Mara Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Sheesh, Melbourne is growing, with South Africans! Welcome, may you have a good journey.

HollanderInOz Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Thanks Mara, you'll hear from us soon - very soon! Steve (AReyeP previously from Melbourne, now in Johannesburg) has just convinced us that Sunbury is the place for us - referring to a lot of your posts as well. We considered Templestowe and Doncaster due to the fact that it is closer to the cbd, but Sunbury seems to have everything we are looking for. Will chat to you soon!

Ungerers (Tanja U) Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 HI,We are also not sure but looking at Wheelers Hill, Mount Waverley, Glen Waverley as it is 5km from hubbies work and on train routes for me if I want to go out and about but who knows, maybe we find something else.

First want to find a church and then see where the community lives.Speak soon THiIf you arel looking for n chucrh , check out City Life on the net. They are really great and on Sunday I walked in with another couple also coming from SA and it felt like home. It is near the area you are looking for housing. We live in Wheelers Hill and my GPS says it is 7.6km from here. They are busy with a new road the Eastlink and then it will be a 2 min drive to go there. THey also have a great school at the back of the church . If you are still looking for accomodation I can look at the churchÅ› notice board. Otherwise check out wotif.com.au and totaltravel.com.au and also check out house swapping which is the cheapest way of living. Neola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibaba Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 We considered Sunbury too, but it's too far from hubby's work (Eastern side of CBD). Found a place (took a rental over from an SA lady that had to go back to SA) in Templestowe and I love it here. It is very hilly, big green trees and very quiet. It is really a lovely area to live in. Enough stores, etc nearby. Houses are quite expensive, so may not be able to eventually buy here.

We found a property in Wheelers Hill, it is such a nice suburb. But if you are not succesful here in Wheelers Hill you can also look at Wantirna, Wantirna South and even Knoxfield. They are all very nice areas and in the vacinity of Wheelers Hill.PM me if you need any help. We will gladly assist.Take CareTanja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until I know it's English. Many have warned us that properties are scarce and it takes a while to get a rental house. Is this true as we've been looking at the Domain website and can see plenty properies for rent in the Wheeler's Hill area?The plan is to live in a furnished apartment until we can secure a home mainly because I'm not sure you can secure a rental home from here.Your advice will be welcome.Francois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
