DM: I generally get into Ballarat once a week, but with Tara currently on the 3 hour feeding plan it doesn't give me much time to get into town, do what I have to do and then get home again for her next feed. Although my parents live in Buninyong so always have the option at the moment to go there when she needs feeding, also means that I get lunch as well.

All of Tara's appt's are either at Linton or Smythesdale as Golden Plains Shire has a clinic in both places. Once we are no longer on weekly appt's they will all be at Linton and once our Mothers Group is set up they will be in Smythesdale.

We lived in Ballarat for a year when we moved up from Melbourne and then spent 6 months in Gordon (commuting to the city for work) before DH landed a job in Ballarat and we have been in Linton since Jan of this year and we just love living in a small country town but having a large regional so close.
