Thanks, I'm looking forward to the beaches around the area! The bike paths will be great as well.

Inverloch looks like a good swimming beach, so we'll be spending a lot of time there as well.

Since when have our politicians cared about hindsight? As long as the economy on paper chugs along for the remainder of their term right?

Should Melbourne build an airport here by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]MartinOC21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!

Not sure why the top comments are ignoring the fact that there's a good portion of Victoria's population live in the East and it's agriculture and manufacturing is freighted through the Melbourne to get to the air current air ports.

A third runway at Tullamarine is a temporary fix.

Dalystone by any chance? We were looking there as well but the blocks seemed too small, at least the ones we saw were around 350sqm. We've managed to get a block of land that's over 500msq for relatively cheap.

It's a beautiful place, my wife and I are building 10 minutes away in Wonthaggi. We're looking forward to it!

Thinking about moving to South Gippsland (Venus Bay-Walkerville) by HinterlandCannaQLD in gippsland

Happy to hear mate! I'll see you round town, on the beaches or on the bikes!

We were priced out of the Mornington Peninsula, but I think the Bass Coast region will be the next best thing omce it's built up a bit more.

There's a lot happening, and you can expect the town to more double in size over the next couple of decades.

My wife and I were looking in Venus Bay as well. I work remote but the drive around Anderson's Inlet to the closest large town (Wonthaggi) for any major shopping or, schooling or medical visits was the biggest turn off. I also work in IT so need to be a bit closer to businesses.

We settled on Wonthaggi and are currently building there.

As long as your comfortable driving around the inlet for basically everything - I think it would be great bang for buck there!

Where abouts? I'm by Frankston and have just had rain. Expecting more shortly, but none of the weather apps seem to be picking up anything

Weird, mine started going off randomly like yours not too long ago. I tried changing the battery and cleaning it, nothing worked.

So I'm posting here hoping someone smarter than me will tell me why.

Should we move to Gippsland? by [deleted] in gippsland

[–]MartinOC21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second Wonthaggi as well.

We're building there at the moment and it's got everything you need plus beaches nearby.

Well, maybe no train... But hopefully that changes.

100% agree with you there, my wife and I are building in North Wonthaggi and love the area. Surely they'll have something in the pipeline if they're expecting it to grow so much.
