I found this map of Melbourne and its surrounding suburbs. I found it handy when trying to visualise where places are.

Hope it helps anyone thinking of making the move.

I would like to recommend http://maps.google.com/

I predict that google will soon be as big as microsoft. They are so bloody good at whatever they do, and it's all free!

Try this online map:

Everyone thinking of moving to Australia or already here needs it, whether you want street, suburb, or national detail, its superb! Its also gives directions.

We couldnt have managed without it and still use it although we have been living in Melbourne for 9 months.

I wish someone had told us about it while we were still in the UK - it would have made life so much easier.

so useful!! thank you
