Just saw your post Ginger!!! It's scary and lots to work out but we found that now that we have made a decision things are starting to fall into place and our mindset it all going the right way!! We thought about renting out this place as well - means we would keep our foot in the Melbourne market but with another investment property I don't think we can swing it!! (Mmm might need a lotto ticket )

Would be funny if we were thinking of heading to the same place!!

Well we are working on the house right now - DH has replaced a bunch of weatherboards and my dad (nearly 70 bless his cottons) will be painting the whole outside of the house soon! Then the garden - a few odd and bods and will be close to getting an agent in (this should take all of - I dunno - 4-5 mths ) SO excited! Feels odd to be looking at child care, schools down there - (closest CC is 10 mins away - no disaster but was hoping there was a centre in town) and of course house hunting - which we shouldn't be doing yet in case we find 'the one"but can't help ourselves!
