Moving back after 10 years

I have been living in Sydney for the last ten years and now moving back with my husband, toddler and newborn. We are sad to leave but unfortunately are priced out of the market here so heading home! We are way out of the loop with family friendly suburbs. Would love people to share what they love about their suburb and why it's great for families. We will rent for a while before deciding to buy but sort of wouldn't mind a nice quiet area with trees etc (sounds silly but we've been inner city for a while now and wanting a change).

Thanks!
