When I was growing up, kyneton was very bogan and in terms of the Calder towns the real beginning of country Victoria and genuine farming. Due to the fruit blocks requiring less land, it was Bacchus on the Western Highway.

You wouldn't recognise any of those towns these days. Even places like Woodend and Mt. Macedon are trendy suburbs these days. Daylesford is super trendy and very expensive for a town stuck in the middle of nowhere

Yes, same experience, i think we are of similar age (young and vibrant).

Kyneton was super rough and stained by a similar curse to ballarat (church stuff). Its now close enough to melbourne to have the castlemaine change of the late 1990s... it has good cool bones for the melbourne alternative migration.

Bacchus, market garden core and surrounding broadhectare farming is close enough to melbourne to have the commuter suburban housing demand

So when do people get priced out of Gisborne, Woodend, Kyneton and move back in - to Sunbury or more bizarrely when does Melton's affordability make it the place to be?

I will challenge you on that manic, with respect. The towns you mentioned were always leaning or were on the tosser side of things, they just got more tosser. The towns you mentioned were always weekend destinations for the melbourne wealthy from early 1900s

Yeah I know. Macedon belongs in that list, but Mt Macedon was a millionaire's retreat back when I was little and millionaire was extraordinary and Daylesford was built as the London to Bath style healthy waters getaway for the elite.

Woodend literally can not grow anymore, its full of white want to be rich retirees. Gisborne, mmmmm, not what you would remember. Kyneton, i have high hopes, there is still genuine diversity. Sunbury has now more land supply identified for development than the hume growth corridor. The country leaning people will keep moving out, want to stay in the broad housing market of nw melbourne, movement to sunbury......as you stated.

When..... its happening now.

Melton.....it is affordable...

A cultural change will occur over next say 10 plus years, high density back in the inner and middle suburbs.... particularly the east

Gisborne has become one large collection of supermarkets and coffee shops. Just before COVID I was there one Christmas that was so cold that we were considering a fire. I'd come with no warm clothes and drove into Gisborne to buy something warm. Nah. No clothes for sale in Gissy. Go to Melbourne for that - except for socks and jocks at one of the 10 supermarkets.

Well why didnt you get your nails done and get a hair colour, and if you have a designer poodle, get a trim for it as well, plenty of options

I did a meditation course, saw the light and knitted a jumper out of poodle clippings. It was all good.
