Dunno Noodle, looking at where schools are good and nice areas.
I see you,re looking at cheltenham I have heard of that burb and will try doing some research into areas tonight.

I've got a little pad that I have been making my notes in and I can't seem to find it right now, anyway, I was told of some of the best areas for schools, so I shall pm you with them when I find it. It's hard to find any info on the net, other than from other people. How old are your kids? Talk to you soon

my wife and i are hoping to go sometime this year. We are basically staying with friends in Carnegie when we get there so we can look around before deciding where to live. Brunswick St. would be nice!

Yes, we (Mr A & me & 2 cats) are headed to Melbourne area. No idea exactly where we want to live, so will do a month-long fact-find trip in maybe May.

Then hope to move over there for good, around July/Aug/Sep. Will probably rent for 6-12 months so we can get to know exactly where we want to live.

Seems like there are a quite few of us going - enough for a fun party when we all get there?!

As a matter of interest - how many of you other folks have actually been there?

Anya.

Hi there
My boyfriend (or should I call him "de facto"...) and I are planning on moving to Melbourne in 2005, also with 2 cats. His first trip out to Oz will be in Sept when we go for a bit of a whistlestop fact-find. I have been to Oz a few times, and in fact was born in Melbourne - though we left when I was 4 so don't start asking me where all the best bars are

We have some extended family and old family friends there, which will help settling in - surrogate parents! We're planning to rent close to the CBD to start with - Carlton, Fitzroy etc etc. Perhaps St Kilda for a bit of beach.
