are you guys moving here???well as far as i know Epping and Pennant Hills are quite nice(new housing estates etc up there)..not too sure about carlingford though..will ask around for you..i'm down south, near cronulla(which is beautiful besides the occasional riot!!lol)so am not exactly sure of those places..my aunt and uncle live out west though at winston hills(just past pennant hills i'm pretty sure)and love it..great facilities, playgrounds, schools, bike tracks etc since it is a newish estate..and since the new motorway opened its super quick to get anywhere in sydney from there too..most of nth sydney is great too.
