If you are both going to work in the CBD I would say that the commute might get you down eventually especially if you are balancing childcare at the start and end of each day.

Lots are moving to Frankston. I like it and think it will come up. Slight Skegness feel about it but really it is going to posh up very quickly.

I plan to work local once i find child care, and hubby plans o work where he can get a job, although hopefully not too far (he is in graphic pree press)
have given ourselves 4 weeks to find somewhere we like (like the sound of ferntree gully, patterson lakes, and mount eliza?)
