The stigma of lead has kept the price of this great country town low for years yet the smelter operators have spent millions and continue to do so, to ensure lead levels in the area are low. A wonderful community lives and thrives here within a 2 1/2 hour drive of Adelaide and most importantly about the same distance of the Olympic Dam Mine Site and surrounding operations. Excellent fishing is found in the Spencer Gulf and the Southern Flinders Ranges are about 20 minutes drive away. All facilities are located within the town, plenty of schools, shops, parks are to be found as well as the hospital. With houses still available under $100k and plenty of work available it is definitely worth a look.

Cheap and cheerful, with some of the best bargains to be had under $200k within 90 minutes of Sydney and near the coast. Yes there are quite a lot of Housing Commission homes in the suburb however many are being sold off at extremely good prices. The surrounding suburbs average house price is around $350k at the time of writing whereas Bolton Point has plenty around the $250k mark.
Huge amount of green space, right on Lake Macquarie, has its own shopping centre and is right next to Toronto where there are all facilities including some delightful cafes and restaurants. 20 minutes from the centre of Newcastle as well as its surf beaches and up and coming cafe culture. There is not only a boat ramp but several mooring areas as well. Large number of young families live here and it is easy to see why.

A quiet suburb with quick access to the city. Extremely close to beaches, shopping centres, parks, schools, hospitals. Some parts have city skyline views, some have water views. Cheaper houses can be almost half the price of some of those in surrounding suburbs for no reason.
