Neighbourhood
We are in a highly sought-after quiet leafy pocket of Coburg (north of Melbourne).
Coburg is a charming yet contemporary family-friendly neighbourhood 8km (5mi) from Melbourne’s city centre (around 25 mins drive or a bit more via public transport).
The main route from our home to the city is the bustling Sydney Road. We are on the doorstep of the incredible hustle and bustle of Brunswick -- an eclectic and artsy neighbourhood famous for amazing thrift stores, bars, cafes, restaurants, and shops.
Here’s a quote from Raph Rashid, the founder of Brunswick’s famous BeatBox Kitchen food truck:
“For me, Brunswick has always been about the diversity more than anything. It’s a soulful place where you can get lots of different versions of whatever you want in the same suburb. From 2011 to now, the suburb has boomed... those extra people have fed life on Sydney Road, made all the new bars and restaurants boom and generated a creative buzz unmatched in any other Melbourne suburb. There are pockets all along Sydney Road now and the whole area has so much to offer.”

Around Coburg is the Merri Creek Trail (perfect for tranquil nature walks), Coburg Lake (great for family picnics), and the historic Pentridge Prison (where the notorious Australian Ned Kelly was once kept) — this has been converted into a vibrant entertainment hub with restaurants, shops and a cinema.

Other renowned inner north areas nearby include Fitzroy and Northcote.

Once you have arrived, you have a many options. There are 2 trams you can take into the city (the stops are around 10 mins walk away). There's also a train that is quicker, but a 20 min walk away.
Alternatively, we can possibly arrange for you to use our family car fitted with two baby seats in the back. It's a 2016 auto Subaru Outback.
There are tons of dining options and supermarkets available to you within 10-30 walking distance.

Dates flexible
"We have family in Adelaide, so we try to travel often. Would be great to build some connections there to see if exchanging could work."
