We are intially staying with a friend of a friend in South Yarra for a few weeks before heading off and doing some travelling for a couple of months. During that time we'll drive around the bay and see which towns we like. We definately want to live by the bay as we are from Brighton in the UK. We like St Kilda area because it's like Brighton but also like Williamstown but have been looking at Altona on the internet as we could rent a house there. What we might do is spend initial 6 months in St Kilda and then take our time to look for something bigger - depends on how many visitors we are likely to get!

Don't forget to let us know which flight you are on! There is a chap from Britvics who is flying out the day after us to Singapore for a stopover so said we would meet up. Are you going straight to Mel or having a stopover?

See ya
