Hello Again, Buzz
I live in South Gippsland - about 2 hours south of Melbourne, a little seaside town called Inverloch (pop 2000, in the winter at least). Lived in Melb. for the first 10 years I was here and loved it but the small towns have a lot going for them,especially once you have a family. We are close to 2 larger "towns" Wonthaggi and Leongatha which provide most of the employment. If you like the quieter, outdoorsy life but still want to be close to a big city to get your "fix" from time to time, South Gippsland is a good option - especially if you like the sea - beautiful coastline down here. Melbourne is certainly not the be all and end all of Victoria. The major drawback is the employment opportunities which are very limited compared to Melbourne of course.
