We have lived here for 9 years and we love it so much that my husband commutes on the train every day to Melbourne. We are 660 metres walking distance from the beach and town and in the morning around 8.30 am I go walking down the hills with the magnificent vista of Port Phillip Bay and the Portarlington Pier in front of me. I walk in the middle of the road forgetting sometimes to stay more to the left as there are no cars or many people about. Everyone is friendly and it dosent take you long to get to know people, just hang out at Mavi Yunis for a coffee or join one of the classes at the Portalington Neighbourhood Centre. There are no traffic lights here!!
In the summer I grab my towel, jump in the car and in 2 minutes I am swimming in the sparkling waters off the Port Pier. We have no queues to worry about when we put our power boat in at Pt Richards and we also sail in the summer at the St Leonards Yacht Club. Our 15 year old daughter catches the bus to school in Geelong and I work in Geelong also. We can see the tall buildings and lights of Melbourne in the distance from our deck and that's just the way we like it!! Cathy
