"Nice; but lacks culture, public transport and a decent playground"
weather is perfect. Very few jobs and a huge lack of diversity in employment. most people I know have been some sort of unemployed for well over 40 years that's how bad it is. Theres zero public transport which means kids are bored and those vulnerable are cut off from a social life. Bogan attracting retail such as Big W and Bunnings have also moved into town meaning fantastic boutique stores of the 90s are no longer. The far north struggles with culture in general but the locals are friendly and hopefully in 50 years time there will be more public services for kids, the elderly and less abled. Hopefully more choice in dining than fatty, English food of last century; replaced with healthy eating. Another thing; there are almost zero schools I'd be happy to send my kids to here.

Dozzal, a fair assessment.
Atherton sounds great to me, as a retired bogan I can't wait to move there next year. Favorite stores are Bunnings and Big W, would not move anywhere that did not have those stores. So if its so bad why are you still there and who wants to live in the past. As far as I can tell there are plenty of boutique stores and great coffee shops, as for culture you have a regional art gallery and Atherton performing arts and I imagine there are other groups as well, plus lots of sporting activities for kids.
