No problem Michelle. With regards to Templestowe etc, it depends what price range you are looking at, it is an outer eastern suburb, and there are many nice suburbs in the eastern region, the eastern freeway connects most of the suburbs out here, and then it becomes the Frankston freeway/tollway, so you can get from the city, right through the heart of the eastern suburbs, through Fitzroy, Kew, Hawthorn, Doncaster, Box Hill, Blackburn, Ringwood, Waverley (Monash) down to Frankston, Mornington, Portsea etc in no time. Many of the best private schools are accessible from Templestowe (depends if you want private) otherwise there are some good secondary high schools (my kids went to Doncaster Secondary College - very good, very academic) but you have to look around obviously. Box Hill High is good. There are some 'select' entry high schools for bright kids in Melbourne (Melbourne High, McRobertson Girls High). In Templestowe there are mainly buses, but they all connect to the main train station (Box Hill is a big 'transport' hub. The large shopping complex Doncaster Shoppingtown also has a bus depot, connecting to all the surrounding schools.

Any other information you need I might be able to find out for you. Maybe some of this helps.
Kind regards
Olly
