When I moved to Port Melbourne 14 yeas ago I moved into a share house in Raglan Street. Port was attractive as it was close to everything I could possibly need or want. My first impression of Port was there were two types of resident, the 'old timers' and the ‘newbies'. The newbies appeared to be a little more transient and would move on to other places as their jobs or personal circumstances demanded. There seems, however, to have been a proliferation of prams and parents. Nowadays, there are myriad meeting places. My gorgeous little daughter has opened up conversations with old timers, newbies and everyone in between. I meet people in the streets and almost anywhere there is a swing or a slide. I meet people at playgroups, for which the Trugo clubs are often used. It’s been a fabulous and welcome change and I think a large part of the reason for the change is that Port is a fabulous place to live and offers lots of opportunities for families to live a balanced life and many of the newbies who I assumed might move on have put down roots and are staying put.
