Not a terrible town, it has far more options when it comes to shopping, and employment, than its neighbouring town, Forbes. The sights are far better, there's just more to do.
It has similar issues that most country towns have, that being there's not as much of anything that one might find in a more suburban area, but it's still not terrible. All in all, I'd say this would be a good place to live, not the best, just good.

I have been living in Forbes for 11 years, and I can say one thing, there's no work. I wouldn't recommend this town to anyone for multiple reasons. The first, being that the town has little to no recreational amenities for adults or teenagers, it has a few pubs at best, and an RSL. The second being the town is filled with drug trafficking and drug abusers, the drug of choice being ice, crystal meth. These people will steal from you, as they have done me. Thirdly, the shopping here is exceptionally limited, mostly small businesses with big prices, no real options or variation. The good points this town has, is that it's quiet, a decent place to retire, but not a good investment for one's future. Parkes, the neighbouring town, is a far better option all round, if you're into the country lifestyle but you don't want to sacrifice shopping leisures.
