    ^Lol!

    BTW - I'm pretty sure you'll have mobile service, & broadband if you are only 20 minutes out. If I know the area right
    Phone, water & power would need to be looked at though.

    Bush!! for sure
    we live on an acre and love absolutely love it!
    most people around here who don't like too much maintenance just keep a goat or 2 in the garden. there's always free goats, they get passed around.
    we have a park/oval/post office/milk bar within walking distance and everything else is a short drive.
    we absolutely love it, i could never live in the city ever again.

    I would go bush. But in saying that there would have be shops within driving distance 30 minutes or so. Not massive shopping centre but a couple of shops I can browse

    I would go bush simply for the space and better lifestyle you could provide for your family. You could do so much like raise chooks, vegie garden, orchard etc. Less noise, pollution and a cleaner lifestyle all round.
