There is a real sense of community here. Even though having bigger blocks means we are technically further from our neighbours than most estates, the open style fencing has meant that we talk to our neighbours more than we ever did living in other areas. There are always people out walking their dog, riding with their kids, exercising or gardening and everyone says 'Hello'. It's beautiful. Not only are the natural views are breathtaking but most home owners here take real pride in their homes and gardens. I think that the best way to describe it is to say that the sky just seems bigger. Seem odd to say but, sit outside here one night (as a lot of residents do) and you'd be able to understand what I am trying to express. Best move that we ever made.............. happy to say that this is our 'forever home.'

Bacchus Marsh still has a country feel about it despite being so accessible to the CBD by freeway (and Geelong), though I rarely want to leave. People are friendly and the shop owners & assistants are genuine and know your name. I've been impressed by Bacchus Marsh Primary School since our first tour and it hasn't failed to keep me impressed. My daughter is thriving. We need more retailers to fill up a few blank spaces in the centre ( and the centre needs a bit of a reno) and the main street but the retailers we do have are proffessional and helpful and I'm seeing improvements to the overall look all the time. There are quite a few eating places. My favourites are Indian, The local pubs and Baby Black for a good cuppa and great atmosphere and they're all walking distance to eachother. :) There's not too much traffic and it's beautiful and quiet. I love to breath in the fresh air and wish we had moved here sooner. :)
