## What is Up Sticks?

Moving to Australia? Find the right suburb before you land.

Up Sticks ranks Sydney and Melbourne suburbs by the real drive time to the places that matter to you, like work, family or the beach. It then shows you the rent, schools and transit for each one, so you can choose where to live with data instead of guesswork.

HOW IT WORKS
• Add the places you need to reach, such as a workplace, a school or a relative, and set a maximum drive time for each.
• Up Sticks calculates the real road drive time to every destination and ranks the suburbs that fit all of your limits at once.
• Open any suburb to see photos of the area, typical rents, nearby schools and public transport.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
• Real drive times, not straight-line distance. The ranking reflects the roads you would actually drive.
• Filter by what matters. Set rent ranges, income and schools-nearby as hard filters before the commute cap is applied.
• Sourced data, not best guesses. Rents, census figures, schools and transit come from published datasets, with sources listed in the app.
• See the area before you fly out, with curated photos of each suburb.

COVERAGE
Up Sticks currently covers Sydney and Melbourne. More Australian cities are planned.
