Lived here for over 25 years. Brought up a family here. People are friendly. A great family place until the kids need work or want to go out partying. No social life for adults or kids. There are a lot of teenagers and they have to drive everywhere. Two of my cars got stolen because there was a party close by and the kids needed to get home. Quite a few robberies often. Not too good for retirees as transport is poor, hospitals, shops or train station are not easily accessible by public transport, actually you can't even get to the train station from here without a car. Roads are for faster driving, not slow driving. Not a safe area to live, due to weirdos in the National Park. Great place if you love barking dogs all day and night. Quite a few incidence of kid grabbing, not by locals, but outsiders. Very hard place to start a business. A lot of shift workers that whinge about day noise. Great if you love sport, especially watersports. People that grew up here are really nice. The more families we get here the better.
Primary and Catholic schools are great.
