“Our café in Seymour is thriving. We didn’t expect so many customers. We’ve had businesses before and know how stressful it can be. Every day you could feel the stresses and pressures of being a business owner with very little time to check in on how our customers were doing. Now, we couldn’t be happier.”

“I am a radiation therapist living in Seymour and working for an Australian owned global healthcare company. I predominately work in Seymour, but my role requires me to regularly commute to Melbourne’s northern suburbs and interstate. Living in Seymour means I can get to work and the airport in as little as 50 minutes.”

“My husband and I spent most of our adult life living and working in Melbourne. But in 1998, and with no children left at home, we decided to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind in pursuit of a more relaxing lifestyle. And we had a list of needs for a town to settle in.”

“City-folk would be a pretty accurate description of us as a couple. My husband and I moved to Seymour a few years ago from Melbourne. Originally from Adelaide, we went overseas only to return to Adelaide before settling in Victoria. We had our hearts set on a rural lifestyle, you know a farm, horses – the kids liked the idea.”
