Hi Linda,
We don't have children to take with us but I am familiar with Melbourne because I have family there and I think you are right, every city has grafitti etc and Melbourne no more than any other. In fact compared to London... well, there is no comparison! We love it and confess to being a little baffled by some of the negative posts - but everyone to their own opinion! I think you are exactly right, living in a new place is hard and if you expect it to be it will be less of a shock. With your attitude, you can't fail to love it, I'm sure.
Make sure you let us know how you get on.
