Isn't that where Phil from Location Location Location's grandfather settled when he moved to Oz??? He did a small segment on it when he was in the area for Wanted Down Under.

Re: Somewhere with a village-like 'feel' in Australia?
Its a valid question, each state has its own vaguaries and this place is sooooo huge. I reckon you could find a lovely 'village feel' place in any state you settle as long as you look hard enough. The job and school situation will obviously dictate some of your rationale....have you considered the NSW Cental Coast villages where you could live and then commute to Newcastle for work??

This bizarrely reminds me that I should check out The Mighty Boosh, another series that passed me by first time around.

Re: Somewhere with a village-like 'feel' in Australia?
My wife and I are seriously considering moving to Australia. We have always been drawn to villages in the UK to get away from the highly built up areas around the major towns and cities. Where could we find something similar in Australia? It would also be a bonus if these areas weren't far away from town/cities where engineering and nursing jobs are available. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
