Well I'm actually looking at Mordialloc or roundabout beach suburbs. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the area at all, so just wanted an opinion from someone who might be. Work is drying up in Brisbane for myhubby and Melbourne and Sydney have lots more to offer.

How about a Domain property price guide app for starters? Search for any suburb/location in Australia.

Melbourne-Torquay is equivalent to Glasgow to Dundee to put it in context (for a Celt)

Well I have lived in Mordialloc for 10 years, on the border with Parkdale. Anything in particular you need local knowledge about?

Thank you. I shall have a wee look 😊

How is the North Melbourne rental market? Tanks

Not excessively expensive - and this is me speaking from a landlord's perspective . My 2-bed, 2-bath, 1-garage townhouse has been let out for about $2500 per month. Not a bad deal, but then again, my tenants have been absolute darlings. Win-win, everyone's happy.

My 2nd Oldest Daughter lives in Torquay, it takes about 90 mins to drive there.

It's not on a direct train line either, you have to drive into Marshall station, which is a 20 minute drive from Torquay. Marshall station is 75 mins on the train from Southern Cross.

It is starting to feel like a distant burb of Melbourne now though. There are lots of commuters there.
