160 K for a 4 bedroom house back in 2000, seems like a bargin now. Back then though half of these estate's with tiny block didn't exist. Not sure was possessed the council to allow that (actully I do large amounts of $$$$$) but it's really destroyed what was a nice semi country town. Typical of these out suburbs, the pile people in but don't spend a cent on infrastructure to support the number of people, so you end up with a gridlocked main street.

I did like Mount Barker but would not move back there again (left in 2002)

Lived in Tranmere on Magarey Ave when I had just started school, ended up renting a place on the same street in my 20's. Overall not a bad area, close to some good shops, near enougth to the CBD and resonably quiet.

Pretty much grew up in this suburb, it inspired me to get the hell out as soon as I could. Housing Trust estate. Gangs of Teenage and Younger kids. I was looking for something positive here, all I can come up with is our house block was a resonable size. Yes there is parking (if you don't mind your car on bricks when you get back...if its there) Yes there is Public Transport (if you don't mind sharing a bus with someone that hasn't used a shower in a year) Yes there are parks (avoid the gangs and needles)

It's just a place to avoid at all cost
