We are a retired couple in our 60s keen on travel and hoping to explore as much of the world as we can. Our main priority is to share our time between families ( including 4 grandchildren ) in the UK and in Melbourne,Australia. We're likely to be in Melbourne with our daughter and her family from late January 2011 until April 2011. Ideally, we'd like an independent base within easy reach of East Brighton for at least some of that time. AS we're also keen to explore Australia we'd consider short breaks in other areas.
