Wargod, I agree with aussie73, come & look for yourself, both places have a very different feel. Personally I coudnt live in Melb, I dont like it, but plenty of people do

Hi - we're from Hanham.. We started off thinking about Brisbane (though without much research). However, once we passed the TRA we researched more thoroughly and decided on Melbourne. Thought likes Hevs about the climate + the fact of nearby skiing (of some sort). Also plenty of printing companies for husband's work (hopefully). Continued searching and found more and more we liked about the city. Obviously we won't know for sure until we live there

Exactly wheen in it at I was thinking. Ours is solar heated all year round and I have been in it every month that has an "R" in it and 4 that havent

This is the best time of year in Brisbane IMHO.

Believe me if i'd let them my kids would have been in today! But i'm mean and won't let them in 19 or below

However i was only replying to Wargod who said he didn't want to live in Mellie bacause he wanted a pool, i was letting him know that there are many of us who have this option

and we live in Mellie......

Re: Changing our mind.....

Our pool, in Melly, is not heated, and we used it between December and March. I don't think it was ready prior to that.

It is normally about 20c. I don't swim in it less than that.

Bloody hell, the pool guy who did the heating was telling us how the solar heating correctly installed will keep the temp at 29 or above for at least 8 months of the year which is the temp that the majority of people find is the minimum comfort level or swimming. I thought "29? geez, that sounds pretty warm" but trust me, once it drops much below it, it feels cold.

I guess someone forgot to tell your swimming pool that though :scared:
