I moved to Helensburgh 5 years ago and will never move out. Its extremely peaceful and surrounded by bushland and is only 10 minutes to the beach yet it is close to Sydney and also wollongong. It has been described as a country town in the city. Everyone is friendly and there is a real sense of community. It is a great place to raise your children. There are plenty of activites to keep you and your children busy, with everything from gyms to a skateboard park. Yes the train station is located 3 minutes drive from the town CBD but there is a bus that runs from the staion to the town CBD whenever a train arrives. Also I think this deters 'out of town' vandals getting off the train and causing trouble in the town CBD. All we need is more places to eat at night (especially at the begining of the week).
