"Now I go to Melbourne on occasions to visit relatives and friends, but after a weekend it is just so nice to come home to Greater Shepparton. In the city there is a sense of urgency about everything and it seems like for no reason you have to plan things months or even years ahead."

Living in Provincial Victoria in her youth, Giulia returned to Greater Shepparton after living in Melbourne for seven years. Giulia and her 10 year old son left the city to escape the stress of Melbourne, and to be closer to family.

"Greater Shepparton held the key to everything I wanted for my long term future. A home in a friendly, safe community environment with my family and friends close by." "Now I don't have to travel a zillion miles across the city, fighting the traffic, just to drop my son at a birthday party. I know that in Greater Shepparton when we go somewhere I'm going to be greeted by a warm and welcoming face."

"Being a parent with a young son, I feel more secure than I did in the city. I don't have to worry about catching trains late at night, and I know that we can feel safe taking a walk or riding our bikes along the shared path network."

"I think people need to look beyond the myths that surround Provincial Victoria and take the opportunity to come and explore the endless possibilities. There is everything you need here to live an easy and happy life, and for as far down the track as I can see, this will be my home."
