Naracoorte, SA 5271

I don't mind the town but beware, some of the residents are very clicky. Gossip and trouble spreads and you can quickly get involved up to your ears. Apart from that it's not a bad place. Can be noisy at times in certain areas. I wouldn't live there again.

We lived here for about a year with our teenage boys, coming back and forth for work in the area. Easy going town, locals are great everyone just fits right in who ever you are. Good amount of shops and pubs for a small town and some very good cafes. Nice big woolies and a Foodworks. Good skatepark, big swimming pool. Been into the medical centre a few times after an accident and only 1 person we delt with was excellent and it was an on call doctor. Everyone else were quite unprofessional.

Kangaroos a plenty can be found just out of Padthaway
