If you are a private person who enjoys peace and quiet and values their privacy this is not the street for you. Every-one including people who you have never met know all about you thanks to street reporters we call 'Reuters' and 'News Of The World'. Expect a visit within days of moving in so they can update their spreadsheets.
Cars, letterboxes, Council signs and even Christmas decorations on front fences have been vandalized over the years.
Bogans rev their toys and blast their music at any old hour.
Expect to be tailgated regularly and nearly wiped out on the narrow road by some of the hoons (the speed limit is 50kph not 50mph) who don't understand what a white line means - yes you are not supposed to straddle it.
And don't forget the annual ritual where you will be expected to stand at 7.30 am on Christmas Day, pay your money and have a cup of coffee with the clown who has spent the last 12 months tailgating you.
The fire risk is extreme, a fact that is not appreciated by all. Emmet Road is a 2.5 km dead end road with probably 80 homes. A fire from the E/NE would cause havoc if the road was blocked for whatever reason.
Finally remember to walk with your back to traffic, walk on the road and wear dark clothing especially at night.
