I miss living in Melbourne. And there is so much more options for my little one. If (and when) I finish my education degree I'm going to seriously consider moving back. At least working in school I might avoid the ridiculous travel times like I had when I had to work in the city.

Haha, were in opposites here. My MIL is DESPERATE for us to sell and move to Launceston. And TBH, if I could find work it'd be a tempting proposition. I don't know why I life in Melbourne any more. Its great till you have to deal with the people. Heck even Drouin/Warragul is more tempting at this point.

@danwritesbooks @Thornburywitch where are you? I moved to La Trobe Valley a year ago and love it (though I still am back in the city every second week for work) and hope the local school stays open (heard rumours it might close) though once child is high school age will consider moving back for 5 years.
