G'day south aussie kiters.

I have a potential job opportunity in Mt Gambier, but know nothing about the place. I am wondering if it is a good place to live, bring up a family, and also what the kiting is like around there. Are there many good locations, flat water and waves?, and what is the wind like?
I gather there must be a fair bit of wind given there is a wind farm there. But what are the seasons. Is it like nsw with the main kiting season in summer with regular seabreezes, with a bit of kiting(battling) in winter when storms come through? and what strength wind should I expect?

I'm guessing the water gets pretty cold down there, are we talking steamer in summer/dry suit winter?

I know I've asked alot of questions but I don't know where else to get this info. Thanks in advance
