OZ. Does this place exist?
Here goes.
Just wondering if there is a place in OZ that meets the following criteria?
1. Climate. Mild winters and warm/hot (not 35+ heat) summers.
2. Near to the ocean.
3. Good schools.
4. Low crime.
5. Not in a city.
So does utopia exist and where is it

I wouldn't call -4 degrees winters mild. That is quite extreme, but it can get down to those temperatures during winter in tassy.

How about the South Coast of NSW, from Batemans Bay down. Nearest city is probably Canberra (3 hrs away). Not sure about crime but its near to the beach (lots of deserted ones too) and the schools are good. Climate is excellent, rarely extremely hot with nice winters too.

Try this link:
Sapphire Coast health service
As you'll see the "Sapphire Coast" area goes a fair way inland as well, so unless you want country NSW...
I've noticed that on the NSW Tourism site they just call the whole area from Berry (just south of Woollongong) to the border the South Coast:
NSW Tourism - South Coast
I grew up in Canberra and spent most of my holidays on the South Coast so I know the area pretty well. My grandfather also lives there now so if I can be of any help, just drop me a line.
That area is on our list of possible places to move too!

Thanks Sallly
I will check those sites out now.
I have looked at the climate and it ranges from 7 degrees(winter) - 27 degrees (summer). Just seems a little cool in winter. Is it?

We've found that the only problem with wanting warmer winters is that you need to go further up the coast but then you're looking at humid summers - something neither my hubby or I are particularly fond of.
