Tazzn Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 WOW KevBThat is so awesome.. may just have to take you up on that offer later this year. Our initial plan was to go to the Gold coast but now I have a job interview in Melbourne and if that goes well our plans will change and we will be heading to Melbourne middle of this year. Of course all our research has been for Gold coast and we don't know anyone in Melbourne (except some awesome cyper friends ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hi Mel-BWe were previously in Mount Eliza, but have recently built in Cranbourne West. Let me know if you need any more info.CheersHi TazznGreat news, sure you will love Melbourne ?Let me know if you need any specific help.CheersHi KimmykinsHappy to try and help!Area to live- Melbourne is vast, as you probably know. My advice would be to try and figure out where you are likely to work and then we can discuss good areas close by- let me know? Would it be west, south-east, peninsula, CBD, etc?I've heard mixed stories on public schools - our children go to a Catholic school and are very happy. Other Saffers we know have recently taken kids out of public school as they hated it. Again, first try and figure out where you will be settling and then look at school options.Hope i can help further with more info.CheersHi KimmykinsHappy to try and help!Area to live- Melbourne is vast, as you probably know.

Mel-B Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks! I also think knowing where you will be working helps to establish an area choice. So many options for great suburbs! Have a great day everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
