We finally escaped the insanity of Brisbane after 10 years of misery there thinking we were coming out to a small town tight knit community but yet again we still don't fit in. Everyone seems to be pretty much to themselves, and I really don't like how the butcher puts a sign up about not offering credit. We are a family of 8,with all boys, and have never had a problem buying our 100 dollars a week of meat in credit, and we rarely need longer than 24-48 hours to pay. Regardless of the circumstances, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth and really takes away from that small town feel I really thought still existed. It's also really hard being so far from basically anything. No vet, no dog wash, no dedicated petrol station, high prices at the local grocery shop. I really hope I feel differently soon but it's not the greatest start :(
