Gorokan

"Beats living in Sydney"

I moved to Gorokan from Sydney, I couldnt be happier, should have done it years ago but I was worried about moving away from from grown up children and grandchildren. I see them all the time they love coming up for the day and are actually thinking of moving up here. Once the bypass for Pennant Hills road happens the prices will go up no doubt. Everyone is friendly and have time to say hello. They are not so busy. I travel to Sydney to work and it takes me less time to get there than when I lived in Sydney and not such a stressful drive. Great lifestyle. Im at the beach all the time ten minutes away, great for fishing. I just cant believe it's so cheap yet so central.

Anyone thinking of moving to Gorokan do it, you will not regret it. I haven't met anyone yet who has moved here said they are going back to Sydney, they all love it. I have never witnessed a crime or know of anyone who has had a crime against them. Im sure there is crime but I walk at night and have only ever had people say hello and never felt scared, not like when i was living in sydney. I would say it reminds me of what Sydney use to be like when I was a kid 45 years ago before everyone got stressed out trying to live in a fish bowl. Every shop you could ever want within 15 minutes. There is a Westfields at Tuggerah which you don't need anyway as there are heaps of local shopping. The only downside is I have to agree the council do not spend enough on footpaths. Everyone is relaxed and the kids are happy, plenty of things for them to do such as beach lakes, heaps of parks skateparks and all sports they can ride their bikes on the roads of course not on the main streets but in the local streets not a problem, not like Sydney. You just dont have the same traffic here. Anyway good luck, you will not regret it.
