my melbourne

Hello Kirsty & Al,just noticed on one of the threads that you live in Somerville.We are looking around that area(and others)and wondered if you could tell me what it is lke.How far to the beach,schools,shops and CBD etc.We have friends in Skye and would like to be within reach of them,how far it it from you to Skye?Sorry to bombard you with all these questions but its hard trying to imagine what the distances are between places.We are staying in a hotel initially for 2 weeks so we have very little time to find the right area!Thanks for your time.Linda
