This is a really interesting post. Its something I've been meaning to ask about myself as we will hopefully be heading to Victoria in the new year and don't particularly want to live in Melbourne.
So thanks Buzz!

Hi

Does anyone have any views on Warrandyte? We are heading that way in January. From what we can research from this end it looks ok but obviously there is only so much you can find out on the web.

thanks

Michelle

The nearest town would be Seymour and its quite a hike from Melbourne up the Hume freeway. So follow the Hume on google and you will get an idea of the suburbs of Melbourne that may be commutable for you.

Hi Buzz,
Have you been on realestate.com.au at all? Click on Victoria (yep that pointy bit at the bottom!) and you can click on some suburbs prices etc. The only thing you have to remember is that everywhere can be a long way here, even though Victoria is only 'small', I think the Uk fits into it about twice or something! Melbourne is a great place, lots of great places to live, check out the Yarra Valley area - not too far out of the city, lots of new estates out there now. Depends if you have to get certain transport to places. Check out also the Mornington Peninsula and surrounds, places like Frankston are still quite affordable, and it is now only an hour from Melbourne city on the freeway (or should I say tollway!, but not all of it is tolled, some of it is free).
Good luck with it all.
Olly

Michelle,
Warrandyte is beautiful, the river runs through it, and it is very bushy. Many of the houses there are lovely, it is not too far from Melbourne and is one of the lovely eastern suburbs, BUT because it is so bushy some people worry about the hazards of bush fire sweeping through there, but again I guess anywhere in Australia can be bushfire hazard. Look at some surrounding suburbs as well, such as Eltham, Diamond Creek, North Ringwood, Doncaster, Templestowe (great amenities/schools etc/public transport etc)
cheers
Olly

Will you be working in Melbourne Buzz or are you looking for country areas. There are some lovely towns to live in in the country. Alexandra, Mansfield especially if you like skiing. Wangaratta, Albury Wodonga, Yarrawonga, Rushworth, Bendigo all nice places.

Much quieter than the city but nice life.

We are looking at moving outside of emlbourne hence the questions, currently work in a lab testing textiles and wondered whether or not this would be viable in the smaller towns outside of melbourne?

This is starting to become quite a good thread and i think answers some questions that always get forgotten. too many people want to just move to the state capitals and forget about everywhere else.

Keep em coming please

Regards, Buzz
