any of the suburbs in the north west are alright, although like any suburb you can get the problems with people. most of the western suburbs are ok, tullamarine is one, its close to melbourne airpot. moonee ponds, ascot vale, pasoe vale, essendon, avondale heights, keilor are also good

i live in Victoria, I've only seen one snake in the in the wild, which was near a bushy river.i live in a neighbor hood away from the bush and i've never seen a snake or heard of a snake close to my home. as for spiders, they could be anywhere,if your frightened of funnel webs don't move to Sydney although it is a very beautiful city. Melbourne is also a beautiful city (maybe not as beautiful as Sydney) and it is also the shopping capital of Australia. the crime rate in Melbourne is also lower than Sydney.an apartment would be a good place for you to live for a few years until your used to Australia, once you've settled in and you kids are a bit older you can move into a house away from the bush where spiders and snakes are far less likely to harm, you

I have friends in Northcote and have stayed there many times. It is fine but it can be quite a walk to the nearest pub.
