Lifestyle 

Berwick is a very family-friendly area, thanks to its relatively modern homing landscape. Houses and streets are roomy, preserving that rural feel and you’ll find a lot of established families, many of whom moved to the area in its fledgling state, still happily calling Berwick home.

Tree-lined High St is a cute village of shops, cafes, and restaurants where you can relax and brunch in the leafy surrounds, while just behind you’ll find major supermarkets to do your weekly shop. The Wilson Botanic Park is a prime picnicking territory with its gorgeous lake and BBQs, plus the nearby aquatic and recreation center will keep you fighting fit. But if you’re looking for less outdoorsy pleasures, nearby Westfield Fountain Gate shopping center is Australia’s second-largest shopping center and can tick any boxes with its hundreds of stores, restaurants, cinemas, and in-center events.
