Hi i would avoid Melton and Werribee not that nice. Geelong is a big industrial city 2nd outside of Melbourne but is the gateway to The Great Ocean RD and has good and not so good areas. We first lived in Cheltenham bayside area very nice but have since moved to The Macedon Ranges about 1 hour commute to Melb CBD and on a direct train line with new "fast" trains in to Southern Cross. We love the Macedon Ranges so friendly, clean air , Kookaburras , kangaroos but still a great area for cafes shops ect. Oh works in the city travels in by train. The schools are a good mix , Govt's ,catholic and private.We have been very happy in this area more then Cheltenham because of the quality of life. Good luck and hope this may give up a bit of an small insight to some of the areas around Melbourne.
