I hope other's decide to follow you as this is such a new forum and I'm sure I'm not the only one to get the impression that most who view it think that it's a QLD only forum. Ordinarily I would do some geographical zoning, but I can't for at least some time yet, for obvious reasons :lol: Anyway, thanks for joining up. I see you've already got in the spirit of things with a few other postings. Be chatting some more with you soon. DS

I have a feeling you will be speaking to me soon. What area are you thinking of? Frankston is a fantastic location, south of Melbourne. Close friends of mine and Kath live in South Frankston, she is PA to head of a school??????????? All the Best Aircon

If you mention the other forums in code, you will be fine - yes as we dont want to be advertising other forums really Bex when we are trying to build this one up. I worked in Victoria lecturing in 2003 for a time.

Redback Posts: 1 Group: Members Member #131 Joined: June 23, 2007	Hi Bex, This is my first post on this forum as I've just joined and yours was the first post I read so I thought I'd say hi and good luck with the move. I'm also going out to Melbourne but not until 2008. All the visas are done so now we need to decide how and where we're going to go. I'm married with two insane kids, both under 4, so I'm hoping to go to a good spot like Brighton with leafy suberbs and near the beach. Only trouble is it's a bit pricey. I could really use a lowdown on the the best areas of Melbourne to live in. I lived there in 93 for a year but things change and I can't remember many of the places I went to. If you or anyone else reading this thread knows of a good honest online guide to the best spots for families to live in I'd love to hear from you. Cheers, Greg
