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?
