Moving to Melbourne - seeking advise

Hello,

We are planning to move to Melbourne (from Canberra) late this year.
We don't have much idea about Melbourne's suburbs, public transports
etc. We have 2 daughters (1.5 and 3.5 yo). We would appreciate any
advise you might have specially in relation to suburbs, public
transports, kindergarten/schools for the kids etc.

I will be working at The Alfred Hospital (in Prahran). Ideally we are
looking to rent a house within 30 mins commute to work (Prahran).
Which suburbs would be good in terms of safety, good access to public
transport, kindergarten/schools.

Cheers,
Naz

Hi! Try posing this question on aus.family. We're pretty friendly there,
although lately seem to have had more than our fair share of spam.

Hi,

I live in Geelong which is only about an hour from Melbourne, your best bet
for public transport is definately trams, they are the big thing in Melb...I
can't give you much advice on suburbs and stuff but if you look on
realestate sites im sure you will find descriptions on different areas
throughout Melbourne and prices for renting etc. It should even tell you
what houses are close to schools.
Good Luck!

Yep - pop on over to aus.family for a cuppa. Plenty of Melbournites there
to answer your query.
Just be prepared to use your killfile on the cockatoo/midex and a few others
who display equal levels of insanity when you arrive and then its pretty
easy reading....
