I live in Berwick,arrived here on the 31st December 2016 with my wife and 2 kids.We love it here,pros are the village feel it has but with the city not to far away you have the best of both worlds.
Cons are obviously the commute if you are working in the city,I work around the CBD but travel in early in the morning to avoid the really heavy traffic,coming home is a hit or a miss really,Fridays are particularly bad due to most knocking off early.
Schools are great as well,we enrolled our 2 at Timbarra and they love it,settled so easily.
Good luck in your journey,there ain't much not to love about Berwick.
Gary.
