Thanks for the reply I work at a concrete yard about 5k past Bacchus marsh which takes about 40 mins from daylesford so not too bad ,we were actually looking at a house in hepburn springs which is much the same time wise. our budget is 400,000 and I was very surprised to see a lot of of places for that price on good size blocks. Ido agree with you that you may have trouble selling at the moment as there dose seem to be a lot for sale around there but then we would commit to country live for a few years and there is always the option of renting it out if things were not for us. the problem with melbourne for us and I am sure with so many others is 400,000 is not a lot of money here and will get you a House very deep in the western suburbs which having spent several weekends driving around them dose not appeal to us so they country might be a good option,anyway thanks for your time as you probably figured out we are very undecided so feel free to sugest a few places if you like. thanks again

Hi all i was an active member of this site all through my visa application,that was 4 years ago now. we have been living in Melbourne since April 2010 had our first baby 6 months ago and loving every minute of it but we now would like to buy a house and find prices out of our reach . we were looking around daylesford/Hepburn springs and really love it out there and was wondering is there anyone out there already that could give us a heads up on life there. thank you

Hey Cam, Thanks for the reply,i've been looking online for some running clubs there is one called VRR (Victoria road runners) which sound like my kind of thing mainly just looking to hook up with like minded people and keep a bit fit at the same time. Congrats on the new baby and if you start training for sydney Marathon let me know.cheers

Hi all, i"m a 37 year old irish man living in Collingwood, Melbourne with my wife and was looking to enter a few local runs. my training is a bit sporadic but i run about 3 to 4 times a week and am aiming for the melbourne or Sydney marathon and a few Half's on the way. I do most of my running in princes park in Parkville and a few in Studley park when i,m feeling brave! anyway i'm looking for someone or a group to run with as my wife is getting fed up with all the running talk. Talk soon Alan
