Hastings Vic, Apollo Bay Vic

If you move to Apollo Bay you'll never get rid of me!

I'm sure we could work out some sort of BB custody agreement - you have Lu and I alternating weekends.

Port fairy is a gorgeous seaside town. Pretty quiet in the off season, busier in the summer. A few nice places to have coffee and eat, a great music fetival once a year and loads of surf. Yeah about 3 hrs from melb. Another lovely spot is Port Campbell. I'd live in either of those towns.

Where is Port Cambell???

Had a look at Inverloch - noice... What is Wonthaggi like - following on from Raven's comments... I like a bit of an alternate lifestyle so the moccy brigade just isn't me...

If you don't want the moccy brigade, don't move to Wonthaggi! (No offense to anyone who has or does live there!)

DH's aunty is a school teacher at the primary school there and she has some VERY scary stories to tell *shudder*.

Port Fairy is lovely, my step-sister lives in Warrnambool and loves it there.

Lakes Entrance was lovely, but very very busy- in fact, i would describe it as packed! i know it's peak season atm, but i just felt like there was way too many people there. i get the feeling you're looking for a more sleepy coastal type village, so unless you're heavily into boating, i'm not sure that it's what you're looking for. i would be more likely to head to something along the great ocean road- more rugged and sleepy.

Thanks Rainy - when I googled PortFairy I felt like I had come home! But it's about 5 hours to the inlaws. Maybe that's a good thing hey? They live up at the border near Shepparton - would that be right 5 hrs to there?

I like the green and the old houses. I even found the dream house. DH has long service mid year and that's when the whole kabang could happen...
