Welcome Gin Not sure who is out that way, but comments seem to always be positive about the area. It is a long commute from central Melbourne (but you get used to the long distances). Good luck with the migration Shane |

Hi there, My wife and I moved out to Ballarat from England about 3 years ago.... and its great!! Its a big country city with a population of around 80K, and its growing fast! Most things that you would need are here. Shops, good schools, good food, 2 hospitals, universities etc etc. The disadvantages are the distance to the beach is at least 1.5 hours. Also, if you travel to Melbourne often, the drive gets boring, although its only an hour to the eastern suburbs. Good luck! |
