Kurmond

"Great for time-out but not to live."

Nice wide open spaces with lots of fresh air, perfect for a weekend away or a holiday. However to live there is a different story. We found the community to be a very closed one not very accepting of new residents. The main road is quite treacherous with accidents happening very frequently. Heavy duty trucks make use of this road right through the night, right through the week so there is always noise. In our experience, criminals find the open areas very inviting to hide in, we have had the police on our property at 2am in the morning looking for car thieves that ran away from the vehicle they had stolen and then crashed nearby. We have also had strangers stopping their vehicles at the top of the property and then just strolling around on the property then leaving after disposing of their litter where they parked. We have had to deal with infestations of redback spiders as well as plenty of funnel web spiders. We also started finding that with the increased cost of fuel, it was getting to be an extremely expensive commute each day. We are actually quite relieved to be back in suburbia and will definitely look at going to country areas such as this on holiday.

Wow! I live in Kurmond and this description sounds like another suburb on another planet. It is very welcoming, and there is a wonderful little village-like shopping centre where everyone knows each other and you can buy local produce, get your hair done, have a massage, buy meat and have a quick takeaway or a gourmet deli sandwich. There's even a second hand bookshop and old fashioned barber! It's delightful. My street has the best unofficial neighbourhood watch program and each Australia day the whole street gets together for a BBQ. This person has rated it for retirees but there are loads of families and people of all socio-economic demographics (though to be frank, there is not a lot of ethnic diversity)....and finally - I haven't seen a single redback spider :-)
