That has created an upsurge in prices that places them in the city price range. The Sothern Highlands, where I'm from, saw this start years ago and it has now basically turned into an over-priced "sleeper" suburb of Sydney. Family homes like you seek are now in the $1M+ price bracket. All of the productive farmland that the area was comprised of not that long ago, is now under housing.
Orange, Mudgee, Goulburn, etc.,( basically all of the towns you mention ), are now in the same situation. It starts with hobby farms and descends into suburbia.

3~4br house for under 250k. Hell, some under 150. Not much around the town but has an airport, Kmart/Coles/Woolies takeaway chains, etc etc.
Mildura (Vic) 3 hours South, Adelaide 5 hours West and plenty of opportunities to own/access land if you want it.
If you're after bang-for-your-buck in a town with more than 15k people thats about the best in the state.

I have always thought that is a strange saying, what's the point of having cake if you can't eat it.

I wouldn't mind it, but the Mrs wants to be in relatively near driving distance to her family in Sydney (4 - 5 hrs). and both our jobs will need us to drop in from time to time in the city.
