Berwick is a nice area, easy to get to some lovely country from there and not too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolvesaussie Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Only if you drive - the Geelong -Southern Cross trains generally take one hour, and there are now more of them since the Regional Rail Link came in, and there are plenty of available seats on all trains. I work within walking distance of Southern Cross, but if you work anywhere in the CBD it can't be much more than 20mins away? I strongly recommend Geelong West, we love it here, it is a great community - loads to do, plenty of great shops, restaurants etc and close to the coast. But house prices are rising fast here also... Your lucky, I used to work in Richmond and it used to drive me mad getting out there from South Cross... Got a job in Geelong now so its no issue but I would have loved a job at NAB, Ethiad, Channel 9, AGL etc near to Southern Cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, getting to Richmond would be tough, good you're working in Gtown now… I am at NAB, though further up Bourke St a little, 10 mins' walk.

Suzukiscottie Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thank you, How do I understand the grading on the schools? The schools here aren't really graded as such. You can use the info on myschools to look at things like how many kids are in the top tier of the school compared to Aussie average, how many go on to tertiary study, the socio-economic rating if the school etc. In many cases you'll be limited to going to schools in the catchment area anyway. We had 2 kids who finished schooling at a local govt school who are both now in Uni doing very well. 3rd child in a local private school, for personal reasons I'm not going into, also doing very well. A nice school environment does help no doubt, but the kids also have to be willing to learn. Unfortunately every school will have their small element of disruptive kids etc, so there is always an element of risk. Get involved with the school, get to know teachers etc. it all helps.

Major Tom Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 How spooky is this, we decided that Berwick was the area we'd like the most to settle, I have had a message from two companies in Dandelong and Hallam to give them a call when I land in Oz.............I could nearly walk to work!! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
