Hi there

We really like the idea of mornington or mount martha.... Have 3 kids 15 13 and 9 now, but they will be a year older by the time we come out there... what are the schools like? is the shopping any good? and obvious question with teenage kids, Is there much for kids to do that will keep them out of trouble..

Sorry so many quetsions.

Hi

I have just had a telephone interview for Job in Boxhill Melbourne, things are looking very positive. We have decided that we don't want to live in Boxhill as at the moment we live on the coast. Has anyone got any feedback on Aspendale as the property is reasonable and the local Primary school looks pretty good. Any comments greatfully recieved.

Thanks

Hi Folks

New here so please be gentle! :)

Can anyone tell me what the Eltham North suburb of Melbourne is like? Looks OK on Google Earth but hey - one never knows!

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
Chris

My partner and I moved to Melbourne in August`07, we've settled in well and love the place.

I know how daunting it can be making the move so thought I would offer any advise that I can.

So if you have any questions or need any advise just ask away.

Hi Ben

Welcome to POI and thanks for offering help and advice. We are hoping to come to Melbourne in March 09. We have to validate by 8 April 09. We do have some relatives in Pakeham and Philip Island and North Balwyn. We came to Melbourne last October for a wedding but was only there for 3 days and didn't really get to see much. We have no idea of where we want to live (hubby electrician). We were looking at places like Mornington Peninsula, Geelong, Mt Martha, etc. Where are you?

Please Lesley can you help. We are due to fly our to Oz in July as we already have our visa's but I feel so confused. We are not sure where to go as everyone seems to have different opinions. I don't want Queensland as I think it will be to hot and I don't want to live in some sleepy suburb with no life. What's it like in Mornington??. My partner Paul is an Electricain and I am mum to 2 children of 6 and 4. Christopher (my 6 year old) is a keen footballeer and Paul is a keen runner. At the moment we live in Norwich, England and I have been putting off the move as I am so unsure if it is the right thing to do. Do you also know how easy it will be to find accomodation in Mornington and what are the primary schools like. I just worry so much about arriving with no where to stay, no job and with 2 children, any advice you can give would be great, Many thanks Lesley.
