Toolern Vale is north-east(ish) of Melton - about a 5 minute drive, I would think. We lived in Dunvegan Drive and my daughter used to go to kindy at Toolern Vale - 3 minutes door to door, about 23 years ago. Don't think things have changed that much since then. Cheers LynnH

rodimus Personally, I would go for the double garage. We lived in Melton for a while - winters can get pretty cold, and it's much easier to get off to work/school etc if one doesn't have to get the ice off the car windscreen first! :) But that's just my opinion. Cheers LynnH

Peter Mmm ... sandflies. :( We get those here, too - one of the drawbacks of having beautiful water views, I guess. Funny thing is - they love me, but hubby and the girls aren't bothered by 'em. I agree - Tassie is perfect - lived there many years ago, and it was bliss! Don't know how I'd...

Peter 14.7 "Melton ... (is like) ... Frankston without the water but with the acreage and horses" ... AND the FLIES - I remember they used to drive me crazy when we were living there!!! No reason not to buy in Melton, of course, but they are probably my most vivid memory of living there...

Thanks, Toon - will check things out in Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong. Thanks to all for your valued input! :) Cheers LynnH

Twitch and tobe Thanks for your comments - obviously more research is needed, so it's back to the computer for me!! Cheers LynnH

our obsession Thanks for the VG figures. Looks like valuations went no-where between 1987 and 1994 (from our sale and your figures above), but have followed the "doubled in 10 years" theme since then. Mmm - might be worth another look! One for the Melburnians - we were thinking the...

Twitch - what a brilliant description!! Spot on! Traveller - you'd be waiting for a loooong time for capital growth, IMHO. We sold a house in Melton in 1987 for $87,000 - today it would be flat out being worth $185,000. 'Tis the only house we have ever owned (over 4 states) which hasn't...
