So much character, history and unique architecture. Family friendly, beautiful beach, great fishing and surprisingly lots to do for a small town. The tourist season gets pretty hectic but that's the price you pay to live in paradise, everyone want's to experience it.

If you are thinking of moving here then consider your family first and move to Broome instead. The fishing's fantastic if you don't mind taking a garbage bag to clean up first before you throw a line. The nights are noisy but admittedly we lived on street that happens to be a shortcut home from the pub.

Only 3.2km North of the city with walking tracks that link up to Epsom, Kangaroo Flat, Spring Gully and the beautiful Lake Weeroona. It's also close to the hospital with shopping centres in all directions and very quiet if you live away from the main road. It's an excellent place for families being close to all the essential services, schools, shops, restaurants, cafes, parks, sporting facilities and only 90 minutes to Melbourne down the freeway. Due to work commitments we only spent 18 months here but would certainly love to live here again!
