I's suggest Katoomba, but heh, I'm biased cos I live there. Admittedly it is a bit suburban but there's also a good rail service and lots of services in town within walkable distance.
Katoomba is also officially a transition town (the 2nd in Australia) with the BIGGEST FOOD COOP IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. Again, I'm biased, cos I work there.
I could probably write all day cos of the benefits but I've got to finish my lunch break.
BTW have also considered Hobart.
Anyway, stay in touch, have you considered a house swap?? |
