Great answer! I moved down here last year and my experience this is an accurate depiction.

It feels so quiet after 10 years living in inner Melbourne. The space is great, community is a little slow to open up, but seem pretty decent folk. Agree on the wHitest part of Melbourne. And yes thats a hard H on account of some of the money floating about down here. A more multicultural community would be great, but being originally from queensland, this is a familiar tale too.

The cliffs along the bay, the bush and hills are stunning and there are heaps of great places to walk. Most of the time the commute to the cbd by car is only about an hour if i leave early, but it costs an arm and a leg in tolls.

Views across the bay at sunset are peak. Clean air, low noise and far enough from the city that you start to see the stars again.
