Meredith is a small country town located approximately half way in between Geelong and Ballarat. The town consists of 2 classless pubs, one fuel station (which is gradually falling apart) and a single tragic milk bar with visible rat poison underneath the cooking appliances. This same place gave me food poisoning after consuming a "fresh cooked" bacon and egg roll, complete with mouldy bread.
The town no longer has a police man, after some conveniently unknown corrupt activity at the local Music Festival, which is like a drug and alcohol farm during the two times a year it's on.
There are zilch walking tracks or gyms, and one tiny Primary School. The in-town neighbourhood are quite unfriendly, and the farming people are just ignorant. Because of the lack of police and control on this town, my friends who currently live there are concerned about their safety.
There are tennis courts in the town, however the ash-felt is lifting and they're uneven. The small park next to these courts is a gathering of trees, therefore not substantial. There are no medical facilities, the closest hospital being 45 minutes away, and the closest doctor surgery being 25 minutes away, at Bannockburn. Moral of the story is - Don't get sick.
My friend's house, last winter, was absolutely infested with spiders and mice. She is a very clean person and has frequent cleaners. You'd be sitting on the couch and a mouse would come and sit behind you. No joke. Not to mention the huntsmen, they'd love watching TV with you too - however the feeling was not mutual.
Public Transport - nada, apart from the occasional bus from Geelong to Meredith, which runs once or twice a day.
The food at all places is absolutely terrible, almost on the verge of inedible. I wouldn't recommend any places there, at all. My suggestion is go into Geelong, as Bannockburn is quite limited in the amount of quality food options too.
I wouldn't visit there, let alone live there.
