Agree with that. I did two stints there one in the 80's and one in the 90's. Easy lifestyle, as an expat they do not give you much grief. RBA have internal probs, as do most airlines. Good for family life, can be a bit tame if your single although plenty of sports, water sports, play in the jungle on bikes type of fun. If you want to party you go to Miri, Labuan, Limbang or further afield to get your rocks off.
I recall schooling was a worry, if you have kids, apart from that, easy first expat step.
