In Gilgandra you can build a house in one street, live in another street, have a letter addressed to your sister and the postie can still deliver it to the correct house! I forgot my groceries at parcel pick-up and the shop owner dropped them off on his way home. Children can walk safely anywhere

Hi Mel and Kochie,
My husband and I moved to Walgett (north west) Nsw, 2 years ago with our two girls. It is the best move we have made, the schools are better, it may classed as outback NSW but it is a much better place to live.

Hi Mel and Kochie!
My family and I moved onto acreage at Kilcoy (right beside Somerset Dam, South-East Qld) nearly 3 years ago. It's the most lovely place to live, so quiet and peaceful, and the people are all so lovely, they care and want to help. We will never live in suburbia again! Lisa Stibbe

I moved to Busselton in the beautiful south west last year. We are 220km south of Perth in a beautiful seaside setting. Life is so much more relaxed down here, the local community is so nice and helpful. It is great to wake up to the kookaburras every morning, and to be so close to some lovely bush

Hello Mel and Kochi, Primrose Sands is just 45 minutes from Hobart and the best beachside town in Aust. I go to sleep to the waves crashing on the beach and wake up to birds whistling , but don’t tell my secret I don’t want too many townies moving in.

We moved to South Gippsland from Melbourne 10 years ago, I can't imagine a better way of life for ourselves and our children. Our children get to be children and retain some innocence longer than their Melbourne cousins. They may not have many materialistic things but they have so much more.
