We're heading to Mornington initially, but until we arrive and have a nosy round, we don't yet know which part we will settle.

We've booked into temp accom for 4 weeks, and I'm hoping this should give us enough time to find a rental in a nice area near a decent primary school!

We arrive on 18th August, can't wait but starting to cack it now!

Not long now, there are loads of good schools around Mornington you will have no problems finding one you like, we also had no problems finding a rental nor has anyone we met who arrived after us and one friend has 2 dogs and that didn't seem to be an issue either.

Good Luck with everthing and if you have any Q's just ask.

I haven't lived any where else in Oz so couldn't comment as I couldn't compare, but we are very happy where we are if that helps.
