    Anywhere in the Gippsland Region.
    Personally I am fond of the lush green rolling hills of South Gippsland but love the Noojee, Neerim South area of Baw Baw. Warragul would be my choice of country towns if I was to go a country suburb. CLose enough to the city for an easy day trip but far enough away to be away

    Hmm maybe Daylesford, Kyneton, Woodend area, if you are looking at country areas. Personally I prefer beach areas so somewhere like Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove, Queenscliff or Torquay.

    ... me too Nai i'm a beach girl (lived in the Sth East near the beach before moving here almost killed me at first when moving here with no water nearby) but to buy a house in a beachy area we just could never afford

    BG lol your funny yeh we discussed what distance he is prepared to travel and it just couldn't be any longer than what he is doing now, other thing is he only started considering looking for another job but i think he wants to still stick to Melb CBD just incase we don't like where ever we moved to next IYKWIM ... so yeh to give you an idea it couldn't be anymore than 1hr 20mins driving or V/Line train !!

    come here, buy my house! you know you want to

    we're moving a bit less rural - a bit less small town - when the house sells. closer to work.

    if your DH is going to commute (whichever way he is going - train/car) work out what the limit of his commute is going to be time wise each day. get a map of victoria and work out how far he could get, draw a line on the map and pick from what falls within that border. pointless saying you love somewhere like bairnsdale only to find that commuting for him is impossible.

    if, however, he is going to change jobs, you could go anywhere! lol
