    Thanks everyone I will google the places mentioned and see what I can work out.

    i guess what it is, is that apart from owning 4 horses 2 dogs and a zoo worth of other animals, I am a bushy, I just didn't like living in the burbs of darwin had to move rural. great dream job, but dont want to be living in the city.

    and dont forget the landrover, it needs regular play off road or it sulks

    You don't like Darwin burbs and you are thinking of moving to Melbourne


    mind you the landrover would enjoy it more down that way

    Working in Melbourne but living out side of it if I can. Everyone has to remember that the population of Parramatta is greater than the population of the entire Northern Territory including the Tiwi islands

    Quite probably will be Brian but it is one of those things where if I dont do it I will always wonder if I could have.

    also both Kathy and my parents are getting older, and we just dont get to see them living up here, where if we were down there it is only an hour flight to either parents in oposite directions. and cheap down there flights from here are exccy no matter where you go.

    Have you thought of trying to lease a place for about a year,, gives you a good chance to look around and work things out with your own tilt on things.
    If you cant lease a small farm, theres heap of agistment around Melb.

    Crikey Mate, I'm a Melbourne boy, born and breed and I hate the **** hole.
    Three days and counting, I'm back up to QLD and my house in Hervey Bay.
    If the traffic is not enough to want to make you neck yourself, the weather will.
    Best advice I or anyone else could give you would be, take some time to travel down to Melbourne and drive around some of the places mentioned and get a feel for the place.
    Places like Yea, Marysville before the fires, Healsville, Black Spur, Reefton Spur are great and the Yarra Valley/Dandenong Ranges are beautiful but on the weekend the traffic can be horrendous getting there and back.
    Then during the snow season on a Sunday arvo, the Melba Highway can be gridlocked.
    Go for a look first Mate, thats the best thing you could do.
