Where do I start?Hmm what to do?What to do on a sat morning?Do I duck down to Yarraville for a cheeky latte or Williamtown or maybe southbank or CBD or Port Melbourne. All within a max of 10min.
Do I go over the bridge or do I go along Douglas pde and under the west gate?Life is tough when you live in Newport,absolutely spoilt for choice.Whether its the Gym with an amazing location with its city views or one of the best fishing spots in Victoria,the "Warmies"also mentioned on Coxys Postcards show.Perhaps I may even take my boat out today and launch it from the boat ramp within a few hundred meters from my place and have lunch at the Docklands.
"The Strand' also boasts probably the best view of Melbourne,you could just about reach out and touch it.The students at the Grammar school located on the strand also enjoys that bonus.
Transport is a plenty,the beach is a five min train ride to Williamstown.It gets really annoying when the suburbs only traffic light decides to go red once a year,don't you hate that?I dont know too many suburbs in Melbourne that has no passing traffic.Plenty of good well established schools.
Newport does not have the Toff factor that Williamstown oozes,But I have to admit I can handle that when Im playing tennis down at Liston tennis club on a hot summers night,Location Location.The Hall st Shops will improve in time and the new Safeway and Aldi as well as a new shopping centre in Spotswood can only be cream on the cake.On a serious note a word of advice if you are thinking about moving to this hidden gem invest a little more and target the best pocket of Newport along Douglas pde between Hobson st and through to Yarra st,as much as I hate to admit it the Williamstown end of Newport......
