Even during the taxing and frustrating times of a COVID pandemic, it's a pleasure to live on Symes Street. A friendly hello from the safety and security of your garden to neighbours passing on the street, to the waggy tails of happy doggies who have managed to escape for some fresh air.

The sight and sounds of the eucalypts and their wildlife in one direction, and the convenience of Lansell Square just a short walk away make this a wonderful location to raise a family or retire to in tranquility.

My wife and I took the plunge and decided to relocate from Glen Eira to Kangaroo Flat earlier this year. What a sea change! The creek a couple of minutes' walk, the parks and reservoir within twenty minutes on foot. Lansell Square has everything we need for day to day shopping. With Bendigo a 10 minute drive in one direction and Melbourne only about 90 minutes in the other direction, we feel well situated. Not to mention that we've seen the valuation on our little house go up by 20% in only a few months. I think the future's very bright for Kangaroo Flat (and Bendigo & Regional VIC as a whole). The only downside I would hasten to point out is that if bird song doesn't appeal to you, early mornings might be a bit of a nuisance. Thankfully, we love it!
