Sorry Ginger, I did a post last night and my laptop froze when I hit post and I guess did not post it.

DH friend has a family holiday house across from the beach, you can't see the beach though because of the trees.
There are a few nice private schools around. It just depends on how far you want your boys to travel. I know in Mossvale there is a great private school. Will have to look up the name. I don't think you will be disapointed with a move to the area at all. Small towns like Callala are lovely,
