Thankfully there are always Tim Tams Re: Living in Doreen/ Mernda 15Jan 07, 2010 8:11 pm Hey Nott, We are also building in Doreen and we have gotten the comments of "Why would you want to live out there thats the bush!!"........ The funny thing about that is that those comments were made by friends that live in Pakenham and Toora (Sth Gippsland!!!!) so who are they to comment????? The drive down Yan Yean Rd through Yarrambat is the best way to wind down after a stressfull day at work you just feel the stress melt away as you drive! That you love it that is all that matters, About the family Hey if they dont like the drive just dont come over!!!!! that is a blissful solution in my opinion I believe that friends are family but better ......... because they are family you actually WANT to see so dont let your SiLs comments worry you, Doreen ROCKS!!!! __________________________ M3tr1con Denver 32...Now 43!!!

For the Mernda train station, I guess it probably won't happen till 2027. However, just hope the South Morang station could complete earlier. Not too bad thing is the Plenty valley westfield was updated and expanded, hope the greensborough one can start v soon. It has been postponed for nearly 1 yr ? Anyway knows where is the nearest indoor swimming pool to us? Thanks v much.

It'll be even better when they get the cinemas in there And a few more shops like Myer.... Then there'll be no reason to leave town- ever. There's an indoor pool at the Mill Park YMCA... Morang Drive, not far. Re: Living in Doreen/ Mernda 19Jan 08, 2010 1:33 pm I'm wrestling with these thoughts myself... While I grew up in Eltham I've lived in the inner city since I was 18. I've spent the last 6 year in the Docklands which I loved. I had a fantastic social network within the complex and miss it terribly. The conclusion I've come to is that while Mernda might be so much further from the city than I was used to - it doesn't have to dictate the social life you have. You can form another social circle (in an area like Mernda/Doreen this should be so much more simple as nearly everyone is in the same boat). The commute to work might be painful - but there are advantages that you're able to have a house you love and can afford. Re: Living in Doreen/ Mernda 20Jan 08, 2010 5:04 pm Nott Hey Fitzy, Just saw u're building in the Maples. It is really a good spot. Do u know a member here is owner building his house there??
