Afternoon all - and thank you all for your thoughts, suggestions and places to avoid! - and Bojan 'ouch' what an unpleasant experience!
Much of what you have said I had already been thinking on - which is reassuring. And there were also a few suggestions that I hadn't thought of.
I should also have mentioned that I've been looking at places between Yea and Alexandria and Mansfield (V-Line Bus to Melbourne if required) and Mansfield and Benalla, and Benalla and Wangaratta.
The really hard part on settling on a location once the financial side has been dealt with is the logistics associated with getting 'old' - that is once you get to 70+ and whether or not being more than 10-20 minutes outside of a town is a good idea (food, doctors etc). Ideally I wouldn't want to have to move again after retiring. I suppose the main thing is to keep doing the research and planning and discussing it all with the GLW so that when/if we move to the country and dark skies it will be to a place that we are both happy with.
Paul
PS Any other thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated.
