Oh ladies thank you all ever so much for all your fantastic advice, just brilliant !

So interesting as Bendigo sounds so much like Ballarat, the three difference that stand out to us are funny enough is the nice gutters and roads, for example in Ballarart alot of gutters & roads are in pathetic condition. When we purchased our brand new car a few years ago the front end of the car scraped badly do to the poor gutter entrance to the driveway. The council won't allow us to put our own ramps over the gutter, they want like everyone else $2000 to fix. To park your car on the street near the gutter there are cracks so big like there's been an earthquake. The councils way of fixing it which hardly ever is to fill it with loose stones and when there is a down pour of rain the stones wash down into the old fashion gutters and blocks the them. Many roads here have pot holes and badly need redoing.
So the the nice pathed roads and nice new neat gutters, and secondly we love the look of so many gorgeous treelined streets in Bendigo, they are so much more appealing to look at, much prettier then Ballarart.

Also we noticed some nicer looking area in Bendigo to live then Ballarart.

DP knows a guy he use to work with Melb and he a couple years ago moving to Bendigo and works there. He mentioned to my DP then that he could possibly get him work with the company he works for which is right in the city area of Bendigo. So DP emailed him today to see if any job prospects, just waiting to hear back from him.

If he did get a job there he clearly liked and salary was ideal we would sell our home in Ballarat and feel it would be best to try get a nice rental home in a decent area for just 6mths before buying to make sure Bendigo is where want to live. Keeping mind we know 6mth lease is hard to find. We did the same thing when we moved to Ballarat to make we liked it before we bought.
