    All our kababayans in Victoria - where do you guys live?


    Stand up and share to the forum a thing or two about your suburb... :)
    Sa may Gowrie...Upfield line.The place is nice, nothing much to see though, there's this shopping area with 15 shops or so..IGA, pizza, fish and chips...predominantly Greek and middle Easterners ang residents.
    Cheers!

    Hi, I'm a newbie here but boyfriend and I aremoving to Victoria Melbourne by February 2016 as international students. I will be studying in Victoria University and my boyfriend will go to Australian Catholic University (both campuses are located in CBD).

    We are looking for a home to stay in Melbourne preferably near our universities - not necessarily in CBD though, a house walking distance to the train station would be great. Saan po ang marerecommend niyong area?
