an area from elsewhere in Australia, minus those moving out, making it a strong indicator of growing popularity among those seeking a "regional lifestyle" while remaining relatively close to urban centres. RAI CEO Liz Ritchie said the data confirms a long-term trend. "The nation's love affair with regional life is showing no signs of abating," she said. "Contemporary regional Australia has what people are looking for... clichéd images and misconceptions about regional living are well and truly a thing of the past." Former Sydney resident Alanna is one of these regional movers; formerly a Sydney resident, she now resides on the Sunshine Coast. "For me, it's been the fact there's no traffic and (mostly) no issues with parking," Alanna said. "I don't know if I can ever return to a one-hour commute. "I love the lifestyle I can have with my partner, being able to live by the beach and having the beautiful hinterland close by. There are great camping spots and rivers to go boating and fishing on." Geelong's rise is part of a wider boom across regional Victoria, which attracted 34 per cent of all regional net inflows in the March quarter, up from 28 per cent a year earlier. The state also produced the two fastest-growing regional local government areas — Latrobe and Murrindindi. CBA Acting Executive General Manager Josh Foster said Geelong stood out for more than its location. "In a first for the RMI, Greater Geelong has become the star performer due to its idyllic location, established services and range of employment opportunities," he said. "This is underpinned by significant government and corporate investment in the region." The regional towns Aussies are fleeing to in droves Aussie couple's cost of living solution after ditching their 9 to 5s 'Alarming' new finding highlights harsh reality for struggling Aussies Major infrastructure projects like the Geelong Convention Centre and Barwon's Women and Children's Hospital are helping drive growth. The state government has set a housing target of 128,600 new dwellings in Geelong by 2051. Sydney continues to lead net capital city outflows (64 per cent), with regional NSW securing 40 per cent of total inflows. Queensland's regional share dipped to 17 per cent from 30 per cent last year, though the state remains attractive due to its climate and housing affordability. The Sunshine Coast still ranked second overall, while locations like the Gold Coast, Townsville and Fraser Coast remain strong magnets. Elsewhere, SA's Victor Harbour and WA's Denmark and Harvey also saw strong interest from movers. Ritchie called for greater government focus on sustaining this momentum. "There are big economic gains to be made by supporting, facilitating and nurturing growth across the regions," she said. "Those benefits can only be achieved by ensuring communities have the infrastructure, facilities and funding they need."

Alanna Panday, Ivor McCray On YouTube Earnings: ‘Won't Have To Work In 5 Years'
Last Updated: The couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Edward Ivor "River" McCray VI, in July last year. Alanna Panday, cousin of actress Ananya Panday, is a social media influencer and a YouTuber. She runs her own YouTube channel along with her husband Ivor McCray, named Alanna and Ivory, through which she shares insights from her personal life. Their channel currently has 16.4 lakh active subscribers and more than 20 lakh followers on Instagram. But how much money does the couple make to live a luxurious and happening life in Los Angeles? Recently, the duo shared a video on YouTube wherein they both were seen answering some fans' frequently asked questions. When asked about how much they make as influencers, Alanna said, 'All I'll say is that the money we make is more than enough to live the lifestyle you're seeing online. We are completely financially independent, and we pay all of our bills. We saved enough money to buy our house and car. It is more than enough to lead the life you see." Ivor, on the other hand, shared the teachings of his father and grandfather regarding money and said, 'The goal is that if we stay on track, we won't have to work again in five years if we don't want to. My father and grandfather passed this mindset on to me. My grandfather was extremely wealthy, but no one knew. He would dress poorly and drive a beat-up car, despite the fact that he was wealthy. He hailed from a wealthy family, but he did not want that lifestyle for his children. He never wore the money. He told my father and he told me." He further revealed that his father told him to never discuss finances with anyone. 'He (my father) told me two things: you don't talk about finances and you don't talk about politics," said Ivor. Alanna and Ivor tied the knot in March 2023 in Mumbai after a few years of dating. The function was attended by several big Bollywood celebs, including Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan, Ananya Panday, Jackie Shroff, Rekha and others.
