- the woman/wives are worse then any men here
- when it comes to shops you have coles, 2 pharmacies, 2 doctors surgeries that don’t bulk bill, a target country that is closing down, a dress shop in town square that doesn’t exactly have the best fashion, a hospital that will always ask why you didn’t go to your gp prior to presenting unless you have a severed limb, a couple of places to eat and quiet a few parks that you can use half of the year as it’s way to hot during the summer time.
- unless you are in mining it’s not worth it as living expenses are ridiculous
- if you suffer with any sort of mental health issues this town has no psychologist or councillors so expect a 2.5 hour drive to Mackay or talk to someone over Telehealth and still be out of pocket.
- very clicky town that talks about everyone regardless if they know you or not.
- A lot of older ladies who this they are the Oprah’s of Moranbah and talk to everyone like they are meaningless.
- to get a decent job you need to know someone to get in, unless you are over qualified for the position.
- raising a family with nothing to do does take its toll, the town is a bit of a ghost during school holidays as everyone wants to get away.
- personally have felt more depressed and feel like I can not trust most people as you tend to let someone in and then everyone knows your business.
- Most locals are quiet judgemental and seeking any help from the community centre in town is like pulling teeth. They are a Centrelink agent however like to direct you to mackay is they either don’t like you or heard things about you (experience from quiet a few people I have meet). There’s nothing worse then having individuals unqualified for their jobs working in a position that needs qualifications however they are unable to gain qualified staff that are willing to live here with the wages that are offered, so tend to settle with what they can get.
