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
