Have you made a Sea change from a big City?

I packed up and moved from inner city melbourne to Mandurah a few years ago, and I really miss melbourne. I miss the convenience and the people...I have n family and few friend in mandurah so I think that makes a big difference too.
But having said that, I like the things I dislike too if that makes any sense. I will definately move back to MtEliza (mornington peninsula) where I grew up to school charlotte though....education in WA is not appealing! lol

Flowerchild - MtEliza is beautiful and a great place to grow up. What school were you looking at?

We made a Tree Change fours ago from Melbourne to country Ballarat ... didn't know a sole here but having a child we soon met lots of people

Always lived within 20mins of Melb city & worked in the city ... Oh, i could NEVER live in the city again ... too relaxing here (though would have loved a sea change too) !!

Lime Slice - I was thinking of Mt Eliza but my only memories of it is driving thru on weekend jaunts to Sorrento! Is it nice? I will go and google and have a looky - thanks!

Flowerchild - it is beautiful. Has just about everything you could want and is still only an hour from town if you need it. There are some fantastic schools down there too, close to the beaches, wineries, lots of space and parks for the kids, they can ride their bikes to and from school without much hassle. Just a really nice place to be all around Im sure you will love it

Well I talked to DH and said I think we need to put out house on the market - pack up the car and head down... was the response. It won't happen quickly but I think it just might happen!

LimeSlice - I think I like the Rye area for the beaches a little more??? However I am still leaning to across the bay... Schools are my biggy for my kids - and basically you have to be there to check them out I think...

Hi ya ladies,

Mrs Mac- Dh was living down Ulladulla for many years before we met & has friends their,but we would be happy with any where between - Milton, Ulladulla,down to Batemans Bay area.I have a cousin in Nowra,but I`m not fussed about living their.
We had a week away just before xmas, the whole time i was away i just did so much,walked along the beach every afternoon,played in the park by the beach,had coffee by the beach,just felt so different.I said to DH,i don`t want to come home,& his response was,he never wanted to leave the area years ago,but there wasn`t much work there then,but times have changed,& we both can get jobs. I just want to get out of Sydney,& get away from my parents & the inlaws!! I really hope we can do it this year. Ladies, all your stories have been amazing.Thanks.
