More information on Berwick can be found here <BERWICK> , along with a few types of property you can get for your money. The commute on the Monash is terrible and it would be easier to take the train in. Although i use to do the Monash drive every day and as long as you leave before 5.30am you should beat the traffic going in to the city. Coming out can be nightmares, sometimes you may get home in an hour other times it can be 2 hours.

Hi there

We have just returned from a reckie in melbourne and out of all the areas we looked at (35 in total) we loved Berwick. Loads for kids to do - parks, skate parks, BBQ areas, botanical gardens, lots of shops, big open spaces and very clean. the people are really friendly too.
we just thought it had everything for us as a family of 5 and will be looking to settle there once the visa come through. not only do you have everything on your doorstep but drive 10-15minutes out and you could be in the dandenong national park or high up in the mountains. sometimes i wondered whether i was in scotland as the countryside just 10 minutes out had breathtaking views.
who did you book your rental with as we will be needing one in the not too distant future!!
everyone to their own but we thought it was pretty, clean and I could live there.

Glad you liked Berwick, I don't think there are many people out there who don't!!
It sounds like you had a great time during your reccie. How long is it before you come back?

wish it was tomorrow but not back until at least this time next year - still awaiting skills assessment and then the visa can go in. so depressed at the thought of having to wait so long.
