"No new mine"
The comment from MeinDayboro about a new mine starting up is not accurate. There are no Mining Leases, Mineral Development Licences or Exploration Permits within 10 km of Dayboro. There are two quarries, one 6 km east at Neilsen Road Narangbah, which has been there for yonks, and one 10 km to the south east at Whiteside, also been there for a long time. Neither quarry runs trucks through Dayboro - the gazetted haulage route is away from Dayboro, east along either Dayboro Road to Petrie or Raynbird Road east to the Bruce Highway.
Daybor is a quiet, non-dusty town with a resident dentist, medical centre, chiropodist, physiotherapist, pharmacy, bus links to Petrie railway station and a large primary school, two child-care centres and a range of specialty shops and restaurants plus the IGA supermarket. It has super-fast internet because of a small number of users. It's a 55 minute run at 7am from Dayboro to Central Station by car (max 1 hour 15 mins in absolute peak hour). Petrol is not any more expensive than elsewhere, provided you know that petrol prices vary each day Brisbane-wide - buy on Tuesdays or Wed morning - never on Friday or Sat morning! Lived here since 2006 - love it! What's not to like??
Great for
- Dual demographics - historical population of cattle and dairy farming familes, now mixed with tree-change wealthy owners of 1 to 2 acre blocks on 6-digit incomes.
- Plenty of room, great bakery, good medical centre, healthy area to live in, friendly locals.
