Hi, Melton isn't a pretty town. It's main shopping area is split by a busy main road. When I was on a reccie I preferred Sunbury which is close by and has more of a town centre. Geelong is better still and it's on the waterside which makes the whole place feel more relaxed. It's also a city rather than town but it's not so big, so you can live on the edge and border countryside if you want to get away from the city feel.

Geelong Grammar's claim to fame is Prince Charles did a year at this school when he was 17 or 18. It's expensive and looks okay from the outside but it's surroundings leave a bit to be desired - salt marsh, Geelong's open landfill and oil refineries all surround the school. It does however deliver academically.
