Not an expert on either, but have been to them both. It wouldn't strike me that one was better than the other.

both places not good ?

Doncaster east is a perfect decent place to live. There is a very large westfield in Doncaster. it is as safe a place as any in the eastern suburbs.

They had a Roman army invasion yesterday but I believe it has passed.

An outbreak of Legionnaires disease can happen anywhere in Melbourne, as we have the type of climate where it can flourish.

Septic tank seepage from properties in the suburb is one of the major causes of pollution in both the Mullum Mullum and Koonung Creeks.

Looks like someone rabid Eco nutter has contributed to the Wiki, Unsubstantiated Bullsheet I would call it.

Nothing in here about it....

Although the original Koori people had a problem with the other Creek that you mentioned.

My problem with Moorabbin and Doncaster personally would be too far away from the CBD... but thats my own personal beef. Never heard of anyone mentioning pollution before in relation to those suburbs.

Wilsons Prom is definitely pollution free Apart from flotsam on the coast.

There is far far more Money in and around Doncaster than Moorabbin....Doncaster is one of the Wealthiest Suburbs in Melbourne.

hmmmm should i use a poll for doncaster east and moorabbin

Not a bad idea, why have you picked those suburbs though ?
