Ahhh dear you made me laugh.

Well ok I made myself laugh cause I didn't think that said blocks LOL:rofl:

The aborigine pronunciation of Eltham is a bit weird.

Wouldn't say it was a Brit ghetto just the end of the line - literally. It is not a very nice place - the town centre is run down - and no amount of estates will change that. Officer might get away with it. It's only real saving grace is that it is the gateway to Gippsland and bits of the rural countryside around it have genuine (local) history.

Hi, can anyone give me any information on Boronia. We have heard mixed reports, any info would be appreciated, cheers:thumbsup:

I use to own a house there. I lived there for about 2 years. I enjoyed it there. It has lots of green space, great bike tracks, close to Knox shopping centre which has everything you need and good access into Melbourne CBD. I didn't have children at the time so don't know about schools.

To make a over-generalised and unsubstantiated point. It does appear that any development with the word Lake or Lakes in it's title does seem to attract a lot of Brits. :D

Hmmm I've heard about people naming kids after where they where conceived .... "Pakenham upper" is probably the strangest though :D
