Melbourne - The Age Newspaper
Just a quick note to say that if anyone wants me to send them a weekend copy of The Age (the Melbourne broadsheet newspaper, which includes jobs sections, real estate, etc) please send me an email.
I'll have to charge £25 to cover the cost of the paper, envelope, and postage (today's edition weighs nearly 1.3kg!) though...
Best regards.

There are just too many things about Melbourne to summarise in one posting - most of them good in my view.

Re: Melbourne - The Age Newspaper
I know, I checked the price in Australian Outlook as well ... but I'm here in Victoria and can buy this weekend's copy tomorrow, and Consyl are in Sussex.
It's your call ...
Best regards.

Seaford has the ballet school for my eldest, but that is as far as my research has gone.
Has anybody else looked into these areas.

Hi, we're heading for Melbourne too. Got our visas and we're flying out on the 30th September and travelling for two months before finishing off in Melbourne.

Chose Melbourne because of the job opportunities, city is fantastic, climate has seasons, beach on one side, mountains on the other, more affordable than Sydney... the list goes on really. We just felt that of all the cities we visited Melbourne was the one for us!
Worse thing now is waiting to hand my notice in at work!

Sorry no info but it does look nice in the pictures. My wife and I are going in Sept and that is one place on our rent hit list. Although have heard that although Williamstown is nice the areas around it are a bit industrial and to be avoided if poss... just what I heard from a Melbournite in London though. I think the best burbs are in the East south of St. Kilda/Brighton and close to the beaches but expensive I guess.

Hi everyone,
I live in Melbourne (at the moment as an international student) but my boyfriend is Australian ( we have been together for 4 years) which makes it alot easier for me to apply for residency when I have finished studying.
I just wanted to say that if anyone would like me to get them anyone would like info on Melbourne from someone already here then let me know and I can send things to you/answer any questions.
My email is [email protected]
Have a good day!

Hi Heather,
I have ben in oz for 7months now and have settled in a place called Geelong about an hour from melbourne on the other side of the water from The mornington peninsula.
I noticed you have said Frankston looks a good bet.
My wifes aunt used to live in Frankston and it is getting a bit of a bad name for itself due to commisioned housing etc.
I beleive there are a lot of nice ares still, so hope you dont mind me sending this as i thought you may like to know.
Dandenong which is close by has a terrible reputation
So just be carefull what area you settle in.
Do you now anyone in frankston???
This is only what i have heard!!!! there are still some lovely ares round about and the mornington peninsula is beautifull.
Have you visited the area before.
Kind Regards
Jamie.

Hi Jamie
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I don't know anyone in Frankston, but i have family in Rowville, at the foot of the Dandenongs. We wanted to be somewhere near a beach (as we currently live in central England), but close to family and close to the city. My cousin suggested Geelong to me the otherday on the phone.
Do you have any school age kids?
Do you know of anyother "to be avoided" areas on the peninsula?
Thanks once again, Heather
