Hi, I’m moving for my job to the Melbourne area, with my family including 3 kids (secondary school age). We lived in NZ for 2.5 years and returned to the UK in 22 so we know what we are doing, kind of 🙂. We miss living by the sea as we did in NZ so I would really appreciate some suggestions of nice family oriented coastal suburbs near (10 min drive) one of the many beaches south of Melbourne that would provide commute to Dandenong by car in under 45 mins and also gives good school options in the area. Likely moving later this year (Sept ish). Thanks in advance!!

WHat job pays enough for 3 kids in expensive Melbourne? I speak as a lowly paid UK ESL teacher.
