Hello Forumites,


Is there anyone out there who hails from Melbourne? We, hubby and 3 kids, will be moving out in December 2016 and are currently researching beachy suburbs to live in. I will be going out for 3 weeks in Jan to do a recci and suss out areas and hopefully visit a few schools. Currently looking at Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham, Mordiallac and Parkdale but don't really know much about any yet.


Any tips or advice would be fab. Thx

Hiya


From Melbourne now in Dulwich. Melbourne very large suburban city. Anywhere around the bay is lovely - near beaches etc., though its not tidal and the beaches can be a little bit boring. Those closest to town South Melbourne are more urban the further from Melbourne they become more social etc., I would also look at up near Melbourne University (Parkville)and also Richmond and if you can afford it Torak.


Enjoy

Also from Melbourne and living in ED.


Grew up not far from the bayside suburbs you mentioned (in Ormond) and think it's a great place to live. If we do go back, the places you mention are probably the areas we'll be looking in too. Only negative is the transport into city can be a bit tedious from those areas if you or hubby are working centrally. The Sandringham line is notorius for delays and cancellations. Although, this is going back a few years to when I lived there, so maybe things have improved.


If you have any questions before or after your trip, happy to help.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
