Oh yes we went and nosed round there. Veeeerrrry nice indeed, and some of it veeeerrrry expensive too (surprise). Even worse, having moved in there we would want to buy a swish boat to go with having our own mooring. Maybe we could just live on the boat and rent the house out!

Yes, know what you mean. We went & had a look around a few houses & the price certainly increases when it's a waterfront property.

We noticed that some land had been acquired for a tennis club, it's near the national water sports club & don't forget the pony club....It would certainly keep you very busy living there.

How many people do you reckon could live in a Kayak?

Yay - she's back in Blighty! Good to meet you too, Caroline & family, & glad you enjoyed your visit. How did the little 'un cope with the flight home & jet lag? We have another 9 days to go here, so will no doubt be posting the 'back & nackered' post sometime after that.

As Markmywords says, we also liked Patterson Lakes (tho I will need to check out the CBD commute, as it looks like that's where I'll be working). Have found several nice areas in which to live - only problem will be deciding which one!

See you again in a couple of months, hopefully!

Cheers,
Anya.

Is it just us who snigger every time we see a reference to "water sports"? (See, Anya's not the only one who can lower the tone of the place.)

Little fella wasn't too bad with the flight. A couple of the other passenger actually commented on how well he managed. At least he had a bed to sleep in! BTW didn't realise the cots were so small & only hold a child upto the weight of 11.5kgs.

Problem is he was up at 5.30am this morn banging the toys in his cot, talking to himself full of the joys of spring! We were like this

Definately, looking forward to coming back to Melb but going to stop over for a few days on the way over to break up the journey. We feel so excited about what we saw during our visit. I've rung loads of estate agents to value our property as we've now decided to go the whole hog & sell up in order to buy a property we really like. As they say, 'In for a penny, In for a pound'.

Hope yourself & Mark are managing to holiday as well as research. At least being on the go keeps you warm. You could always participate in the water sports....

Make the most of your last 9 days.

TTFN CarolineG & family xx

Hi
Just arrived a couple of weeks ago with my wife and 2 boys aged 7 and 4. We're renting in Mount Eliza - anyone nearby fancy a coffee?? We don't know anyone here (yet)
PMs welcome...

Whens the next meet up ??? My wife needs to hear that she's not the only one missing her family and friends !! And of course make some new ones. Would be great to meet you all and compare stories.

I'll be starting work on Tues (should've been Monday but its a public holiday for the Queens Birthday !! Did you hear that in the UK??!)

Thanks
Dave
