Agreed, I don't mind the bay beaches at all.
The water is calm enough for the kids to swim in happily without major supervision, the sand is fine and golden, there is good fishing all around and sailing is HUGE here with at least 5-6 yacht clubs within a short bike ride. All in all everything you could want from a beach without the 10ft surf. Why is that so bad? If you're that big a surfer then I doubt you would be wanting to live in a city anyway. |

From great ocean rd website:
Travelling by car from Melbourne The Great Ocean Road is a 2-hour drive from the heart of Melbourne with dual lane highway conditions for most of the journey and excellent signposting. 90 mins!!! Bribie is almost a suburb of north brisbane. About 60 mins from CBD. Gold Coast is 45 mins. Can be almost in Bryon Bay, NSW in 90mins. To top it off you can actually swim in them all year round. Got sunburnt this winter swimming over at Stradbroke Island. Freeze your knackers off in Melbourne if you tried that in the middle of winter...sure its a great city but don't get carried away :D |

Now, lets talk about Culture. Or coffee. Or Restaurants. Or humidity. :rofl::rofl::rofl: Buzzy |

It's just Melbourne gets an unjustified raw deal so often that a defence force is necessary to redress the balance. :thumbup: Buzzy |

Sure, Brisbane was our first choice before we knew Melbourne. I can see how a happy life could be achieved in Brisbane.

Defensiveness is a sign of weakness.
