Melbourne suburbs
Can anyone tell me whether any of the Melbourne suburbs (say in South East, Bayside areas) are in any way similar to towns in the UK, eg; have their own individuality, high streets etc? I know you shouldn't be comparing the UK to Oz but this is particularly relevant for young teenagers who need a focal point for example to meet their friends etc.

To be honest though I don't see a lot of teenagers hangng about the high streets, might be because theres plenty of youth / sports clubs to go to. Tennis courts open till 2am sometimes, netball & basketball clubs all over.

Thanks.

We moved to Mornington last July, we've got two boys 7 and 5, we dont have trouble filling their time. Mornington is a good place to start and so much is available and so accessable from here. I know your friends Troood and Paul as well. We love it down on the Peninsula.

We also have a 5 year old daughter. The school in Mt Eliza looks fantastic but alot of money when you've got 3 kids!!
