Family Suburbs on the Central Coast: What You Need to Know!
Let me show you some of the best family suburbs on the Central Coast of New South Wales... and some suburbs to avoid. If you are looking for affluent suburbs, budget friendly suburbs, quiet suburbs or of course beach front suburbs then this video is for you!
Please note there are many suburbs I haven't mentioned in this video, that doesn't mean I don't rate them - I just haven't had a lot of experience in them to be able to give you a detailed opinion. Let me know if you would like a part 2 and i'll be sure to visit!
If you enjoy my videos why not show your appreciation and buy me a coffee to help get me through the long editing stages - a cup of coffee can definitely be the key to improving my day, and a great way to show your appreciation for the work that goes into these videos! I will also be sure to give you a shout out! :)

You have hardly stopped bleatin and fartin since you arrived in Australia Kimberley.
Go home to Scotland Kimberley. I think you can go back to Scotland and be just as miserable. 😢😢😢😢. Do you think your children will be happy in 20 or so years in the future?.
Kimberley you were asking the question how can we ever afford our own home. We got a long term loan 25 or 35 years. You can work from home and your husband work overtime. Eventually wages go up and mortgage is more affordable. It’s a struggle but it’s worth it in the long run ❤
Sending huge love ❤️
❤❤❤
Yeap, I know the feels. X
❤
❤❤❤🤗
I feel the same way about the friends part. 1 year here and struggling. I've got friends but not the same as home. People for concerts and coffee dates
Are you at NSW Wollongong?
NSW yes, but not Wollongong
You will make friends soon. I think it's cos you have moved a few times! Bunnings is great, I love it too.
Breaks my heart when you mention making friends. I know ,y brother went through the same thing. I hope it's getting better for you now. X
You don’t need a gym ❤
20:03 the words anybody who has ever had to work would die to hear. Thats amazing
Love the channel Kim and so nice to have met you in person too. ❤️
Thank you! So lovely to meet you too, excited for some girl time! haha x
Yes please Kimberley to a second vlog on moving to the Central Coast,really love your channel! Im moving back to Australia as soon as possible from the UK,born in Sydney and lived most of my life in the UK,the Central Coast is where Im heading so this is exactly what I need ,so thank you 😊X
Hello, thank you for your kind comments! How exciting for you - the Central Coast is beautiful and FULL off hidden gems! I'll do my best to get more informative videos up for you soon :) best of luck with your return! xx
Wow Kim that was so informative! You should set up your own real estate business. What are your thoughts on buying to let around some of the more affordable suburbs? Are properties gaining much value currently
Really great vid showing the Central Coast and it's areas! Curious how people afford properties over $1mil (over 500GBP) - is that doable on a salaried job or recon they more business owners?
Hello, you tend to find salaries are higher in Australia which makes things more relative. Renting is A LOT hence why we are keen to buy. Each state is different and I do believe NSW is the most expensive to buy in but there are also ways in which people make it work here too... for example paying 'interest only' mortgages (which i don't advise obviously, but can also understand why people can only do this option)
You have done a very good job promoting best suburbs to live in the Central Coast . God bless you and your family .
Thank you so much for your kind comment 😊
People are miserable angry and political in the UK hence why so many british are running away from the UK to Australia 🦘 for the longest ti get away from the mess in the UK remember, Australia belongs to the Aborigines the idignoeus people.
This is really good with film and pictures of area, well done , anyone looking at these areas should watch this
Thank you, it took me a while but I think it will be helpful for others to see 😊
BISTO? YA GOTTA BE AVIN ME ON, NO, GRAVOX?
Your talents are amazing...great advice better than a Real Estate agent
That's really kind. Thank you. I really appreciate this 😊
A good informative vid mate.
Thank you 😊
G'day Kimbo, You And and the kids. Where huv ya been?. Iv'e missed you all. ❤❤❤❤. I hope the four of you are having a wonderful life in Turrigul.
Haha I know, had to take a break and catch a breath to be honest 😅 but I'm back now! 😊
Hi Kimberly, love from the United Kingdom x
Hello! Hope you have a lovely day ❤ x
Blame the Queenslanders for the surcharges, I had never heard of it until a few years ago on a trip to Brisbane. As far as I know those penalty rates have been in force for many years now so l don’t understand why they suddenly started to charge surcharges. The number of covers they would get on public holidays should be enough to pay wages.
Kim, Mr Dale Phillip is an Scottish Vlogger presently in the Philippines and has 3+M Subscribers, you can coordinate with him here in CZcams to get an insight about the Philippines.
Kim, I assure you that you'll double your subscribers and your views will rise exponentially for just 10 to 15 days vlogging about all the places you'll cover if you take your family for a vacation in the Philippines. Your whole family will enjoy there as you go places and feeling at home wherever you go and won't be feeling like you're a stranger.
I recently came across your testimony in Yahoo Finance about living in Australia. I'm sure by your vlogging will somehow ease your family difficulties there. If somehow you think of easing more by having a free time for a vacation, try visiting the Philippines, I'm sure your family will feel a lot more relaxed as you travel the beautiful places there with a welcoming people with their tireless smiles greeting you everywhere you go. I'm sure you'll have a notion of moving there once you felt the environment and the rich nature. I'm subscribed and following you from Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia.
I saw the prawn snacks and the bacon flavoured snacks in my local Aldi in Perth. If I knew, I would've picked some up and posted them to you! Ask your family to send you a care package immediately!
once you go they settle quickly and love there day with his peers
Those chocolate digestives are FIRE. I love the pure chocolate ones. 😊
Where are the subs when you need them ? God only knows wtf she is saying
Unnecessarily rude. The whole vid LITERALLY has subtitles. Gentle reminder; It costs nothing to be kind. She’s making free content and shouldn’t be bashed for -no reason-. I’m non native English and I can understand her fine. Also, the vid LITERALLY has subs(!)
Hang in there Kim! You're doing an amazing job!
If postage wasn't so expensive Kimberly I would send you a box of your favourite crisps! ❤
Oh I know! It's crazy expensive 😢 thank you for thinking of me!!
The best part of Australia is the weather and the Aussies are good too. The money is good, but everything is expensive. Overall it's a good move.
Aw Kim. You are doing your absolute best. ❤️ I know it's hard, but give it a few days and he'll be having a lovely time playing all day. Keep thinking of the bigger picture, they have a lovely life that you and Ewan are providing for them. Your future and their future is bright, hold onto that Kim ❤️
Been back to Scotland many times but now look forward to coming back to Australia. Know a few people who have gone back to Scotland / England and regretted it. Australia not perfect but worth the effort.
It's an unfortunate reality that children need to learn and grow outside the family and even if you weren't working he would need to leave his mum behind! Even here parents may live interstate! He will always be your baby and your relationship will not change, you will also be meeting new people! Take care! 🙋💕
I really struggled too, it took a good six to eight weeks but my little boy absolutely loves nursery now. You’ll get there too I’m sure of it x
I told you before mate. I don't think you will ever be happy in Aust without your family. Go Home. My great great great G'mother was shipped to Aust for LIFE. She had NO option but, to leave her three little daughters in the slums of the UK. GO HOME to Scotland and have shoulders to LEAN on.
So pleased you seem to be settling in, once your children start school and play sports you will make wonderful friends I’m sure x
Here's hoping 😅😅😅
Yes Fk off, we are full!
Make it slower i cant read that fast😢
Oh no! I'm sorry, I'll do better next time 😅
just press pause to read the caption
Sad yall didn't know this I live in Australia btw
We moved here from the UK so hopefully this helps other expats 😊
I wonder if you had considered sunglasses for the kiddies to protect their eyes from the sun?
jump over to WA or QLD. most of my friends that have moved to WA has not looked back. Especially when you work in the FIFO industry.
I'm the same
Have you taken a trip to Newcastle, near to you. We moved here from AFRICA AND LOVE it. If you do come here you will be welcome to pop in for a cuppa anytime. . We have been here 30 odd years.
❤❤❤❤❤
