That sounds ok but what if you want a private bbq how would that work? I love a party but dont quite like the sound of that set up. Now just to sound really thick whats a duplex?
What houses are you all after?

Don't want to be tied to a mortgage again at the moment, and at present don't know where or when we want to commit to one particular place.
Where we are (Williamstown, Melbourne) is lovely, but there are lots of places in Melbourne; Victoria, other states; we want to find out about before making such a serious decision.
But that is just us..........
