Absolutely stunning scenery and all within an easy commute from Melbourne.

Towns like Broadford and Heathcote Junction are quickly growing as commuters to the city and skilled tradies are taking advantage of the available land and lifestyle and moving in.

What’s not to love!

Echuca is great. Everyone loves visiting the place, but after a couple of years of living there we tired of the place. It’s seasonal and the kids are a bit rowdy sometimes.

The river and old town area though are great, as are the dining and shopping facilities.

East Kilmore area is great, but Kilmore itself suffers due to the number of trucks driving directly through the town centre.

I know a bypass has been planned for years, but why hasn’t it been built already?

Wallan is OK. Safe and with a good pub. That’s about it. A bit boring and stale if thought of as a town. OK if viewed as a suburb of Melbourne.

We love Broadford. As others have stated, it’s a pretty country town with superior transport links into Melbourne set in stunning countryside.

The key thing we’ve noticed since moving here is the speed of change. With its one hour commute to the CBD, city professionals, skilled tradies, along with pro renovators and land developers have moved in. Lots of new houses now going up, with even more homes being renovated and flipped, which means better street appeal, more facilities and nicer cafes and shops.

It’s changing SUPER FAST, yet keeping its friendly atmosphere. We love it.
