What benefits are there to living in Kingaroy in comparison to Brisbane?

That hasn't been my experience jaycee777.. I found the people of Kingaroy quite friendly.
Lived here for over 20years, what used to be a great community minded town has turned into the dumping ground for decimals and some cheats coming out from Brisbane so they don't have to work. Instead they bring their drugs, alcohol, and primal activity with them, turning this once quiet and peaceful down into a slum. Businesses have trouble staying open, more and more locals are moving away to get away from what the town has become. Healthcare and education are almost nonexistatnt. It now become a place you live in fear of being attacked. Not a great place for raising a family, or for the elderly.
If you like a big back yard, you'll love Kingaroy. The block sizes are much bigger than Brisbane. There are a lot of new houses available at very cheap prices and the rent is very affordable. The hospital has been upgraded and the schools are great. Very good value for $
Kingaroy isnt the greatest. Swickers stinks up the place some nights, its vile. The town water tastes like arse, you cant really drink it. You need a rainwater tank or to buy bottled water to drink. The water is hard, and sometimes you come out of the shower feeling dirtier than when you went in. Rates are extremely expensive. No recycling bins. Neighbours dont seem thrilled with new people coming in and making changes to their property. Cats are a big problem, people just let them roam at large. The roads are in poor condition, always lots of potholes, the guttering is old and poorly maintained.
I doubt you'll have any shortage of clients as a GP. My mother lives there in a unit complex and her neighbor for a couple of years was a GP who lived in Brisbane and maintained a unit in Kingaroy and lived there during the week. There's two nursing homes. It's no different to any regional rural town, trying to keep doctors.
Does anyone know any important issues that happened in there??? please help me because I'm doing my assessment on Kingaroy :)
Thank you Damian, thats great to hear, sorry if I keep asking questions, have to be sure :D ... How are the facilities up there, I know that there is no Kmart or Hungry Jacks, (that doesn't bother me ) but what about doctors, someone told me that its hard to see a doctor up there?
