Hi, I hope I can help indirectly... probably not but the few things I know about the region are:

Daylesford: the only thing I know for sure about Daylesford is no-one on the internet talks about it. I take that as a good sign. But I've heard it's very lgbt friendly, as is Trentham, which I'd assume is sign of an accepting vibe. On the other hand, both Lismore and Launceston are supposed to be queer-friendly and those places, ahem, suck.

Additionally, you can check out videos of Castlemaine on Youtube which give a pretty welcoming, if rough around the edges, vibe.

Maldon: Wasp Season here is full-on and they are VERY friendly. Which I personally cannot handle.

Water shortages are real.

Bright has a big Tick problem. Not sure if that has any bearing on the Goldfields region.

Mines. No info on them but something I would want to ask the locals about if I had children.

Snakes. Again, could be pure scaremongering on my part but I live in Tasmania currently and we don't go out in February (Tiger Snake Mating Season).

If you're already there can you let us know how it's going?

Absolutely nothing. I raised my Daughter there and am from Sydney originally. My Daughter is now 21 and we live in seperate abies in Sydney, with the intention to move back to Daylesford by the end of the year. The people are kind hearted and have integrity. Parenting is what makes a child's future, environment being as important. Daylesford offers these two integral needs to provide the needs for both child and parent/s.
