"Interesting reading..."
Interesting reading here. Are there any less subjective views about Mudgee? I have only driven through the town, worked there twice, and stopped off with the family twice, so I couldn't really form an opinion. On the surface, I did find it charming and fairly well healed as far as services and shopping were concerned. Having done school and national service in regional towns and centres at various stages of my life, I can understand some of the comments about clique - y locals and rudeness, which would spoil anyone's - especially newbies - first and ongoing impressions. No excuse for it! But I'm sure there must be more to the place. If one is young, I can also understand the boredom aspect, but this is not Sydney. Also, I'm looking at Mudgee as a retirement option. Let us know thoughts. (Doctor appointments comment raised my eyebrows).
Thanks Maddys4. Mudgee is just one of so many regional options, but good to get your feedback - specially re the heat.
Not a problem, we rented our house out and rented when in Mudgee, good idea if you can so you know if it is for you or not, we did move there for work reasons though and the kids were in primary school, never thought about staying or leaving just so happened the work didn't work out and their were more options back home.
Thanks Maddys. Renting first sounds sensible. Very interesting looking at what newbies and outsiders say about these regional areas. We've also been looking at Forster/Tuncurry area, and some very balanced reviews often get met with vitriol and ridicule from the locals.
I lived in Mudgee for a few years. I loved the space and made great friends. The town is small but has everything you need. I would like to mention it is very hot and dry in summer, there is no relief from the heat and no water around. One of our reasons for leaving and being on the coast. It is for some but if you like water and all things that are enjoyed near the coast I would think twice.
