Hmm...Saturday morning paper browsing

Age article spruiking Castlemaine as "New Northcote North"

Actually, that sounds like a place both mc_shamo and I could get jobs one we're finished our Masters (Especially if the shift of Melbourne people is displacing locals- they'll need social workers! Who've moved from Melbourne! Wait a minute...) And those housing prices look more affordable than anywhere livable in the inner city. The houses look alright too!

Now, to convince everyone else they either want to live there or buy a weekend retreat there... (or come and crash on our couch for the weekend, then we can come crash on yours when we come back to Melbourne!)

Dreams, plots, plans, fun. :-)

Nice town, not too far away from Melbourne...on the way to Eva's dad's place in Baringhup.

Yeah, it could be nice!

You do realise, though, that it will turn into Daylesford soon.

If we buy before the prices rise, and any tourists or weekenders bring in jobs in galleries and theatres and bring expectations of good coffee I'm okay with that. I can go around moaning about how the place has gone all yuppie and it wasn't like that when we moved here, oh no...

Hm. Actually, that's one reason to not go there until the yuppie invasion, or time it just before the yuppie invasion: The coffee's fucking terrible. Seriously, I've never had a decent coffee there.

Oh well, I suppose you can still buy decent ground stuff from the supermarket.
