Where in the World is Epping?
Epping isn't exactly the heart of Melbourne, but it's no dusty outback town either. Think of it as the Goldilocks zone of suburbs: not too close to the city's constant buzz, but not so far out that you need a kangaroo for a taxi. It's a comfy 18km north of Melbourne's CBD, nestled in the City of Whittlesea.
Bonus points for geography buffs: Epping has Mill Park and Lalor to the south, Somerton chilling to the west, South Morang as its eastern neighbour, and Wollert just up north.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
