Fantastic, positive article in The Age on our little town - March 2026.

In the Age online section a great article on the positive things about our town with some great quotes-:

"It’s a quiet town.... But the way we see it, the Mornington Peninsula is the playground, and Somerville is at the heart of it."
"Head 10 minutes one way, and you are at calm beaches like Seaford or Mornington. Drive a little further, and you reach the beautiful stretch of coastline from Mount Eliza to Dromana."
"I believe the best measure of a town is how it feels on foot, and Somerville passed the test easily. You can stroll to the train station, the shops, the bakery, grab a coffee or wander down to the pub, the Somerville Hotel."
"Visitors to our village won’t be able to miss the diabolical Somerville double roundabout, arguably one the five worst intersections in Melbourne, with its five entries all at different angles. Traffic is bad on weekday afternoons, but the consolation is that when you live in Somerville you never have too far to travel."
"There is a remarkable mix of different businesses in Somerville, from trades and industrial businesses, gyms and fitness centres, some interesting little cafes, a good selection of restaurants, a distillery".
"A place where the countryside rolls into the coastline. We thought we left our ideal lifestyle behind in NSW. Turns out it was waiting for us."
