"Backward rural Queensland"
Yeah, great beaches as others state...but the ignorant locals allow their dogs to roam free on them. They allow them on beaches that dogs are banned on. They allow them off lead on beaches where they should be on a lead. Dog shit on the sand is a regular sight. Do not relax your guard for a minute if you have young children. When challenged the scum become belligerent.
Council is useless; I have reported scores of incidents with not one officer attending and not one fine issued. FCRC state that 'we are busy'.
Ditto for barking dogs in neighbourhoods. Ignorant dog owners and FCRC does not give a toss. They are of course products of the Queensland 'education' system.
Don't think of buying a house here-a quick look in the classifieds will see a moribund market with the same properties for sale that were on sale in 2010.
Oh and don't forget-no jobs except for a few menial low paid positions working for some 'self made; little dictator!
Gee JimJim, you must have had a hard time here. I've been here 7 years now and throughly enjoy the lifestyle and the locals. I started a job within 2 months of looking, so did my husband. (By the way.. a professional job not a 'menial low paid position') Maybe attitude helps? You get in life what you put out. Attacking the Queensland people is just ignorant, which you accuse them of. Everywhere has 'scum' as you put it, and lets face it .. you've moved to the Sunny Coast? ..umm
I live in Urangan and walk on the beaches regularly and have NEVER come across dog droppings (even on the dog walking beaches when I have joined my sister walking her dogs). I have found the dog walkers to be friendly and very responsible.
I am happy for my kids to use the beaches and we play and relax as a family on the beach regularly.
The jim that posted this has a hard time on the internet also. He can't seem to get his own email address so he uses others. He is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Maybe when he learns how email works he will get his own free account and be responsible for cleaning up his own account after posting such stupid remarks.
I would love someone to contact me as i am 72 and single and thinking of moving there to rent a little unit ,
Hervey Bay and Maryboroough both over priced , incestuous, backwards anti progressive council. The place thrives on nepotism and negativity and is drenched in descent. It is also a Government disposal ground for pedophiles
Thank you all for the comments!
I will like to know if possible, how much are the rates in Urangan for a normal home.
Thank you all
Have to agree wholeheartedly with you there Jimjim. Backwards place with no jobs whatsoever. Spent 5 years there and gave up on the place in the end. Nothing to do, no shops, Council haven't a clue and filled with ferals and pensioners who retired there with $50.00 and a change of shirt. Move to the Sunshine Coast hinterland! We did and love it, plenty of jobs on the coast, quiet rural feel where we are with all the amenities we'll ever need (Beerwah) and 45 minutes to the Big Vegas!
