The 36 year-old, who is currently pregnant with her fourth child, is emigrating to Australia with her husband Harry Kewell and their two daughters, Ruby (8), Matilda (3), and their son Taylor (10).

Her husband Harry, who is originally from Australia, has recently joined the Melbourne Victory football team and the former Emmerdale star is moving the whole family Down under to join him.

Murphy was waved off in style by her WAG friends Coleen Rooney and Alex Gerrard at a leaving party in Liverpool. And her pals treated the mum with bags and bags of generous gifts galore.

As well as the WAGS, there were plenty of celebs present at the party including Coronation Street’s actress Kym Marsh, Hollyoaks’ star Gemma Merna and Sheree’s former co-star Charley Webb.

Despite hiring an international removals firm to transport all the family’s belongings all the way to Australia, Sheree reportedly didn’t look too nervous about the big move.

For almost a decade, Vancouver in Canada has held the title in the annual Global Liveability Survey but the latest results has found that Australia has now topped the list; so if you want to live in the best rated location in the world use Robinsons International’s expert shipping Australia services to transport all your belongings.

The cities were assessed on stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure; and Australia and Canadian cities dominated seven out of the top 10 spots.

The most liveable cities 2011 were;

1.             Melbourne (Australia)

2.             Vienna (Austria)

3.             Vancouver (Canada)

4.             Toronto (Canada)

5.             Calgary (Canada)

6.             Sydney (Australia)

7.             Helsinki (Finland)

8.             Perth (Australia)

9.             Adelaide (Australia)

10.          Auckland (New Zealand)

As part of the survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit, 140 cities were surveyed. It said scores in Europe were down due to the Eurozone crisis which resulted in Athens, in Greece falling by 2.5%. The impact of the civil war in Libya has also decreased the liveability scores across the Middle East and North Africa. London in England ranked 53.

Australia reportedly recorded high due to relatively low crime rates and despite the rising costs of living, the cities offer a range of highly attractive factors.

According the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ quarterly social trends report released yesterday, people are moving house more often.

The figures painted the portrait of an increasingly mobile population across Australia with the desire for a bigger or better home, or a recent dwelling purchase, generally the most common reasons for moving.

Every second married couple with children had moved in the five years to 2007-08 and young people with no children were the most likely to find a new home (90 per cent) citing forming new relationships, as the reason for making a move.

45 per cent of families with dependent children moved within a five-year period compared to 17 per cent of older households without children.

For the small proportion of people who had a desire to move in the next 12 months, but considered it unlikely to happen, financial reasons were the most commonly reported barrier.

Research, carried out by Mercer, revealed that all five Australian cities included on its annual cost of living survey moved down the rankings significantly this year, primarily as a result of worldwide currency fluctuations.

While Sydney remains the most expensive Australian city for expatriates, it has slipped down the rankings from the 15th most expensive city overall to 66th. The next most expensive Australian city is Melbourne in 92nd place (it was 36th in 2008) followed by Brisbane in 116th (from 57th place last year), Perth one place further back (53rd in 2008). Adelaide is the cheapest Australian city included in the survey, ranked 130th, down from 73rd last year.

What’s more, the survey found that the differences in the cost of living between different Australian states is narrowing, with the cost of common expatriate living expenses now competing on a more level playing field between the states – a trend which mirrors recent remuneration and Consumer Price Index (CPI) trends.

The Mercer research for international movers also stated that this positive data would make the country far more attractive to multinational organisations seeking to manage and contain the costs of a mobile workforce in tighter economic conditions.

“Across the Asia Pacific region, Australian cities are extremely cost-competitive destinations for global workers in comparison to cities such as Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Osaka, which have all climbed in the rankings this year,” stated Rob Knox, head of Mercer’s information product solutions business. “This helps makes Australia a very attractive hub for companies looking to grow their presence in the Asia Pacific region.”
