"Convenient & down to earth"
As kids we moved around a lot through Australia, New Zealand & England. When we moved to Caboolture I knew this was where I wanted to stay. We had room for my brother to finally get the dirt bike he always wanted, there were plenty of close basketball courts and parks to satisfy my needs and we were basically under half an hour from the beach on one weekend to bushwalking up mt NgunNgun the next weekend. I got a job in Caboolture when I finished school and unlike many other parts of the country housing affordability has never really been an issue. I have an average paying job and was still able to buy a home in the town I loved, without having to get into massive debt and without living on top of my neighbours. Caboolture has its quirks and is far from perfect, don't get me wrong, the 'bogans' that some people are weary of are certainly around, but for me I'd rather talk Bathurst than bank bonds anyway. Life is what you make of it and Caboolture is no exception.
Who lives here?

lol...roberte5 would love to know what "bubble" you live in because every suburb has good and bad, we left the Sunshine Coast to buy in Caboolture, near the big fish, would never raise my children on the Sunshine Coast if it was for free! You might want to look up the crime map and pop your suburb in, think you will be surprised to say the least. 30 years in, wow would have thought you should have moved by now seen as its such a hole lol. We work in Caboolture and have made some really lovely friends. Not sure what sort of people your mixing with to think its full of degenerates.
I have lived in the Cab West area since 2004 and I work in the city. I would never live anyone else. I have the best neighbours, I know everyone at the shops. Has one of the best butchers in King Street
I think you really have to be that person to know those people. I live in inner Sydney. Its a high crime area, as its the city and apparently drug users everywhere. I don't commit crime or take drugs so I just don't see it. Like most people who live in Sydney, I time comes when you want to buy a home which is just not an option for most people in Sydney. I am currently retraining so I can be employed out of the city. I have been looking at Burpengary. The reviews for that suburb on here are great, but they're aren't many of them, so thought I would look here as well. It seems everyone has something negative to say about a place. Like everywhere there's good and bad. Plus I've always found bogans to be the most friendliest and helpful people I've ever meet. Not sure why being a bogan is supposed to be a put down. I've seen home amazing prices for homes and am looking forward to the much slower and quieter pace of live. Seems this area is going to be it for me when I'm ready to move!
I've been in Cabo and going on strong for about 5 years. It has its quirks... we laughingly call it 'latenight theatre'. I bought a 'crack house' for a sweet bargain and it's been a labour of love ever since, but I consider it an uncut gem, 1600m2 and right on the river with views to die for. I'm pretty sure I live in the worst pocket of Caboolture. The units to my right are falling apart and the only reason 3 of the 6 units still have tenants is due to the fact they are paying half the market rental. If you are keen they were trying to get rid of them for 100k a pop. The vacant house to my left is now being frequented by the homeless and squatters, but I don't blame them, the house sits on 3600m2 and it also has views to die for, as long as they don't cause a nuisance, I couldn't care less. My neighbours are characters (the good kind) and are happy to keep a lookout for us. New development has been popping up around us and fast encroaching, I probably receive a letter from a developer about once a year. But I'm playing for keeps. This one is going to be passed down to my kids.
Hey, I am doing a school project on how crime rates badly affect the community in Caboolture and from the reviews, I can see there are pros and cons, but could you do me a big favour and tell me why you think crime rates are happening so frequently. I greatly appreciate it, and I would love the help. Thx xoxo
Did you get paid from the council for this review or do you just live in a bubble? Caboolture/Morayfield is a hole ... and whilst you may think land or rent is reasonable take it from someone that has been here for 30 years that it is a hole. Don't believe me then go to Caboolture train station and wonder why coppers ride trains from Caboolture to Narangba. It's not because of Burpengary or Narangba it's because ice addict parents let their children do as they please because the parents don't even know how to pass on values or morals. If you want a place to help guide disaffected youth come to Caboolture, if you want a place for your kids to become corrupted by degenerates ... come to Caboolture. Still some good mature age souls about but honestly I wouldn't raise a family here if you paid me the overpriced rent each week
