Great at 8 AM after commuting from Melbourne. :rolleyes: I recall it as being very green, and more importantly on the road to the beach. ;) Meryl http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/ncas/multime...html#population

I've spent many an Easter, Queen's Birthday weekend etc playing in the tournaments there. Belmont itself doesn't seem too bad either. Good luck! OzTennis :flag:

Its pretty good. near to town and jobs, quiet enough and house prices are quite good. It was also described as 'lovely by a nice lady in the Geelong tourist agency. Take a look at Grovedale and Highton as well. Im a vehicle mechanic by trade so maybe we'll get to fix up some old crocks together. Live the dream Taff :thumbs up:

Good luck with the visa process hope it all goes smoothly.

Also I' m wondering about schools and childcare facilities in the area as I'm hoping to find work as a child care co ordinator when we eventually move there, if anyone has any info i would appreciate it.Thanks

Elite Member Posts: 503 Group: Members Member #390 Joined: 21 September 2005	Hi There are plenty of good suburbs in Geelong, and all seem to have lots to do - plenty of sports facilities, tracks for running cycling, playgrounds etc. We are in Highton and have friends in Wandana Heights, Belmont, Grovedale and Waurn Ponds. All seem to be happy and we are not far from all that we could need. My two are 11 and 15 - both are happy here. There are plenty of childcare facilities for working in that area. If I can be of any help just ask

Houses are not too expensive compared to Melbourne and some of the surrounding suburbs. Good Luck :waving:
