Woodend is a picture perfect little place,an easy commute from Melbourne.The locals are friendly, both old timers and new arrivals. There is occasional hoon activity in the wee small hours, but nothing serious and life here is relatively peaceful.One negative is the preponderance of wood-burning fires around town during the long cold winters .This can make for a very smoky and polluted atmosphere instead of the clean country air one expects.Particularly bad for asthmatics ,this detracts from the otherwise attractive lifestyle on offer in Woodend .
