Had an email from our case officer, all docs received and processing continues......hope it doesn't take too much longer!

Your not missing much in Melbourne right now Miss C. Weve got wind, rain hail & it freezin.

Sunny and 20 degrees here! I think I spend the summer here and hopefully all things ok will be in melbourne around september and look forward to another summer!:cool:

Give it 3 years & when its 20 degrees you will be putting the heating on.:D

Bordy, can you tell me a little about the area in Melbourne that you live, we have some friends in the Ringwood area, but other than that we have no idea where to start looking, what areas to steer clear of etc.
Thanks

I'm about 20mins from Ringwood in a little suburb called Ferntree Gully. Its not as busy as ringwood, has more of a small town feel to it. Its 1 Hr from the city by train or half hours drive. Its a pretty good area to live in as are most around the South Eastern. I like Berwick to, its growing fast but a very nice area.
We have huge shopping malls close by, Knox city 5 mins away, Eastland in Ringwood & Fountain Gate near Berwick. Only 20 mins drive to the Dandenong hills where there are some great little towns like Olinda, Sassafras, Monbulk etc.
Areas I'd personally avoid are Dandenong, Springvale & Hampton.

Use this website & go to suburb profile, type in the name of the suburb & you will get more info.
