"True Review from a long time local"
if you want fresh air, Dayboro isn't the place for you. It is full of dust, smoke and Diesel fumes. My father was diagnoised with a lung problems, non smoker but was caused from environmental problems. Lived only in Dayboro.
The people if you are part of the "clan" are friendly but if your not part of the "clan" they are rude and nasty.
The school is the only thing that saves the area, really nice teachers and a good place for your kids to learn.
There is no public transport but a non exsisting bus service that comes in twice a day. From a bus stop you can't find.
Eating out at night, unless you like the fish and chip shop or the rude customer service from the local cafe is non existing.
Pub is over priced, Shopping option is only IGA and the food is always outdated. Internet access has problems on windy days.
It is not at all clean and green. The locals seem to cut down all the trees in replace of sparse lawns, and cattle.
I have lived in country areas before and Dayboro certainly does not have that "country" spirit.
I would not suggest anyone to live there even my worst enemy.
There are much nicer areas in Brisbane outer suburbs, don't waste your time on this little town of yesteryear.
High rentals also on poor quality houses.
Crime has gotten quite bad in some parts of the area. And drug use with "bored" teenagers is becoming a problem also.
There is no jobs for teenagers who have left school, and if you don't have use of a car, you are basically stranded in this town.
There is nothing for teenagers to do.
Town is more suited for retired people. Those who love the sitting around and being bored.
Medical center has improved somewhat over the years.
If you live an alternative lifestyle you are not welcomed at all.
Redneck, Rude and Racist is how i sum up this town
Not great for
- Petrol expensive. groceries expensive.
- Dusty and noisy
Oh my, this is an impressive stance. I feel there are pockets of what you describe in all communities and feel you have been sitting in the wrong pocket, unfortunately. I have only lived here for 13 years but have had a weather station with pollution readings and if it was as bad as you have indicated would have moved on by now. yes, there are a lot of aspects in Dayboro to be worked on but no more than anywhere else. Thanks for the list of issues as it will be helpful with the new Dayboro movement happening around town. Its all about gathering thinkers and shaping ideas for the future, involving the kids, teens and everyone else to building stronger connections within the community to counteract all your aforementioned issues.
I couldn't disagree more. We are newcomers having been here for 3 years and couldnt feel more welcomed. Community spirit is alive and well. The smell of the pine trees especially in winter is amazing. NBN and never had an issue. IGA is great. And Woolworths will deliver to your door. On days off from my full time job as a 24/7 sift worker i have no reason to leave town.
In saying that, i dont have children. I'm also obviously not retired.
Love dayboro!
I have lived here since I was born. I can't stand 'newcomers' like you because it's destroying the country atmosphere. Trees being cut down left right and centre, constant crowding in the main street, crammed houses being squashed into old farmland. Kiss your country lifestyle goodbye, because as long as there's space, there's room for money to be made. So sad that my childhood home is slowly getting swallowed by 'progress'. It's just Samford 2.0 now.
Thank you for your genuine opinion. that was helpful. Would you please advise us regarding nicer areas in Brisbane outer suburbs that you mentioned in your commend please.
Just wondering if this is the town I live in? I hope not!
